Better late then never! I wrote up my opinions today. This was a great topic to discuss for me because I’m in the middle of redesigning my website. There are such great opinions and ideas flowing around.

I’ve just left this comment on the post by Geniaus:

For some reason I have never taken much notice of the Nav Bar at the top of Blogger’s pages. A few moments ago I made it transparent (which looks nicer) and I tested the Search box there. It seems to search my blog very nicely – in which case I only need to add a search box in the sidebar if I hide the Nav Bar or if I want to customise the search to include other Web sites. (Please correct me if I’m wrong about this.)

On the bling topic this pertinent comment from Tamura Jones was added to my blog post:

The only thing a blog really needs is great content. Some info pages (About, Copyright, Contact, perhaps a FAQ) are nice. Most widgets and plug-ins only distract from the content. AddThis and ShareThis pop-ups are particularly annoying.
Good content doesn’t need any bling.
