The layout of a blog is perceived as the personal brand not only of the blog but of the blogger.
In the beginning…
In the beginning, and my very first attempt at serious blogging, this blog was dedicated to more “personal discharges” than photography, although already inserted on my photography-related site (see the TLD for what I’m talking about) – and thus the name.
With time I saw myself writing more and more about photography than anything else and I decided to dedicate it exclusively to photography, with a focus on digital photography, and although the name might not make much sense, it stuck, and I think if for nothing else, it distinguishes it from the crowd.
On the visual side, the template this blog is using still came from those very early days, almost since I made it live (there was another but for a very shot period of time). It took me ages to adapt the original theme and customize it to what I needed.
The hunt restarts…
With growth, I’m starting to have the feeling that the current theme, although I still like it, is not enough to support the blog anymore. I need something that interacts more with the readers while, at the same time, un-clutters it and makes it more reader-friendly.
So, the hunt begins again…
I’m looking for a new theme. This time though, supported by a much more extensive knowledge of CSS and how a Content Management System like WordPress works, I hope to find one and customize it in a way that stays for a longer period of time.
So, this is where I need your help.
How would you like this site to look like? What are the main things that you think a blog dedicated to photography should have? A one sidebar layout or two? Bigger header? Bigger footer?
Tell me what you think. Help me in this process so that you can also enjoy it more. Or, is it good the way it is?
Share your thoughts on the comments bellow. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
For my feed readers, you probably need to pop around the site to take a look at how it is right now.
Thanks again for any help you may provide.
