I love your new design. A fresh new design is important as it shows to your readers and subscribers that you are serious about the brand and image your blog represents.

Hi Yaro

Thought you might be interested to hear that we’re getting close to a public beta launch of OpenX Hosted. Shoot me an email if you’d like some details ahead of the launch.

cheers,

That kind of work should really be done before the blog design is released, I know it can be a pain but its got to be done at some time.

Daniel – We’re still working on a few display glitches for certain browsers. Mick hopefully one day will get them all figured out, but it’s does take some fiddly work to make a new blog design perform how it should across all browsers.

Hey Great Post, eh!

I enjoyed you discussing some of your new usability concept improvements such as the opt-in box, the use of audio and the new Wordpress Mastermind theme. They all look great.

However, I was just wondering if you could comment on something? I was noticing that there appears to be some text that overlaps from other text or pictures directly above the opt-in box.

How do you fix these glitches?

Daniel.

Interesting post. But I think that blog design is little more important than you said. If blog doesn’t have a good look, even if he has good contents it will be hard to make people read it’s contents because most of them may just leave the blog as soon as they see it.

This is a useful post Yaro. I’ve been reading around elsewhere plus from what you mentioned, a good design (with good content) can make a visit so much more pleasant.

I’m in the process of re-theming my sites too.

I am new to blogging and I found so much useful information on your site. I love the layout and may one day start my own blog about my experience with building my business. There is so much information out there that one can be overwhelm with it. The key is to stay focus and organized. You must also remember the BIG WHY….why are you doing this.

I really like the new design and the way you have arranged all the essentials. I have currently redesigned my blog as well. I used a minimalistic approach to my design. I still have to work out some details, like a more prominent “Get Rss Feed” box. Besides that, I should really start building a list. Have a look at my site. My Wordpress Theme is available for free on the Wordpress Themes Page.
