Who would have that thought that blogging would still be a thing in 2020?
While there is room to debate about the validity and value of starting a blog so late in the game, there is no denying that blogging is still a fantastic way to grow your brand and attract customers to your business.
I have personally used my own blog to build my web design business, propelling RapidWebLaunch into its most profitable year yet in 2018. And even further growth in 2019.
That being said, there is no denying that blogging is hard work. It has also never been more competitive.
So, in order to stand out from the competition, your blog design needs be fantastic.
And I’m not just talking about attractive videos, professional photo shoots and pretty little custom graphics. Your blog design needs to be effective.
Clear calls to action, enticing copy, a wonderful user experience and ultra-fast loading speeds are the name of the blogging game these days.

This page is so interesting. Not only due to the quality of content, but also the interesting services that the listed-blogs are offering. I am not sure if I want to focus on the dominant and primary content which is about blogging, its design, and its promotion, or if I want to start learning about the services of the samples blogs who are listed!
