I am a student at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida and I’m at a point in my field (Digital Design) in which I’ll take whatever advice I can get.

Thanks for your post, by the way. I look forward to your emails and often take inspiration and ideas from them!

Here’s something I noticed while crafting a RT to this post: Taiyab’s link to his Twitter account is a background image on a LI that looks like text (which made it difficult for me to copy/paste and include it in my tweet). Text styled using CSS to achieve the same look/effect would be much more powerful and also provide search engines with some useful content — this method doesn’t even use an ALT or TITLE attribute which also creates an accessibility issue.

Having said that, I think when you are ‘blogging as a business’ it’s important to keep in mind that the design aesthetic is really only one of many aspects you need to consider. Yeah, it’s great if the blog looks good, but you also need to focus on providing solid well-written content, SEO, SEM, coding best-practices, etc…

Rafiq, any chance you will be having a contest to win a copy of Adobe CS 5 anytime in the near future? If so, count me in! Just a thought 😉
