When should I change the look of my blog?

Today’s question:

When is it advisable to change the LOOK of the blog?

This is a good question but one with no right answer.

I don’t tend to change the look of my blog very often. There has to be a reason for me to change.

The look of your blog is part of your branding so I would not change it just to change it. If you do I would tend to do minor changes not major changes unless the theme wa quite frankly crap or causing problems.

As long as the theme is easy to read and displays properly then there is not a reason for it.

Now lets look at some reasons you would like to change your look.

1. Your bored with it.
2. You want to make it easier to read.
3. You are doing a redesign on your business and want to match it.
4. Your current theme is just “crap”

The most important thing to me is that my blog is easily readable. All of the great designs and super sharp design elements are not worthwhile if your blog is hard to read.

For me I am old and bald with bad eyes. Small type fonts and dark backgrounds tend to make blogs hard for me to read. If it is hard to read I am less likely to follow and read the blog no matter how great your content is or how sharp your design looks.

As always your comments and questions are welcomed.
