I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately, as I keep discovering new ones via entrecard. Here are a few things I recommend, to make a blog easy to read, interesting, and user-friendly:

• Have content above the fold - not just a bunch of ads. If all I see are ads, how do I know what your blog is about?
• Try to limit the number of ads and widgets, even though they are fun, because they can make your blog load slowly & start to look cluttered.
• Include interesting photos in your posts when possible - it really makes me want to read more.
