In the third episode of Breaking It Down, I take a look at Dale Day's web presence. Please be sure to leave him some love in the comments for being a good sport! :)
Quick Summary
► Visiting a blog is like visiting a home—you want to make sure yours looks lived in. It's how you stand out from every other house on the block.
► Information is power. Utilize tabs and pages to accommodate readers.
► Posting schedules give expectations and bring more regular readers.
► It's always great to see (and relate to) smiling faces!
This will be an eleven-episode series. If you'd like to read details on the project, please click here. :)

Will come back and watch the whole video. Dale has kept his blog simple. (Unlike mine, which looks like Walt Disney threw up.)
I liked your little summary. And so agree that it's important it look like it's yours. And posting schedules is good.
Congrats on another one. These must take you so much time. I'm hoping to get back and view somemore of the video. You've got such great ideas!
Thanks so very much for taking the time to review this.
These are things I never thought of and definitely will add to make it more welcoming.
Laughing at Alex's comment. You're doing such a great job on these web presence analyses.
Great advice as always. (Love the Star Wars-style scrolling text. LOL)
My favorite thing about Dale's blog is his picture. He and his wife look very friendly.
Loved reading and watching this video. Thanks for sharing this information and advice!
Excellent advice. Must take notes!
Insightful comment about a blog being like a home...it definitely should look lived in:)
A blog should definitely have a personalized feel, even if you have a cleaner, more minimalist design.
Just curious why the video goes on for 23 minutes, when everything after the 9-minute mark is just a black screen? I'm assuming that was some kind of technical error.
LOL I could think of worse vomit scenarios.
Thanks, Natalie! :)
Thank you, Donna! They have definitely taken more time than I expected—which is why I'm so behind on comments—but they're well worth it. :D
You're very welcome, Dale! Just holler if you have any follow-up questions. :)
I laughed, too! He's a nut. :)
Thanks, Lee!
LOL Thank you.
That was my favorite thing, too! :)
You're very welcome! Thank you for stopping by. :)
Thanks, Elizabeth! :D
A technical error, indeed! I'll have to look into that, this weekend...
Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks, Mark! :)
Thanks, I found this to be a very valuable and non-hyped-up perspective on blogging in the "post-blog age."
Thank you, Chris! :)
Oh, I can't wait to look at this… wonderful, Carrie… and good luck with NaNo! You're just above and beyond. I respect you and your writing SO much. <3
Thank you so much, Morgan! I respect you and your writing, too. :D <3
