Virtual Blog Dissection
Does your blog look a little plain? Is it hard to tell your blog from the thousands of other blogs that look just like yours? Ever wondered what your blog could look like with a few changes to the layout and design? Well wonder no more!
Get A FREE Virtual Blog Dissection?
I am giving away 5 FREE Virtual Blog Dissections. If you would like to get a FREE virtual blog dissection (or want to nominate another blog) leave a comment on this post (make sure to include your name and blog URL.)
Once there are at least 10 entries I’ll run a poll and the readers of Passionate Blogger (that would be you) will get to vote to select the top 5.
Oh I almost forgot, you are probably wondering what a virtual blog dissection is. Well it just happens that I have just finished a blog dissection of Big Mike’s new blog. Check it out…
What Is A Virtual Blog Dissection?
My brother Big Mike just started a new blog he calls Plaidiphilia (cool name) and it looks a little plain. For a blog about the love of plaid, where is all the plaid? This will not stand and will probably anger the plaid gods, so there is only one thing to do, Plaidiphilia needs a virtual blog dissection.

What do you think?
Now that is Plaidlicious!
The best thing about a virtual blog dissection is that I didn’t really change his blog at all. See for yourself, Plaidiphilia. All I did was take a screenshot of his blog and change the look of the screenshot with my image editing software.
Big Mike can compare the two screenshots, decide what he likes, and then he can make the changes he wants to make to his blog. He could even sweet talk me and I might be able to work his blog redesign into my busy schedule (hehe.)
Update: Big Mike liked the virtual blog dissection so much he let me do the real thing to his blog. Here is the all new Plaidiphilia.

I’m glad you like it El Presidente! I might have to put the podcast of our interview up soon.

That sounds great. I like the comparison of before and after of that site. Very good design and improvement. Hope to get one like that for my blog.

I love the plaid design. This is sure to be a hit. Your skills have certainly helped me out. Anyone would be lucky to have you check out their site.

Put my blog on your list. http://patriciasingleton.blogspot.com .
I know there are still lots of things that I need to tackle to get my blog looking better. I am a slow learner on the technical stuff. I am going to try something different for the Stumble button tonight when I have more time. I might have figured out what to do.

Bossy needs a dissection like it’s nobody’s business. And can you shave a few inches from her rear while you’re at it?
August 26th, 2007 at 11:00 amWild Bill
Enteries so far:
• Ramkarthik @ Blogging Tune
• Jerad Kaliher @ Bust A Change
• Patricia @ Spiritual Journey Of A Lightworker
• BOSSY @ i am bossy
Glad I could help Priscilla Palmer!
BOSSY, send me a pic of your rear and I’ll see what I can do with it (lol)

I would love to get some help with my blog, it’s definitely very plain. This is my first real attempt at blogging.

I can’t wait to vote to give someone their free blog dissection.

I definitely would appreciate all the advice I can get.. I’ve been struggling to find the right design, but haven’t been able to find the right ‘fit’…
August 27th, 2007 at 1:29 pmLove what you did to Plaidiphilia by the way!!
Carlo Selorio

My blog theme isn’t exactly plain, but it could definitely use some improvement.

Let me just remind all of you that are putting your names on the list….WB is trying to go to D.C. to the Gathering of Eagles 3 I am not sure but you could maybe possibly buy some extra points by making a donation….I’m not saying ‘bribe’ but I am saying it might get his attention.

Wild Bill,
I hope I’m not too late. Fiar directed me to your site. (and I’m grateful for that, lots of great advice here)
I’m in desperate need of some objective advice. I’m so new at this. I would love to get anyone to take a look at my site. I never thought I would be saying anything of this sort but…Please dissect me!
