Is My Blog Usable?!?!

Sadly, according to the the Usability Test this blog is not as usable as I hoped. The good thing is it's my first time blogging and now I know the areas which I need to improve, so I can have a usable blog in no time!!!

My lack of images, videos, and clickable links definitely contribute to my failing grade in the images department. Until now, I never actually thought to add pictures or videos to my blog posts, but I know I should because they can visualize and add to your ideas tremendously. And about the links...I tried posting one but it ended up being broken so I should probably work on that.

Is it scanable? I would say yes. I don't have that many long entries, but for the ones that are I feel like I divided them in an appropriate way so that it is still scannable.


I think the most trouble I have is with design. I still haven't found a template that I love, so I keep switching between some. But I think the fonts and colors compliment the template and don't create "noise." If anything, there isn't enough "noise" because nothing seems to pop. I definitely think I need a more engaging title, but hopefully that will just create itself in time. I'm also lacking a tag line and about an section. Although I don't think it looks sloppy or disorganized, I think that the appearance of my blog does give off an amateur feel...the truth of the matter is I am an amateur blogger. But there are definitely things I can do to professionalize it.

Overall, I really liked this exercise. I feel like I zeroed in on the main weaknesses of this blog and can now improve in those areas.
