My approach in designing my blog was fairly simple: Make it engaging and eye-catching so that it appeals to even the most disinterested online viewers.
I figured the easiest way to do that was to include a lot of bright colors, bold headlines, and captivating pictures. For that reason, I decided to use large yellow font for my blog title and description. I also included a few pictures along the side of the page to further enhance the look and grab the attention of potential readers. I like both pictures because they're high quality and compliment the overall theme of the blog.
I made sure to include a search bar at the top of the page to allow for easy access to different content that I post, such as tags and other key words. Along the left side of the page, I have a blog archive section for similar reasons. I also put a news ticker with headlines and updates from BBC, CNN, and MSNBC. It seemed like a very applicable gadget given the fact that my blog frequently refers to my work in the journalism sector.
At the bottom of my blog, I included an 'About Me' section so that readers can learn more about my personal and professional ventures. Lastly, I included a section in which readers can follow the blog via email or subscribe to posts and comments. I consider this an important part of any professional blog, as it helps with public outreach and maintaining a noticeable online presence.
