When Rebecca and I first started doing Blog Out Loud events, we focused mainly on blogging.

Ok, here's the deal - it is important to have a strong visual impact on your blog. Like your own business, being thoughtful about your blog design (as well as content) shows that you <i>care</i>, simply put. Here are a few tips to get you on your pretty blogging way.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>1 :: Fab Photos</b><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Forget your blurry, uncropped photos and use lovely ones that showcase your thoughts. Bright + strong photos go a LONG way. Case in point - Bakearella. Her photos are INSANE and keeps me coming back to see what news photos and treats she has on her blog.<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><br />2 :: Original Photos</b><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Reblogging and posting is definitely fine but always consider placing your own photos on your blog. I take my camera everywhere with me (see above - yes, that's me at fave spot<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">ino enjoying some wine that I took by accident.) so when I see something cool, interesting, relevant for my blogs, I snap away.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>3 :: Font + Justifying R/L</b><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Be consistent with your font and your font layout. We like to justify the font right/left so it looks like one solid block of copy. And we use the same font each post (arial in this case). These little details add presentation style to your blog.<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><br />4 :: White Space </b><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Keep you blog fresh and clean of clutter. It's fine to have sidebar, footer, etc but try to add in some negative or white space so your posts become the focal point, not all the clutter around it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>5 :: Color Palette</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Consider the tone of your blog and the relevance to your brand. Pick a color palette and stick with it. Again, this adds consistency and style on your blog. </span></div><div face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do you create style on own blog?

We talked and laughed (and ate really good food!) and I regard her as a mutual design lover and new friend. What a neat result of all this blogging stuff! As you go about your day with your business and clients, include blogging and tweeting into the mix. It's worth it! You will create a community, you will join other communities and you will have new and supportive <b>people</b> in your life. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Check back in over the next few weeks for details about Blog Out Loud 6!</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">And enjoy more Red Rock inspiration with <a href="http://lovinglivingsmall.com/">tablescape style at loving. living. small.</a> and <a href="http://sweetlineagency.blogspot.com/">community love at Sweetline</a><a href="http://sweetlineagency.blogspot.com/">, my new online brand project management company</a>. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;">Rebecca</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>loving. living. small.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01543186897235827799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483459852715609401.post-62689491656518654932010-03-30T11:00:00.000-07:002010-04-20T08:05:03.075-07:00Announcing...Sweetline Agency Rebecca's new online brand project management company<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfrvqL6289W0nRrePT2_gy4L02aN5pS9qMPTlaDXg14TN9Zq4sHa-Fhs0Re6NrKDU_wCcrlQLAj91TJrSBK9y0v82MIVjH1o2_irfumY392NtCBIhpMYxGOAjT6p10T_5iZ4_XA097UZiw/s1600/Picture+5.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455303533768191394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfrvqL6289W0nRrePT2_gy4L02aN5pS9qMPTlaDXg14TN9Zq4sHa-Fhs0Re6NrKDU_wCcrlQLAj91TJrSBK9y0v82MIVjH1o2_irfumY392NtCBIhpMYxGOAjT6p10T_5iZ4_XA097UZiw/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 341px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />

<br />
As you know, being a small business owners is incredible but busy! Many small companies haven't been able to really invest in their own online presence since working with clients and managing the day-to-day life of a company is busy and there are simply not enough hours in the day sometimes.<br />
<br />
2010 is definitely the year for you if this is your type of company. It's time to invest in your biggest client - your own brand! That's where I hope to come in. I definitely get it from a brand, time, and creative perspective with a decade-long career in advertising. I can help you in a way that is creative, affordable, accessible and all that good stuff.

Blog Out Loud 5 was a great success!! We had about 75 guests show up for a great panel discussion. This event was unique for us since we had a panel made up of people that shape the blogging experience and people who engage in the blogging experience. The main theme of the night seemed to be how rewarding blogging is to connect to people! It's really is an opportunity to meet like-minded people and feel connected. From there, things happen, doors open and creativity flows! To check out a few moments from the night, head over to <a href="http://twitter.com/blogoutloud">@blogoutloud </a>and read the thread.
