I think in order to redesign my blog to be a top blog there would be two main changes, visual and connectivity. If I attempt to become a social media guru of sorts, I would want to showcase how I personally use social media sites for my own company or personae. To do this I would add a “connect with me on Facebook” or “follow me on twitter” button link to the sides of my blog. Adding a RSS feed would also be a good touch because it would give the viewers of the site better insight to the tweets I have been sending. Finally, like Chris Brogan suggests as the “first sale” of creating customer/audience relationships, would be to ask for them to sign up on my blog’s email list.
Secondly, would be of course the visuals. In this age, aesthetically pleasing web design is the first step in convincing a user to stay longer and explore the site. My blog’s wallpaper as of now is a default, which by my own experience, screams that I do not take this seriously when it comes to attaining followers. Adding pictures and a better interface would also help to make people start coming to my blog.
Lastly, I would like for my blog to have a better community section. If I took this blog to the next level, comments and criticisms would be a top priority for me. Even if the community discussions do not pertain to me personally, it would still give the site more content for appeal that I would not have to create myself. Win win.
