We have included some of the suggestions here and how you can easily make your own blog much more usable to your end users using Blogware:
No Author Photo makes it impersonal – this same “about me” webpage can also easily include pictures
Classic Hits are Buried inside the blog – By creating a favorites list inside your blog, you can easily point your visitors to classic articles that you have written.
The Calendar is the Only Navigation – by taking advantage of Blogware’s nested categories you can easily allow users to navigate to areas of your blog that will be of interest to them. Add a "category tree" to your blog to ensure that users can find what they are looking for. Consider adding a "search" function as well!
Mixing Topics will dilute your users and their dedication – again, by using your categories, and potentially controlling access to certain categories you can make your blog seem specific to one topic.
Having a Domain Name Owned by a Weblog Service seems less serious- By working with your retailer, you can easily have your own personalized Domain name to work with your blog. This will present you as the serious blogger that you are!
More suggestions are at the article noted above. Easy changes to your blog will make it much more usable for your visitors! Good luck!
