Hello. I’ve been wondering about the usefulness of a cloud of tags. Some blogs have it and others do not. My impression is that those words/tagsdo not add value to the visitor. If I’m looking for an article that contains a particular word I would use the search tool on the blog site
Are there any good reasons to have or not have a tag/word cloud on your blog?

[...] You’ve heard me say this before: design without content is useless, but content without design is dumb. [...]

good blog must have a good design isn’t it?
good design need good quality of picture to build a good template of blog
it will make our blog slowly to open in first time, and as we know, google now rank a blog or website by its speed.
how to make a good design but not decrease a speed of our blog or website?

Pat – your graphics always look terrific, do you pull these off of graphic sites yourself, do you edit your own? Or do you outsource graphics design (thinking mainly of the graphics that appear in your posts).

As a graphic designer I definetly agree that content without design is not a good idea. Visuals make a strong first impression in every market (tv, movies, web) so it is always best to make sure your business appeal image is up to par.

Yeah…this may be one of my central problems.

I made over 500 videos on youtube, talking about various topics. I think the content was good, but I never thought about design (editing, graphics, etc) and (thus far) I am not popular.

Coincidence? Probably not.

Thanks for your wishes Pat! We are working hard on our new project. Actually we are developing with IamaSource a new platform based on the philosophy of crowdsourcing. For this reason we are gathering ourselves designers from around the world asking them to realize our logo (now) and many other projects (in the near future). A huge community is rapidly developing, also because we will rewards the best logo with a 2500€ prize… not bad! I’ll certainly keep you updated on IamaSource project!

yes, design and content is important although it seems the search engines only care about backlinks now

I really like your post. Everyone is talking about how important content is but overlooks the importance of design. Three thumbs up for this post. There should be balance in everything.
