You’re a designer dude, DESIGN THYSELF!

BY Editweapon @ April 10, 2008

For almost exactly 22 days 8 hours 47 minutes and 8 seconds, I’ve been pissed off at myself. Why? My blog design sucks. The Neoclassical theme I’m using looks nice and pretty. But just what in the hell am I trying to do here????????????

No. Actually that’s the wrong question.

The right question is: What do I want you the user to do here?

More specifically, what "conversion" action do I want you to take. Currently, I have NO conversion beacons because I have a dozen of them. It’s obvious to me that it is completely non-obvious what I want you to do .

It took me 20 minutes to try and write that paragraph, so let’s see if I can say this better on YouTube.

My first YouTube video (that doesn’t include a guitar, microphone, and 3 supporting band members)

Ahh…well my first video was exquisitely shite. But it feels good to take the first step.

So What Am I Hoping You’ll Do?

Honestly, I want you to think I’m wicked funny and subscribe to my RSS feed so that maybe one day you’ll hire me to edit (redesign) some software for you.

But at this point, why would you?

Never trust a skinny chef. -Anonymous

I need to prove that I’m a fat chef. Over the next 7 days, I’m going to unleash theEditweapon all over my own site. So why not subscribe and watch what happens?

UPDATE: I just posted an eLance for a Wordpress theme designer. Let’s see how flat the earth is.

(Honestly, I do obsess over this .)
