Great video Daren! I have learned some things which I will use in my future blogging. I agree with you that before running your blog, you should ask your friends, what’s their first impressions about it, only it will be very hard to get a real answer, because your friends you already know. I can only suggest then, that you ask your friends to they ask their friends.
Anyway thanks for the video, I think I will use some of this tips.

Great post! You have excellent insight and got me thinking.

Questino for Darren:

Did you use Wordpress or another blog service when Ben redesigned Problogger? Please visit Platomedia.com and tell me what you think.

FYI…if you like video posts check out Mogulus — gives you everything you need to launch your own 24/7 television station on the web for free (just need camcorder and high-speed internet).

Nice post. Got me thinking. I had a Leaderboard unit stuck up above my mean header graphic. After listing to your post and hitting my blog I realized how crappy it was – and really wasn’t a great performing unit. Definitely now worth sacrificing that first impressions. Needless to say the leaderboard’s history.

Thanks. and nice redesign

Darren, Best video post yet. I really think that first appearance is everything in life and in blogging. Having an attractive blog that reels people in from the moment they first see it, makes all the difference.

Whoa, Darren, you clean up good!

But at first I thought I’d slipped in a typo and landed at the wrong blog… which just underlines the importance of deciding on the image you want yourself & your blog to project, earlier rather than later, right? Branding, again…

Applying ideas like first impressions– something so intrinsic to human interaction– to blogs is a wonderful concept. You touch on a lot of ideas that were mentioned in a really great book by Malcolm Gladwell, Blink. Judging from this post, I bet you’d love it.
