subject: one hundred Nice Weblog Logos [print this page] I have solely been operating this weblog for a short time on 3rd March 2007. Throughout this time nevertheless, I've learnt lots - both as a author and as a weblog reader.
I have found myself changing into more and more annoyed of late with usability issues on some blogs that can so easily be corrected, and I want to share these today.
I hope that if you find your blog doesn't adjust to these tips you will be inspired to make the necessary modifications to enhance its usability.
1) Guarantee your logo hyperlinks to your property page
It is just about a normal convention now that your website's emblem should link to your home page. Almost each customer to your website will click on in your emblem and count on to be taken to your website's index. Don't frustrate them by not following this convention.
2) Place the hyperlink to your comments type at the finish of your articles
I seem to be coming throughout an ever growing variety of blogs which have the hyperlink to their comment type firstly of an article. This makes completely no sense - why would I touch upon an article before reading it? The natural strategy of weblog studying dictates that somebody will read an article first, then determine if they need to submit a comment.
Right now, they are going to be on the finish of your article. If the link to the comment type will not be there, most won't bother in search of it not to mention scroll to the start of the article on the off-probability it's there instead.
I typically find that blogs with a low variety of feedback (notably for his or her visitors ranges) fail to have a hyperlink to their remark type on the end of their articles. Don't make the same mistake!
three) Moderate comments shortly
When you have set your weblog comments to 'Average all' then make sure you approve them quickly. Contributors don't need to see their time being wasted - if they submit a remark and it doesn't seem to get published on the weblog, the chances are they will not try a second time.
4) Respond to your feedback
Comments are there to add value to your articles. It's in your greatest interests to foster a sense of group at your blog. You can do this by replying to comments left by contributors.
When you receive an enormous variety of feedback every day, you shouldn't really feel obliged to answer each one however you must take the time to answer to any questions or specific queries.
5) Make your 'tab order' logical
Lots of people fill in kinds solely utilizing their keyboards. These customers will move between every input form through the use of the 'Tab' key - make issues easy for these individuals by guaranteeing your forms (notably the remark kind) have a logical tab order.
As soon as the first enter box is selected, each press of the Tab key ought to transfer the cursor to the very subsequent field in the type - not two packing containers down, or away from the form completely!
