Top 10 Ways to Uglify Your Blog

Over on christianmontoya.com, you can find a funny post on the “Top 10 Ways to Uglify Your Blog“. While I don’t agree with everything listed, I find it interesting to see other people’s point of view on what makes a good or bad blog design, especially since I don’t find Christian’s design all that appealing.

He mentions things like:

Orange XML/RSS Buttons
Long Blogrolls
XHTML/CSS Buttons

Check out the list, and let me know what you think makes a nice looking or ugly looking blog. (Please don’t use BloggingPro as an example…unless its for the nice looking side)

I agree with everything except the photo of you. I kinda like seeing the person behind the writing. It gives me a sense of knowing them.

(Yea, I’m hypocritical on that point as well as the fact that I do have ads on a few pages, but they are only on posts which I have proof people are coming and leaving quickly.)
