    Hey Jerod!

    Choosing the right design for your blog site is so important. This is a topic I also talk a lot about to my audience. I always say this; your blog’s design can make or break your entire blogging business. It’s true.

    You have to choose the right theme and customize it in a way that it will help you accomplish your blogging goals. Every single detail matters. From the way your logo looks to the colors you use. Everything really matters!

    Thank you for sharing your tips on this topic, Jerod!

    Best regards! 😀
