"So often we view mistakes negatively and let them get us down. We believe they indicate failure and that our otherwise perfect record will be forever marred. No one is perfect; we all make mistakes. They indicate failure only if we fail to learn from them."
I felt like this quote was incredibly comforting. This is my first blog so it was good to know that even the professionals don't view their work as perfect. You shouldn't strive to be perfect in your blog just to please others, because your perfect is someone else's imperfect. Some of us in our class are beginners in the blogging world. We are learning the tricks of the trade as we go. Others have had some experience with this department so the content to which they feel open to write about is of a larger sense. Its hard to start right off the bat putting up information from your feelings for the world to see.
The Onextrapixel site talks about blog bullying. It says that designers and developers are prone to cyber bullying by making their content seem unimportant, and the writers themselves are small and defeated. This is another thing about starting a blog. You have to become callused is some ways to the criticisms that people will through at you.
Another interesting thing I learned from the Smashing Magazine site was the fact about navigation. Whether it be a blog or a website, you want your site to be one that a reader can easily navigate around. You want them to be able to find their way through and read what they want to read. Confusion only causes loss of interest.

A great way to get your reader to feel welcome i
n your site is by the color scheme you choose. The colors your choose for your site say a lot about the goal you are trying to reach. "moody warm tones create atmosphere, vibrant greens underscore freshness, and earthy colors communicate a relaxed, friendly attitude." You don't want your site to be relaxed colors if you are advertising some product or idea that is breaking news! You want it to stick out so that the eye goes right to that spot.All of the articles had great ways to make your blog or website even better and I learned a lot of great tips to put into my work.
