You guys always have the best tips ever 🙂 Hope I didn’t commit any sins in my sidebar. Off to read now!
thanks for the post. nice and great work………..
I added the 3rd set of social media icons because all the blog tippers said to, but do u really need them at the top of the page, at the bottom of the post, and a floating set?
My blog is pretty naked right now but that isn’t good either.
You should definitely not keep a long blogroll in the sidebar. There is a good chance other important items in the sidebar will not get seen.
Great post topic! I have been on blogs where you cannot see the forest for the trees, everywhere you look re is a crowd of things grabbing your attention. My sidebar is getting cwded too, must do something about that…
This is actually my problem right now! Very timely post for me!
