TemplateIt’s the first impression for the visitors; therefore, it is critical to have a nice & simple template which matches the theme of your blog. The main colors should be selected very carefully as well.
Word Verification
Not many people like this because it wastes the readers’ time. But it is personal preference. And it can be used to avoid annoying comments.
Sidebar
A well-organized sidebar will definitely attract the readers’ attention.
Interactivity
The Auto-linky and Chat-box are good examples to entertain and interact with the readers.
Content is King
Without interesting content, it is hard to maintain regular readership. The question is how to make your posts interesting enough to attract your readers. I always find I am lacking in inspiration

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackMany thanks for your first article Sunflower, some good points there, especially about the use of template & sidebar. Bade design can stop people reading your good content.
For inspiration, have you tried StumbleUpon yet? You really should.
I already commented on this on her blog, but I’ll say it again.. I HATE word verification!!! I visit every blog in my links daily and some have more than one post each day. (Imagine that!) Add to that the 40+ blogs I visit for Thursday Thirteens, and then the Friday’s Feasts.. and well you can see that there would be a LOT of word verifying going on. Blah.. I’m just going to submit an article about this later
Please do
I don’t like it - I tolerate the simpler ones, but if the letters are too unintelligible I just give up.
Thank Chris!
