While I agree it's nice to have visually appealing blogs it's not the most important thing. Content over cover!

I got my background from cutest blog on the block. <br /><br />I think minimilist is good- it's those "too busy" ones that turn me off!Kate E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18027865239228220755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890007815938715673.post-83115630401100046922010-05-05T10:15:56.812-04:002010-05-05T10:15:56.812-04:00I somewhat agree with you.

Generally, I look at the content, if they've enjoyed some of the same books that I have, I'll stick around. <br /><br />I have to admit that my own presentation is something that I'm still working on. Right now my blog is very minimalist. I have been doing this for two months and am still trying to figure out what works. <br /><br />If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve my blog, please let me know.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337919035210017251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890007815938715673.post-57581598784833867772010-05-05T09:29:56.671-04:002010-05-05T09:29:56.671-04:00Great post!

Usually what I look for when I visit a new blog is some common interest. Something that speaks to me and keeps me interested. I love looking at the different formats and styles, and I know what you mean about some blogs just looking boring--I might have even closed a few of those myself. Lately, however, I have been looking at the content, since that is more important to me. Do I like their reviews, do we have similar tastes in books, are the reviews well written, etc... That is what I have been looking for lately.Melissa @ Mel's Books and Infohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115407771547126072noreply@blogger.com
