If you wanna run a blog, you need to know at least a little bit about web design. You can use the best blogging platform and the most impressive template, you’ll almost always need to make some adjustmenst, or perhaps you want to design something yourself. A good design blog to get started is Stylish Design.
Stylish Design focuses mostly on planning, design, search engine optimization and tools, not so much on HTML, CSS or Javascript. There are alreade plenty of websites about that around anyway! Besides, you know all there is to know about that, that doesn’t mean you can design and manage a website.
A very good article to get started is Top three web design basics. This article deals with contrast, balance and rhythm. It’s basically about designing a smooth, balanced page that’s easy to read and doesn’t hurt you eyes with screaming colors.
Another useful category on the website is search engine optimization. After all, what good is a website if nobody ever visits it? Search engine optimization is almost a profession on its own, but some very basic tips can already make a huge difference. Highly recommended reading for every blogger and web designer!
