@ Andy – Well Andy they say only 10-20% of visitors use RSS. It is still a relatively unadopted technology. But yes, I still say content is more important than design. At least for a blog.

@ Bendz – Thanks for visiting! I would suggest getting a book on design and just start playing around with it if you have the time. There is also a lot of good stuff on the net.

@ Jannie – Thanks for the compliment. I am glad my site is coming together and people are really enjoying it.

I agree Yan. You gotta have both. I look at design as the vehicle to deliver the message.

Good design matters because we are all humans. We have been trying to create things in our vision since time immemorial. That which we deem as good design is simply something that resonates with our personal vision of what the world should be ideally. Allan’s last blog post..Semper Fidelis

Hi Jeremy

Your logo is fresh and awesome. It blends nicely with the design. I kinda love the makeover you’ve done here. Yes, good design matters indeed as they say “First Impression” do last, doesn’t it?.

It’s one of those reasons why your readers stop and read your contents. On the flip side, good design with crappy contents might just be another “turn off”…

Hi. I saw you over at Barbara's Blogging Without A Blog blog. I like your design a lot, nice and balanced. And "freshly squeezed insight" is such a delightful tagline. I am still getting my design right, and of course I don't know how to tweak my CSS, wonky fonts and no time-stamp in my comments box yet. Luckily will hopefully get some help from the Austin Wordpress Group. Jannie’s last blog post..And “The Real Jannie” is…?

Hi,

Nice post.
Good design of the site means, we can spend some more time in the site.

But I’m weak in design area
Enjoyable blog.

Now that you mention it, your website's design is pretty nifty! I'm thinking about a new layout for my website in 2009. To be honest though, with more and more people subscribing via email and RSS feeds, I wouldn't get too hung up with the site's design. However, I wouldn't completely neglect it either since even people who read RSS feeds in a reader (like me!) have to come to the site to comment. TheAndySan’s last blog post..I Need Help Donating!
