I think one of the biggest mistakes a webmaster can make is to have wonderful content but a less than appealing header on his site. The first impression is got by what stands out, and before a visitor starts to read through the text he needs to be attracted to the site.

Hi,

Very good points you covered, As I am a usability & Interface Designer, its very useful to make 1st impression will be SIMPLE AS MUCH POSSIBLE, but it should not be actually.

Edwin,
In theory, I agree, but too many spammers abuse it now.

If you truly enjoyed an article on any blog, I would really recommend adding a line that somehow shows that you actually did read the article.

Anyone can paste “Good post, well done” or whatever into every comment form they see.

e.g. On this post, if they just changed that to “Good post. Headlines can be hard to write, but I agree they’re really important.” then I would know they had actually read it (Or scanned it!) so their comment would mean so much more.

I do not totally agree with that. I think it’s good to say it when somebody wrote a good article. I think it stimulates them to write more then if there weren’t those comments at all. I think it’s a good thing to give reguarly a compliment.

JustChris,
That’s true. I’ve been seeing more and more of the useless “Good post, thanks” type comments all over my blog.

Sometimes you can see that a person is sincere, but a lot of the time, they’re just promoting their blog.

I delete those comments here, but it still means that anyone subscribed to updates by email gets an annoying email.
