RSS5 Quick Ways to Improve Your Blog
Some weeks ago I came across an interesting post on Blogging Tips titled 5 Quick Ways to Improve Your Blog. It basically lists improvements that you can perform on your blog without spending too much time. Here is the first point:
5. Tweak Your Theme
You might not have the time you need to overhaul your theme completely, but what about tweaking it a bit? Why not see if you can improve your site’s typography, thus making your text easier to read? Maybe it’s time for a better logo?
Check out the original article for the other four points. The weekend is coming, and it could be a good time run some of those small tweaks.

I actually just finished tweaking my theme a bit…
@Adam, only four points to go now
Wow, these are great tips for improving a blog. I have only been blogging for just under an month and have really been trying to polish up my site. Yesterday, I actually did totally revamped my theme and adding a lot to my about/static pages. I even added a picture of myself; it’s nice to read his page and get confirmation that I’m headed in the right direction! For editing themes, is it possible to take code from one theme and apply it to another. I just switched to a theme that doesn’t offer nested comment replies and I wanted to try to edit the code to allow for that option again. Any tips?
Great tip. I’ve been tweaking my theme ever since I built my site. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve and make it better. I’m gonna head over now and check out the other 4. Thanks.
I don’t like to do anything outside of adding plugins and putting new content into widget areas. I have gotten burned when the new theme version comes out and I want to upgrade.

Do you have a backup of this post?
I read the whole post.
Quite simple.
One thing I’m thinking : Should we display our blog’s statics?
In my opinion, if you want to build a blog more like a website, you shoudn’t do this.
Absolutely right. Don’t let the theme in its original way. Tweak and put a lot of modification for better use of the blogs!
I missed this step when I first blogging and now I’m avoiding the same mistake to happen.
Nice tips. In fact over a period of time in blogging, you tend to get so busy in to regular routines that time for small improvement tweaks does’nt occur to you. Good reminder. Yes small improvements can make a world of difference to your blog. Thanks
Don’t get carried away adding widgets and features. It can get rather time consuming (DAYS…)

well where is the original article???
In your blog Make sure your titles are relevant to your topic, make sure you refer to your topic keywords throughout your posts, and make sure you tag your posts properly. Also make sure to interlink your posts with older relevant posts. Always use keywords you are interested in ranking high for and keep these keywords concentrated around a specific topic.
Even i have tweaked my Theme. Removed few images and made it light. Now blog is at loading at 0.60 second.
Every little helps.
Thanks for providing the link to an interesting and informative article… with so many blogs out there, we need all the help we can get.
Great points. Static pages should be re-read and updated regularly, it is more professional.
I agree with Eric C, re-read and updated are always good. I also think that a little research goes along way.

How about asking your viewers how you can improve your blog? And if you don’t have enough viewers to ask…there’s your problem
I like the concept. Introduce an interesting article to your readers, and then send them to the original source. I love it! There you have it. I just spoke my mind.

Daniel,
As a new blogger I have been watching my daily traffic and have noticed a decided drop over weekends. Noting your closing paragraph, I was wondering if this is a normal pattern?
Is it normal to have a traffic dip over the weekends? I would have expected it to be the other way around, but (my stats) suggest a definite slump.
Thanks for the post.
