Do you remember the feeling we had in childhood when our parents bought us new clothes? I surely felt good, I had the sensation that I was shining, that everybody should notice how cool I look in my new costume. I still remember one pair of white boots I was so proud of, that I almost bumped into people, because I was staring at my feet while walking.
Today I can’t take my eyes of my blog’s new clothes, and I have to tell you the story, plus I want to thank the people who made it possible.
All change needs a spark to ignite
In this case, the spark was a blog review I ordered from David of eXtra For Every Publisher, who was kind enough to write a full critique of this blog. I was surprised to find out that he saw such a big discrepancy between the content and the layout:
The site has been built in such a way that it doesn’t say “professional” despite the content being very professional in writing style and tone.
Then I saw a comment on the review, comment done by another blogger I like and I respect, Michael Martine, the Remarkablogger. He agreed that my layout has an “inappropriate header”! (I thought my previous header was cool, but when two people tell you you’re drunk, you should go to sleep 😉 )
If not that, it was David’s answer to Michael’s comment which made me go for a change:
They wanted an honest review, and I think their blog could be HUGE online if they would only work on their on-site advertisements and their design. Their content is amazing, and thus their blog should be too, and so it bummed me out that I had to be so harsh on them.
This was so cool that I made up my mind on the spot: this blog was run for more than one year with the sole purpose of experimenting all kind of things in blogging, SEO, internet marketing, affiliate programs… I never gave it too much attention, I was just happy to have a tool to play with.
Now my tool got a new hat, thanks to Moshin from BloggingBits, who fully understood my brief and did a wonderful job practically over night. If you need a professional logo for your blog, I warmly recommend you to consider Moshin as a potential candidate for the job.
Now I can leave my hat on. Do you?
I am on Camino (a Firefox like browser) and I see some CSS things that need to be fixed but MY GOD! Much better. Kudos to you for going through and updating the desing. Much more professiona, much better in every way… Total 360 where design is concerned.
Just wow… fix the CSS things in other browsers… and it will be perfect. AMAZING!
Hey, David, thanks for stopping by. I’m on Firefox, but you are right, I should check it in other browsers. There are also some details I still have to take care of, but overall, I can say I like it and I’m glad to see you share my opinion.
Thanks for the kind words and recommendation Simonne.:) It was a pleasure to work for you.
And wow! You have adjusted the logo in the header very well. It’s looking cool up there.
You are welcome, Moshin, you surely deserve the recommendation. I’m glad you like how the logo looks on the blog. I told you that in case I like it, I’ll adjust the header.
