Successful Blogs

Whenever I ask this question, I get the answer: “sure, of course design matters”, then usually I get a “check my blog / website to see!” And what I see usually makes a mockery of their initial statement.

We have recently had the results of the Bloggies 2007 - that world-wide competition for the best in weblogs. And, to be honest, I was a little surprised by the deisgn quality of some of the winning blogs.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m appreciative of the fact that they are high-traffic, highly successful weblogs with many [...]

… the other blogs in the Successful Blogs network. There’s some stuff going on in Blogging Advice - something I should have taken notice of! And check the news pages.

In the past few days, I’ve discovered an online forum, where new blogegrs and old hands and professionals meet and discuss … well, blogging.

This is the start of Successful Blogs! Break out the champagne!
