Week 1A: Template
This is my very first blog post EVER, so here it goes!
After browsing through the available blog templates, I decided to completely customize my blog. I take a lot of pictures, and so I decided to use one of them as my background. This is a picture I took while hiking the trails near my house. I intend to work as a real estate agent at some point, so I thought my future blog template should have some association with the area that I will work in. I think this picture expresses the natural beauty of the area. I especially like the look of the purple flowers scattered on the street. You might need to scroll down to see those.
The font I chose for the blog is called Nobile. I chose it because I thought that it was the most readable font to use for screen reading. It is a sans serif font that looks very clean. I chose Philosopher for my title font. The title is so large there is no question about readability, so I could use a serif font to contrast with the Nobile. I chose a very large font size for the blog text, again, for readability. For the blog text font color, I chose a very dark red. It looked better than using true black.
For the background color behind the text, I used violet to coordinate with the purple flowers. While I was developing my template, I tried several different background colors. I could not find one that I liked as well as the violet. However, I'm not sure the violet looks professional enough. I'm open to suggestions on background color if anyone would like to comment.
Overall, I like the way the blog looks on the computer screen. I don't think the mobile version is as good. I attempted to improve it without much success. I'm hoping that as we all discuss the templates, I will find a way to improve the mobile version.
I'll close for now...
