Bad: Beta Blogger for Dummies

It’s perhaps ironic to have a blogging how-to site on here. But, it’d be a sin not to show this atrocity of design. Beta Blogger for Dummies is a convoluted mess of in-your face colors, giant fonts, unstructured navigation, and gaudy icons. What it gains in useful Blogger tips, it loses in the stress of navigating this thing.

One of the best things you could do for your blog is make it easy to navigate. If a blog looks different in every other browser, its formatting isn’t good. It just perplexes me that with a site based on dense information would be concerned with overhauling the design so much.

This is altogether a shame; Beta Blogger for Dummies has some pretty useful tips, some of which I have used on one of my other blogs, 95total. However, there are a plethora of other sites that convey the same message in a much more simplistic, easy-to-navigate way.

Perhaps this blogger should be looking at some how-to sites as well.
