“There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.”

~Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Eric and I have been talking.  The two of us have a lot in common, not just in age, life, and perspective, but within the common tide of our blogging experience. Blogopolis has been good to both of us so far, and each day we each receive emails plump from comparable questions:

How did you get all your subscribers?
How did you get that guest post at…?
How can I do it too?

There are no easy answers to these queries.  Eric and I read more than our share of content, contributing where appropriate.  We take the writing part of our blogging serious and deliver each of our posts as though they will be remembered forever rather than buried within a week.

You here the echo everywhere: content is king and social media necessary, content is king and social media necessary, content is king and social media necessary, content is king and social media necessary.

We all know it isn’t enough.

One thing, we agree, made an immediate difference: a professional look gleaming our blog from the beginning.  I started out on Blogspot, but only felt at home with Thesis. Though I do believe it was the quality of my writing that pushed me forward, I’m also sure there is a contingent of readers who glance first and read second.

Superficial, yes.  Reality, absolutely.

The information highway is not only congested with traffic, it is raving in repetition.  New sites surface daily.  A billion blogs will mean a billion voices.

How will yours stand out?

If your blog is your business, it is vital for your design to stand vivid amongst the masses.  Whether your blog is in birth or rebirth, a few tweaks will make a tremendous difference.  From sprucing up subscription icons to adding a custom logo, limits rest only in imagination.

With a unique look, you won’t squander subscribers by sending the message that you are only an echo.  User experience is critical, and it’s the little things such as accessibility and ease of use that are key.  A helping hand ensures users will navigate your site with ease.

Bland can happen within the pages of your theme whether it’s free or premium.  That doesn’t mean you have to let it find you.

A successful blogger should stand strong from the swarm.

The key is in customization.

Eric and I would like to help.  We have a large enterprise under development, this isn’t it.  This is a project we’ve teamed to do for a restricted period of time.  Eric has a decade of tech experience, and has run his own consulting firm for half that time.  I’m a writer with perfect pitch and a precise eye for detail.  Together, we will give your blog not only a premium glow, but an individual fingerprint as well.

Click here for more details, and we hope to hear from you.  Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you Monday.
