Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
How do you organize your blog in terms of what is in your side bar? Do you have categories and defined sections in your side bar?
Answer:
I don't have any special organization in my side bar. I have things in order of what is most important and what would be most help for anyone who is reading or navigating my page. I like things to be neat and clean. Although I am not putting down anyone who does, I don't like having a lot of graphics or photos flashing all over the page. I think it's too distracting and too much for me. I prefer things to look as professional as possible. Plus I think it makes it easier for me to know where everything is. I have a top bar also, that I hope is not overlooked because it has important tabs like my master review list, the tab for anyone who wants me to do an honest review of their book, and a tab with all my contact information!
Anyone I've ever talked to regarding a blog says to keep it simple, it looks like yours is on the right track!

Thank you! I think simplicity just makes it easier for people to stay invested. If they get too overwhelmed with flashing graphics it may be too much.
DeleteThank you for stopping by! I'll check out yours now!
I'm a neat and clean fan too. It just makes it easier to look at and all the complicated stuff can mess with load times.
ReplyDeleteI agree!! I didn't even think of it messing with load times.

DeleteI completely agree with you. Simple and organized is the best.
ReplyDeleteI do have headers to separate each section of my blog, though.
Thanks for sharing, and Happy Hopping!!
