Which One Is More Important - A Blog Design or Its Content?

I’ve been using this current theme called “What’s your solution?” by GFXedit.com. While it’s not the prettiest in town, I like it so much I’ve never really bothered looking for an alternative since this blog went online.

The original version has a corporate feel to it. But I dislike the small font so I increased its size. Other than that I’ve changed the colour of the links to make it closer to a standard link colour and tweaked several details to suit my needs.

This is how it looks like in its original form.

Find out How Many Subscribers a blog has Even When Its FeedCount Is Hidden

When you visit a blog, chances are it’s probably using FeedBurner counter to keep track of its RSS feed subscriber counts. Most bloggers display the FeedBurner FeedCount chicklet quite happily; others choose to hide it for several reasons.

I hide mine, at least temporarily, to see whether this could speed up the subscribing process.

The argument is that visitors are more likely to subscribe to a feed if they see a higher count because it tells them that you are an authoritative voice in your niche. From the poll I conducted recently, that seems to be the case where most of my readers say they are more likely to subscribe to a blog if it has a higher subscribe counts.

Do I Really Think It’s Worth Paying John Chow Dot Com $400 for A Review?

As most of you know, the other day I ordered a ReviewMe from John Chow Dot Com.

Then I did a review of the ReviewMe experience to answer a question many people may have, which is whether the review worth the 400 bucks. At the end of the article I concluded that the ReviewMe was worth the $400.

Seriously, did I really think the 535 visitors, at $0.75 each was worth $400? Well, if that’s the only thing I get out of it, obviously it’s not worth the price.

Are You More Likely to Subscribe to a Blog With a Higher Subscriber Counts?

I came across a blog post that said having your FeedCount displayed when you still have a low number of subscribers can prevent potential subscribers from subscribing to your feed.

The argument is that visitors are more likely to subscriber to a feed if they see a higher count because it tells them that you are an authoritative voice in your niche.

If everyone is subscribing to your feed, surely you know what you are talking about and they should subscribe to it too. In order words, some people use your subscriber counts to judge the quality of your blog.

My Internet Income Report for July 2007

Everyone (well more and more bloggers anyway) seems to be revealing their blogs’ income nowadays, following a trend started by John Chow Dot Com. If there were others who had chosen to reveal their blogs income before John Chow, I am not aware of them. Those that I know of didn’t go into as much details as what John Chow is doing.

I know how much you make is your own business so many bloggers prefer not to reveal their earnings.
