By more companies adopt the blogs, we beginning to see what works and what does not work from a design perspective. As an gesture of Jakob Nielsen's article on the topic, here is something I would often find problem.
Bad headlines. They're frustrating. Some bloggers like to get creative... but creativity can transform search into machine keyword opportunities. The of importance thing is that readers have a glance at of what the column is about. Links. Readers like to know where links take them and most of us rely on the standing bar, but sometimes that doesn't help. Some experts say to use "clack here" to help those who are newer to the Web and others say that's inequitable, inequitable, inequitable. It just depends on the satisfied. When linking, try to peck the best language that accord confer readers an form of what to wait for. Calendars as the only way to cruise a blog and unachievable to light upon records or older entries are big problems. I almost always go to search into when I want to light upon postings no longer on the abode boy-servant. Unfortunately, some blogs don't have search into.
That's why I put "archive" links in my sidebar in both meryl's notes and meryl's notes features. As my website goes through redesign, I'm fabrication sure the records are accessible especially in the features portion. I found some old entries from 2001 that are still fit today. Bloggers must be normal. No bathroom jokes here, please. :) When a blog looks demitted for a month... your formal reception is gone. They'll take you off their supply with nourishment reader and blogroll. If you chart not to do it again or take a drawn out sabbatical... adapt to shrink more than again when you get back. Keep the protuberance in spirit even if your the seat of the brain honcho. Always blog with a protuberance in spirit.
Will your protuberance (current and time to come) be offended by your posting? Not only do nation get fired for their blogs, but also they could take away from job offers. It wouldn't wonder me if managers are Googling applicants while going through the meeting progress. Junky URLs. Nielsen says having a typepad.com or blogspot.com equates to having a yahoo.com or aol.com email consign. Some of the bigwigs use Blogspot or Typepad URLs. Guess what? I never remember their URLs. I have to rely on Google. So this makes faculty of perception, BUT I wouldn't christen it unprofessional. profession blogging has many benefits and problems. Companies set the foot carefully when entering this new universe. It's judicious to have policies on the approbation progress and what can and can't be said. Like anything else in a profession, blogs need to be evaluated to fix whether or not they fit the profession' protoplast.
