As I said before I prefer going to everyone’s blogs instead of reading the RSS, therefore I use bookmarks. I like going to the blogs themselves because it brings me into the bloggers “world”. This personal feel is something I try to give to my readers too. That is why I have changed elements of my blog to give it my own personal style.

If you are using the default wordpress layout then your blog does not have any style at all and users might find it boring. One of the easiest things you can do is change the CSS. You can change the font and colors of the page. Something simple that gives the blog some uniqueness compared to all the other blogs using the default wordpress layout.

If you want to get another layout wordpress.net has a huge list of free layouts. A lot of these layouts have a picture at the top of them. To give your site some style you can edit that picture or use a completely different one. On my previous theme I used a different picture and added some text to the picture. These things can be easily done.

If you look at my layout you may know what it is. I am using the MistyLook 3.2 wordpress layout. If you look at it compared to my site you can see that it is much different. I first expanded the page to make it wider, then added a second column on the right to make it a 3 column layout. I also changed the text colors and font via the CSS to give my page a really unique look. Finally I changed the top picture to a picture of 2 of my favorite cars. All of this gives my blog a look all its own.

I know when I’m looking around at blogs I usually return to the ones that are unique. Making your blog unique is really not a hard thing to do and in my opinion is something you should do to make your blog stand out amongst the rest.
