When it comes to food AND design, people eat with eyes first. I really loved this post and the excellent analogy on why it’s so important for writers/bloggers to design an appealing space. If you want to have a presence on the web, this is so, so key. Every blogger (or anyone with a website!) should read this!
I think I latched onto this concept early on, and maybe that has something to do with working at a restaurant so long. Presentation is extremely important. I don’t know how many times I sent a plate back to the kitchen and said, “this looks like crap, and I’m too embarrassed to bring it to my customer.”
Same goes for good blog or web design and good composition of a post. Remember that someone’s first impression ISN’T the words you write (or the way your food tastes). It’s the way your website looks to a new visitor when they enter—it’s the first signal of what type of content you’ll be dishing up. Just like how the look of a plate signals the quality and taste of the food!
I know not everyone is all that serious about blogging, but this is great advice for those who are. It’s something I don’t claim to have down just right, but continue to strive for.
Just some thoughts for your Wednesday. I love to share good info when I find it!
