I’m trialling the fish theme for it’s feed features and layout and have already noticed a small increase in people picking up my feeds on Flock, the newly launched social-bookmarking-friendly-browser.
I was put onto this by the 30DC team and have spent the last 2 days optimising it and not have all my favourite feeds at my fingertips, inclusing tools like Twitter, Twhirl, Grease Monkeys and Google Reader in colour.

The theme you use can tell people a lot about you, what type of style (or lack of) that you have and also the way you like to communicate. Some blogs are dark and others are fresh and clean.
Many will argue that the content is what keeps people coming back and to an extent that is true, but you also have to remember that if a site doesn’t look very good then you don’t stand a chance of getting repeat visitors.
I use Alexking.org as my themes browser as this site always has a great list of funky new blog themes. I suggest you check this out and keep the themes evolving.
Blogging Tips
30DC, rss, themes, wordpress
After what seems like an eternity I have decided to give my blog a little attention and gear up for the start of a rather busy summer, kicking off with the Thirty Day Challenge
Much has changed in the technology used for blogging since I took my blog offline (more on that later) and I will be adopting the new Web2.0 tools, social bookmarking and enabling more interaction than you ever thought possible.
At one stage Facebook took over the headlines but now the tables are turning back to blogging, and an emerging tool known as Twitter, with tweets replacing blog entries and enabling pushes to mobile phones.
Using cool tools like summize.com you can keep track of any number of keywords on Twitter…
I’m not going to give too much away at this stage, but if you would like further information head over to Twitter.com and send me a message @getnoticed
The blog will be continually revamped and will link to a number of projects I am working on at present.
Keep in touch and bookmark me, or better still - grab my RSS feed !
