Blog Ideas

This week I looked at other people's blogs to get some ideas for my own.  Here are the three blogs that I liked any what parts of them captures my attention.

Color Wheel

1. Mythology & Folklore - I chose this blog for the color theme.  Everything about this blog was slightly purple.  The background for the text was a very light purple, and then blog background was a purple image, and even the heading where purple.  This game the blog a very uniform theme.  It was not however distracting and the text was still easy to read.
2. Ali's Mythology and Folklore Blog -I chose this blog because I love the background images.  The birds on either side are symmetric.  The whole blog has a very soft and welcoming feeling.
3. Alexandra's Myths - This is one of the other blogs that uses widgets.  Alexandra added a weather widget to the side of her blog.  This is something that I plan to add to my blog in the future, maybe as this week's tech tip. 

Overall I think most of the blogs I've seen have nice designs.  The style of design does not matter a whole lot to me, since there are many acceptable choices.  My only complaint or comment to other people is that occasionally text will be really hard to read.  It doesn't matter how cool your blog looks, but if the text is not readable then nobody is going to want to stay at your blog.

Although I liked the blogs I sited above, they work well for a different person's personality.  I put thought and effort into the look of my blog initially, so there really isn't anything I want to change about it.  I will add a weather widget to the side and use that as one of my tech tips.
