Have you ever asked yourself, why you have a blog for over a year now, working hard on content creation yet no one visits, no one subscribes and no one comments, while some other blog with perhaps less interesting content gets more exposure and recognition. Main reason is often not the content, but rather the presentation and design.

Professional bloggers always make sure they use a very pleasant and convenient interface. It’s really essential, if you want to win returning visitors and readers, not only not to shower them with various affiliate banners that take up more space but also use WordPress template with pleasant colours scheme. CopyBlogger.com is probably one of the best examples — it’s clean, neat, pleasant for the eyes and the adverts don’t jump right in one’s face.

Apart from that, professional bloggers are organized. They either update their blog once a day, 3 times a day or 2 times a week, but it’s always in a well planned schedule. You don’t have to be online every day, you can write posts and edit the post stamp for a future date so that the post will come online tomorrow or next week, however, it’s important to let the readers know that there is an organized updates schedule and they can return at certain times and find news.

This means having a crappy and irritating layout, as well as unorganized blog updates routine can result in loss of readers, regardless how good your content is and that is a proven fact!

Even though I know it’s essential to update WordPress as soon as a newer version is available, I still somehow missed the past update. Nothing happened after all, only this noon when I decided to tweak the structure of Adsense I also took a look at the footer where a strange bit of code was added. I have no clue what it is, some server command embedded in an iFrame with a link to some website. I was curious, and copied the link to the browsers window… FireFix froze for about half a minute after which my Nod32 informed me of a Trojan. Thankfully no harm for the computer, but I am guessing the blog was hacked for God knows how long now, linking to an infected site and I don’t know what else if could have done.. Upgraded now, cleaned the footer and looks like it’s running fine.

So, if you are on outdated version, upgrade asap!
