The Importance of Design for a Blog
Design for a blog:
Blogs are important and there is no doubt about that. Along with that it is also important to have your blog updated and with informative content.

That is the design of the blog. It is wise to give priority to this, for it has everything to do with your traffic and helping you to make profit through your blog. Imagine a
picture which isn’t so cheerful or is without colors (now we aren’t talking about the black and white classics here) and the one which is beautifully painted and coloured. Of course you would prefer to buy the one with better appearance, i.e. the second one.
Therefore it is obvious that people get attracted to the picture or anything which is artistically made. The design of your blog, therefore is also necessary. You need to compete and strive to get the attention of your target audience with other millions of blogs on the internet. Unless you have a great appearance, the chances are almost none, for them to notice you.
