How to Find Great Blog Designers to Revamp Your Blog
Whether you use
WordPress,
Blogger,
TypePad,
or any other blogging or microblogging application, there are blog
designers who can give your blog a new look. A simple Google search
reveals more results than a person could possible sort through, so how
do you find great blog designers that do quality work that you can
trust? Check out the 5 suggestions below to find great blog designers
to take your blog to the next level in customization and branding.
1. Look in Blog Footers
Take
a trip across the blogosphere. When you find blogs that use designs
you really like, scroll down to the blog's footer. Often bloggers
include a link in their blog footers to the designer's website.
2. Ask Other Bloggers
If you can't find a
link in a blog footer as described in #1 above, then look for the
blogger's contact information and ask that blogger who designed their
blog.
3. Follow Top Designers and Theme Sites on Twitter
Most
of the top blog designers and theme and template sites can be found on
Twitter, and these people follow and communicate other designers.
Follow them and keep track of their Twitter streams. Check out the
people that they interact with on Twitter discussions about blog design
and follow the URL links in their Twitter profiles to visit their
websites. You might just find the perfect designer for you!
4. Check out the About.com Blog Designers Directory
The
About.com Blog Designers Directory
is still growing. You can find listings submitted by blog designers
about their businesses, including links to portfolio samples.
5. Follow Blogroll and Resources Links
Many
blog designers, theme designers, and theme directory sites include a
resources section or a blogroll that provides links to other blog
design-related blogs and sites. Follow these links. Some of them lead
to great designers!
