Kamila Looking At a New Blog Face

Not a week goes by when Kamila looks at how things are going with her blog and reflects on how it can improve. She is not just talking about increased traffic but the overall way her blog looks. It may seem ‘okay’ for new visitors, but to those who visit regularly perhaps it has become to static and needs a new look or style.

Being a ‘blogger’ blogger and on a free web host service the things she can do to spic up her site are surprisingly quite diverse. Kamila found that she can completely change the look of her blog, have sub-menus and broaden her whole blog outlook by using other Blogger designed formats from web designers who are giving them away free. There are hundreds of them to choose from and most absolutely free, albeit the designers name has to be at the foot of the home page – fair do. (E.g. iblogerz.blogspot.com)

With most of these new designs you have to save all you ‘extra add on’ bits and load in again onto the new format. Kamila just doesn’t feel confident enough to do this just yet, but might just experiment with a test site from Blogger. It is free do so she has nothing to lose.

On another front Kamila is also looking at how things are at home in Egypt. The reason was she saw a documentary all about her homeland on television the other day. She still feels that she is indeed fortunate not to be a camel carrier this is a hard life for a camel. She’d much rather be in Bulgaria as a blogging camel writing about it.

Kamila says “ I hope your December is a happy and joyful one!”

Thoughtful Widget Placements For Entrecard and Adgitize

As Kamila drops on fellow Entrecard and Adgitize members, she notices that many are doing the sensible thing by place both respective widgets in the same frame. This make thing so much smoother for droppers that is a partisan to both parties.

Kamila does the same thing herself as she is a thoughtful camel and wants to make it easier for her friends that drop in. Beside she only has one post on her home page so an added bonus is that droppers don’t need to scroll down at all. She does wonder why others put the widgets in separate segments of their blog home page and wondered if it was because they wanted dropper to linger longer on their sites and avoid the ‘bouncing’ affect.

Then Kamila thought a bit more, if droppers are going to bounce their drops they wouldn’t bother wasting time scrolling up and down in search of the elusive second widget. Kamila like many other bloggers that drop will browse the site as well as drop and if something holds their attention they will read on before moving on. Surely this is the beauty of Entrecard an Adgitize, you get rewarded for reading many blogs, which is what you’d do anyway.

Without wanting to sound like a fusspot, Kamila will always drop on those who have dropped on hers before she does anything else. Then she can go on to choose other interesting blogs to browse, whether they have the widgets together or not.

This is all fun for Kamila who seems to be growing in blogging stature now as each week goes by.
