OK everyone. Today I am going to be asking a few questions about my layout.
I have noticed a lot of the blogs I follow are filled with colorful backgrounds and titles, and I just feel that this is not for me. My blog has a very simple/minimalistic view, and I want to know what everyone thinks about this.
Personally, I love looking at my blog lol. It's very easy on my eyes (although maybe the white is a bit too bright.. o_O) and easy to read. I just prefer the whole minimalist look as it doesn't overindulge the eyes.. I tend to get distracted when there are a lot of things to notice xD.
But! I am not the one that will be looking at it. So I ask you, my loyal readers, what do you consider aesthetically pleasing in a blog? I understand that everyone is different in preference, and so I'd like to get an idea of what my readers are looking for when they read mine and other blogs.
Are you happy with my minimalistic style? Are you disappointed by it? Perhaps indifferent?
All feedback is welcome :). As always, thank you all.

i do like the minimalistic approach you have taken, however, i think a bit of colour is a good way of making your blog look attractive. With my blog, the text background is white but the blog background is a very simple yellow background which i think works well because it is bright but doesnt distract the reader. Have a look to see what i mean

i like it. just like u, i think the fancy backgrounds are distracting and it makes it harder to read the text. however, if you have a background other than white that isnt too distracting it could work.
ReplyDeleteImo you should maybe add a frame, would look a bit better and at the sametime not to much.
ReplyDeleteI find it all very aesthetically pleasing. It is easy to read and it loads quickly and doesn't cause any problems. The more garbage that gets thrown in there it just clogs everything up.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't try to over do it then you will probably concern yourself more with what people think of your content overall. Good job by the way!
ya man the simpler, the better trust me
ReplyDeleteI like it :)
ReplyDeleteSimple is good in my opinion, fancy backgrounds can be distracting.
ReplyDeletePersonally I sometimes like a colorful theme as long as it doesn't make the text too hard to read. but i can go for the minimalist style as well, so do what you like, as long as the posts are readable it's all good.
ReplyDeleteTasty - this is yumm..
ReplyDeleteSome blogs really make me scream "my eyes!myeyes!
This is pretty good
It's nice. Some people just have no clue how to make a site look decent...some sites are absolute shit to be honest. But you can never go wrong with minimalistic. Try to be creative and make something work, though!
ReplyDeleteI think you saw my blog, and know that I like a bit of contrast - the minimalistic theme where the writing is concerned, but with a bit of a chaotic background to make the cleanliness of the actual blog stand out.
ReplyDeleteOH GOD! MY EYES! MY EYEEEEEEES! No but seriously, I like it. Very simple.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks good, I like the simpler pages.
ReplyDeletewayyyy too bright for me. :(
ReplyDeleteI like it. Mine's got backgrounds and clutter--it's alright--but I like yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking to update mine though. Not the way I want it to look just yet.
It definitely stands out with the white background. I like it.
ReplyDeletegreat layout
