I have created a blog with a free design that looks better than most paid designs - GoFuckYourself.com

HorseShit · 07-15-2008, 10:38 AM

With a little digging you can find great free themes, just change the header and you're good to go.

yes, you want to see it I know

martinsc · 07-15-2008, 11:08 AM

true...

beta-tester · 07-15-2008, 11:09 AM

i agree... most of today's so called designers are just ripping off default wp themes, add another sidebar and change header. Actually just write some text with crappy fonts and that's it....

fris · 07-15-2008, 11:13 AM

all lies

payd2purv · 07-15-2008, 11:14 AM

You better be leaving that "Made by" tag on the bottom of the theme or your just a no good THIEF and BadDog wants his PS3 back.

Porko · 07-15-2008, 11:15 AM

The header is hideous

Monique Niccole · 07-15-2008, 07:00 PM

It looks pretty good. Personally, I usually like more banner ad space on my blogs.

pornguy · 07-15-2008, 07:01 PM

Um. That sucks ass. Might want to not be cheap, and get something nice made.

travis · 07-15-2008, 07:03 PM

Needs more default Windows fonts commonly used for your mom's gift basket business's perforated business cards.

fris · 07-15-2008, 07:04 PM

my blog has wingdings as the default font

Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE · 07-15-2008, 07:06 PM

i've seen prettier designs on my toilet paper...

Twisted Dave · 07-15-2008, 07:10 PM

Sorry? better than most paid designs?!

Holy crap. It's functional enough but hardly great looking

Kevsh · 07-15-2008, 07:35 PM

Gotta go with the majority here, that is far from special design-wise.

My words

thaifan99 · 07-15-2008, 10:34 PM

not great. keep at it.

starpimps · 07-15-2008, 10:40 PM

design isnt special..my peener can make a better one for me but damn you need more adspace in the sidebars

not a good free theme to mod imo

Beaver Bob · 07-15-2008, 11:18 PM

i like it, its nice and clean.

Darkhorse · 07-15-2008, 11:54 PM

It's not that bad, clean and functional it's all you want really.

ilbb · 07-16-2008, 12:57 AM

I've to agree.

What sells a blog most is the logo IMO. If you have a decent logo that works well with the rest of the blog then you're onto a winner.

Check out some logos I designed at club1985.com. Im no pro but Im happy with the outcomes. Quick, simple and not to bland

Oh and my actual art blog is crappy, it's just a lame free one that I never edited so don't berate me for that, lol.

Also, this fully18.com blog, only 1 update per day is a bit to small a number isn't it? I'd say at least 5 per day is about right.?

Nonsense. You aren't trying to get people to come back to your blog week in week out because they like the pretty design and what you are saying in your posts.

You want them to think the site is ok, but the content you are promoting is hot, then they piss off to your sponsor and sign up.

Klen · 07-16-2008, 03:50 AM

Design?You call that design?

But if you have a shitty looking layout then a lot of people wont bother to look at whats on offer. If someone can't be bothered to spend a few hours making a good looking basic blog then people are going to think that they might not be offering the best content either. Its the same in every business, online or otherwise.

If you're looking to buy a new car and the dealership is run down then no matter what cars are inside you're going to have doubts as to how good they are.

And is "Design?You call that design?" directed at me?

Blogs are basically sales tools as far as I'm concerned, and act like doorway pages. Anything flashy and it detracts from the content. Too default template and there's no surfer trust right off the bat.

There's a happy medium. All I'm saying is I wouldn't be too hung up on how pretty your blog / site is if you're a webmaster touting someone else's wares.

Thats exactly what I was trying to say. Maybe I just put it wrong, lol.

A decent logo and design (Not a £1000 pro designed one) will get more sales than just a text header and a basic layout. As long as you have good enough content of course. Without that it doesn't matter what it looks like

ro8in · 07-16-2008, 04:13 AM

Its maybe more functional then most paid designs, but better looking no way

SeriousConcept · 07-16-2008, 04:17 AM

not great, looks sucks imho.

It's not special at all to be honest.

papill0n · 07-31-2008, 02:53 AM

not too bad, nice and clean but a custom header with a nice logo would go a long way
