What will make your blog stand out from the thousands of other blogs online? One of the many things bloggers don't think of is how to make theirs different and attract readers to subscribe and visit their blogs often. Besides coming up with a great niche and topics to write about, a blog design is important. An ugly blog design will certainly make YOUR blog stand out, but that's not the stand out you want to attract. You can choose a simple template and then tweak it with your personal touch like adding a customize header. Once you personalize your blog, you will need to add content, but not just any content...quality content. It's important to have your voice heard.
