    Alright, so i want to start a blog. To start with it's focussed on all internet users, but i have included the color 'pink' in my blog design. Wondering if it will be too girly and boys will not come to read my blog :(
    Need some views on this :)
    Thanks

    Pink looks good on a website about flower.

    There are many diffrent shades of pink so this is a tough call. There is a dusty rose almost sun down/ dusk color which isnt too girly there is also coral color and thats a form of pink. I think as long as the pink is not over powering and its not barbie/baby doll pink you should be fine. And in reality you should make it any color you want because i dont think people come to blogs for their colors. Im sure if your blog is about somthing intresting you will have people come to it reguardless of its color.

    Yup i agreee pink is kinda girly, but then again it all depends on the theme of your blog and wot your offering, If itz to do with tech stuff then using pink is kinda odd lol, so pick your colors according to wot you offer and wot your blog is abt :p

    most pinks are for girls, and the soft pink that you chose is very girly

    well think, if it may not attract as many men, it will attract more girls, try change it to a color that will apeal to both, like a orange, or red

    I have a pink monochrome site (pink, black, grey, white) and I get LOTS of male visitors
    I think it has more to do with what ELSE is going on in the site too
    if you have girly fonts, girly clip-art and javascript trails with little hearts - then yes, the boys will run :D

    I'm using pink in this blog-like site, you tell me if it's girlie. I think it is not:

    A Blog Without Words


    Pink is generally associated with girls, but one can desing a girly site with blues (or any other color) also.

    girls probably like pink, but its not wheter they like it or not. its about how to use the colour pink.
    I have seen sites that use pink, but very rare

    Pink is sexy, but depends on the shade though.. it might look girlish if it's too pink..

    I wouldn't recommend red.. apparently it evokes aggression (its a psychological thing) a maroon is okay though, just not bright red.

    BTW: pink does not attract girls to sites :p
