Blog Tips No.755

2007-08-17

About two weeks after the beginning of the Technorati link campaign, through which I got to know many other blogs (and got a few more visitors myself), I wanted to write together a few thinks that came to my mind about blogging and blog design. I don’t claim that these are absolutely new (hence the not really serious no. 755 in the title), since there are other (and often better, more extensive ;) ) articles with blog tips elsewhere – e.g. at Daily Blog Tips, Lorelle on WordPress (both Englisch), BlogForMoney.de, Software Guide, Perun (all German), to name but a few.

It’s just about my opinions(!) and experiences with things that I came across while working on my own blog and on my journey through the world of blogs (where I don’t want to insult anybody even remotely – I don’t tell any names, anyway…).

:pfeif:

Content overview:

  1. Clean up the sidebar(s)
  2. Readability
  3. Test different browsers
  4. Test without JavaScript
  5. Link colors
  6. Don’t mix languages
  7. Don’t carry it to far

Icons

2007-08-16

No, Oliver from aptgetupdate.de, you’re not the last one to hear about the German “Blogosphäre in Icons” – at most, last but one. :)

It’s a nice project, it’s just bound to become more and more confusing the more blogs participate. But you can just click somewhere at random and see what kind of blog shows up, just like you can throw a dart at a map to determine where to spend your vacation.

(No, I’m not telling you to throw a dart at the monitor.) :tongue:

Edit: I just made it so that 7 bit are sufficient – I’m number 127 in the list. :crazy:

Music Quotes

2007-08-14

This used to be a list of all music quotes, i.e. song lyrics excerpts, that used to be displayed below (almost) every post. Mostly because of the efforts to find new and unused quotes for new posts and because one day some copyright fetishist might complain, they have been removed quite some time ago.

Technorati ChainNet

2007-08-05

This is a Technorati link campaign among German blogs, so, sorry, the following text is German only.

In einem verzweifelten :tongue: Versuch, Links und Leser zu bekommen, kommt mir diese aktuelle Aktion vom Infopirat grad recht: Machst du mich zu deinem Favoriten, mach ich dich zu meinem. :kissc:

Und so geht’s:

  1. Mach Infopirat und mein Blog hier zu deinem Favoriten bei Technorati – und vielleicht auch Datenschmutz , denn dort wird mehr zur Bedeutung von Technorati erklärt, und GreenSmilies , von dem diese hübschen grünen Button stammen.
  2. Schreibe einen kleinen Beitrag bei dir zum Thema Technorati-Blogkette und fordere deine Leser auf, daran teilzunehmen (und auch zu dir zu linken).
  3. Verlinke diesen meinen Artikel hier, den du gerade liest, und den von Infopirat.
  4. Ich checke bei Technorati, ob du mein Blog verlinkt hast, und füge dich dann meinen Favoriten bei Technorati hinzu – und liste dich unten in diesem Beitrag.
  5. Sollte ich dich vergessen, oder du möchtest das ganze gerne beschleunigen, schreib hier einen Kommentar und füge deinen “Add to Technorati” Link ein.

Dann mal los :aufgehts: – mal sehen, was es bringt… :angel:

Diese “FaveBacks” (und neue) kamen bisher:
