It is not enough to get people to visit your blog. The most important things are to make them stay and visit again the next time they log on to the internet, and to inform other people of the existence of your blog. Here are some helpful tips you should consider when designing your blog in order to make visitor come back for more:
1. Your home or opening page should contain a clear explanation of what your site is all about. No one wants to waste time clicking on link and going through page of next just to discover what your intentions are.
2. Your site must be easily navigable. A site manu at the top, bottom, or side of each page is very helpful especially for the first time visitor, especially your blog has lots of page.
3. Your site content is its heart, so make sure that it has subtance. The content is you taking to the visitor, so you should be concerned about making a good impression.
4. Your links should be clearly labeled. If a link leads to a guestbook, a 'Guestbook' name such link is direct and straight to the point.
5. Dark text on light background is best for reading. Black text on white background is the most readable. Light on dark can work too, but it tends to be glaring fo some people.
