Who are you addressing? Is it the fashionista crowd who\u2019ll prefer a chic and minimalist design or is it foodie people who&#8217;ll enjoy high-res photos of your latest recipes? Everybody has a different definition of what is pleasing to the eye, so think of your target audience and what you would like them to take back from that experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3.

So many people will be browsing with their phone, that\u2019s why if your blog is mobile-friendly, it will definitely be a huge incentive for them to come back. The most straightforward way is probably to create a responsive website, for which we have many examples: <a href=\"http:\/\/crememag.co\/blogging-tips\/10-feminine-wordpress-theme-for-your-blog\/\">WordPress Themes<\/a>.<a href=\"http:\/\/crememag.co\/blogging-tips\/10-feminine-wordpress-theme-for-your-blog\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Sharing Tools<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If people love what they see\/read, help them spread the love. By this, we mean incorporating share buttons for Facebook\/Twitter\/Pinterest\/Instagram and whichever other social network you\u2019re on. Make sure they are visible and well incorporated with your blog\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. Content is King<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This may seem obvious, but remember that no matter what, content is key. Your blog may have the most beautiful\/user-friendly design, but if your posts seem like they\u2019ve been written by a 10 year old, you may not have many recurring visits. And remember, long posts dont\u2019t necessarily mean they&#8217;re good. It can be short and sweet, as long as you\u2019re bringing something new to the table and talking about it in your own personal manner.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3070 alignleft\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-08-12 at 11.42.32\" src=\"http:\/\/crememag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Screen-Shot-2013-08-12-at-11.42.32.png\" width=\"387\" height=\"183\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the end, a blog\u2019s design can definitely have a huge impact, but keep in mind that even with a small budget, you can still have something that\u2019s well though out and offers some quality content.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to participate in our next #mibchat that will be held August 21st, just follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/madeinblog.ca?ref=hl\">Facebook <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/madeinblog\">Twitter<\/a> and we&#8217;ll keep you updated.<\/p>\n<h4>Cheers<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/crememag.co\/fr\/la-vie-de-blogueur\/inspirationblogposts\/attachment\/delphine-2-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2870\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2870\" alt=\"Delphine\" src=\"http:\/\/crememag.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Delphine.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"58\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 1.
