What Makes A Good Blog Template?

Templates share a sort of make or break kind of a relationship with blogs. Bloggers can often be in a dilemma when it comes to choosing the right template for their blogs. What then are the essential characteristics that make a good blog template? Read on and you might find an answer.

1. Clean & Professional Design

A template ought to have a clean and professional design - one that is soothing to the eye. Most bloggers prefer a white background as it provides for easy reading.

2. Fast Page Loads

People are easily irritated when encountered with a slow loading blog. A good blog template is therefore the one which is optimised to load fast. By making your blog load fast you could be potentially improving your bounce rate.

6. Easy Navigation

A good blog template should provide for easy navigation , making it easier for them to find content that is of interest to them.
