Blog Design: My Favorite Things

We’re all about bloggy-themed giveaways today! I’ve already kicked off a pass to Bloggy Boot Camp Las Vegas and a seat in MomComm’s Content Brew class today (links to those below if you missed it).

One of the other aspects of blogging that I get totally jazzed about is blog design.

I truly believe that a good design can make all the difference for a blogger – particularly if that blogger wants to work with brands. A good design draws readers in, eliminates distractions and reflects the personality of the blogger. I could spend hours gazing over beautiful blog designs.

I remember being a newbie blogger and wanting so badly to have a well-designed blog…and just not being sure I could justify the cost. I can tell you I’ve gotten every bit of my investment in a designer back and then some. But money is tight for everybody, and I want to help you along on that front.

I want you to have a great blog design. Or maybe you need a custom Twitter background or business cards. Or you finally want to make the jump from Blogger to WordPress. Whatever your situation, this giveaway is for you!

The lovely Kayleen from Booyah’s Momma Digital Art and Design is offering up a $100 credit toward any of her design services to one lucky KludgyMom reader.

Design by Booyah's Momma

Kayleen’s a blogger as well as a designer, so she has a pretty great bead on what it is that we bloggers want. In fact, many of my friends’ designs were done by Kayleen. I like that she has a clean, uncluttered aesthetic and what she designs always has a sense of approachability. I never feel intimidated visiting any of the blogs she’s designed.

Use Rafflecopter to easily enter the giveaway. Your required entry is to leave a comment in Rafflecopter listing what colors you’d use in your dream blog design! All the other entries are optional. I encourage you to like me and Booyah’s Momma on Facebook and Twitter. This giveaway will run from today through 12:01 a.m. on May 15.

I’m also planning some more big stuff for the fall, so I encourage you to sign up for my new email newsletter. It’s another way to enter the giveaway, too!
