I seem to be channeling Sherman Alexie's power to offend--mildly, but it's happening. I don't mean to be critical of everyone's blog design. It's just hard to stop myself from commenting on it. Once you enter the world of design--and we have--design matters. If we're blogging, we're writers, designers and publishers.
When I say that just because you can add different pictures or effects to a blog doesn't mean you have to, that's all I mean. Using all the tricks is a little bit like using colored type or emoticons in your writing. You don't need all the tricks. You need just enough tricks to showcase what's important, and for most of us that's the writing.
Some stuff I found:
