play·ground: n. A field or sphere of unrestricted pleasurable activity
Not claiming to be an expert in blogging (can one be that, anyway?) but I'm sure I could teach many bloggers out there about some web usability.
Isn't it a shame when you've got a great content on one side, and a "blog design" on the other side so terrible people have to look away.
I don't care what somebody says, but blue font on black background is not cool, it's just C-R-U-E-L to my eyes, nothing more.
This post has been written mainly out of frustration but I'll make it worthwhile to those who desperately need some guidance.
And if you know about a website, a page or even a small book (it would have to be free) that will benefit these unfortunate newborn bloggers to stop terrorizing people, please post a comment and I'll gladly update this post.
I, for one, often return to one source for usability guidelines over and over again: http://www.useit.com/papers/webwriting/.
Definitely bookmark this one. Better yet, read it :)
P.S. This doesn't apply only to bloggers, sadly...
