Hi, Tom thanks for such a informative article, I do agree to the point that the people who visit the site majorly get attracted by the design, but in my opinion the content is the next thing people look for

Thanks these are some excellent tips indeed – I am still trying to get the design part of my blog down, it looks ok but not great yet…

I’ve been through three layout on blogs over the years. Each one has been a drastic improvement over the first and i can honestly say a good site design is first and foremost in building a good community around your site. Other than that content is key, but i’d definitely take the time to find a good wordpress layout in the beginning as you work to establish regular viewer ship and provide content to the blogging community

I don’t have an amazing design, nor a product, nor something groundbreaking. All I rely is the quality of my compositions. I hope this will do. Forgive me. :-)

Very interesting points about the branding. It’s something i always struggle with. I don’t know whether to use my real name, a nickname, my photo, a logo… I am always changing my mind! Probably not helping to brand my site.

Quality content is critical. I've come across multiple blogs which are poorly designed, however the blogger has insight into the subject matter, which attracted me to the blog. The rest should follow after the basic is achieved. .-= Muzi Mohale´s last blog ..Emzini Tours contributes to community development in Knysna township =-.

cool post! but i’ll go for number 1 and 4. i’m just starting to learn how to blog and still can’t go further with offering a product of some sort. i just share my experiences and everyday views of a college student.

I believe that the best way to give an edge to a site is with the title. For the branding, comment on sites with commentluv enabled. I came across this site from another blog after seeing a comment and the last post with the edgy title .-= John Samuel ´s last blog ..Browse Easy now on Twitter =-.

Good points. However, IMO, I think quality writing is a must. The other three are great to have but fresh, new content is key. .-= Gabe | freebloghelp.com´s last blog ..Do Unto Others’ Blogs As You Would Have Them Do Unto Yours =-.

Good point, Tom. And as time goes on, this truth will be more and more vital. Seems like I read something once about being remarkable… like a purple cow or something…

First point is often the most important. When a new visitors comes, the first thing he notices is the design. If there is something good in this department, the chances of him/her staying longer are increased. Although other three are also very important and come into play right after design. .-= Mr. I´s last blog ..Welcome To All New Blogging With Success =-.
