I’ve had this blog redesign for a few years now, and it may start to show its cracks. For some, they like the simple layout and design, easy to scroll, for others, they may want a more updated look and feel.<\/p>\n
I’ve noticed quite a few blogs have been changing their designs lately, they are more media centric, have more of a front page newspaper look, esp for high volume blogs. Who’s done it?

He gives me and other bloggers some food for thought on effective blog design for 2008.<\/p>\n I believe in full feedback loop (part of the reason I ask so many questions), and in fact have done surveys’ before to find out what folks want (I now know the majority of my readers are interactive marketers<\/a>). I keep in mind that I write for a business audience, often a corporate, that’s making decisions about how to use web tools.<\/p>\n Perhaps one of the most important thing about user experience is to remember the users, so I’d like to turn it over to you:<\/p>\n I’ve had this blog redesign for a few years now, and it may start to show its cracks.
