Design Your Own Free Blog logo

Every blog should have their own unique logo, at least I think so. Those who visits this blog daily would have noticed I have changed logos countless times. That’s because I am a real fussy old man and I can’t decide if the design is good, bad or even suitable. All the previous logos were made by me and not being a trained graphic designer, I have this silly complex that keeps telling me that the logos looks amateurish.

I still give an option for email feeds subscription because some still prefers that but I am not encouraging it anymore with free downloads and stuffs.

There was time when email feeds were very much encouraged because every subscription you get, the numbers will consistently show up in your stats. In the case of RSS feeds, your figures will fluctuate, sometimes to the tune of hundreds. It is said to be due to your subscribers not logging in that day so their feeds do not register. So the norm was and still is among many blogs, to lure would be subscribers to subscribe with their emails rather than their feed readers. That was the reason back then and there was no other ulterior motives, like plans to spam you with their sale pitches.

Optimize Your Blog Post For Search Engines

The most frequently touted advise by blog gurus is something like ‘write good quality contents and traffic will come” or something to that nature. I have always rubbished this advise for my personal believe is, no matter how good the quality of your blog post is, it does no good if you cannot get people to read it. It is ONLY after you have established a readership base big enough to sustain the survival of your blog that you can do whatever you like. Like writing articles that expresses your expert writing skills with lots of beautiful words that no one searches for in the Net. In the meantime, I feel it would be better that we write the way Search Engines prefers us to.
