This is where we need to be strong and ax some things.

It is very hard to make your design be wanted by everyone. But, as long as it is useable for you and some of the key readers or bloggers you have connected with then I would just consider it good.

Every time we will be faced with a critique from someone about our design. But, that does not mean you have to change it. Just tell them why you like it the way you have it and its purpose. Sometimes we give in to easily because we want to attract an audience.

Think about this… Darren Rowse at ProBlogger could care less what people think of his design although he would appreciate the input. This is because he knows people will continue to come to it. But, starting out accept some but not all criticism.

Sometimes the usability features are being ignored when trying to make a great site design or vice versa.

I am really eager to learn and study making great web designs but I don’t want the usability features of my future sites to suffer.

Content is queen. Marketing is king!
My Latest Blog Post: How to Construct Interviews That Rocks

I was actually looking at a whole new approach as a blog that changes designs on a regular basis is actually the “brand” of it. A very different and a thought way out there that might work, might not work.

Something like a weekly or monthly design change that could attract new people and maybe change aspects of the design itself at the same time.

This might never work, who knows.

It could though, what do you think?

You almost have to find a good middle ground that takes into consideration both your target audience and what you want your readers or audience to gain from you and your site.

A design along side with content says a lot.

What you have to be careful with is that your blog design is really your brand. If you are changing your blog design all the time people (your readers) will not know what blog you have by first glance (they will start to question).

But, if you are changing one certain aspect of our blog design like the background tone or something I could see that helping out with your overall theme with your content. Think of it as applying a skin to your blog. (like the personas for Firefox 3.6)

I hope that helps.

What I am talking about here though is to actually change the blog’s design to fit current needs on an ongoing basis.
