    Hi everyone my name is Neil, Graphic designer in Australia. I have been reading the forum for a while and it is nice to meet you all

    I am doing some research for a design blog. "Oh not another one!" you say. Well it won't be, it will not be covering the same rehashed crap on every other design blog. I can't stress this enough.

    I would like to find out what YOU would like to read on a design blog. What would benefit you?

    Here are some of my ideas so far . . .

    • Interviews with real world designers (not design bloggers)
    • Reviews on hardware from a designer's perspective
    • Reviews on games/software from a designer's perspective
    • Design Process of my work and others
    • In-depth articles with good examples
    • A source for upcoming design events/conferences around the world
    • Humour added into articles, e.g. funny captions, comics
    • Design related tutorials e.g. getting a design job to software (video, audio, article)
    • Writing about a topic from a different angle (if beneficial)

    I want quality over quantity, articles that will truly benefit the design community.
    Let me know what you like, what you don't like and any other ideas you were hoping to read.

    Thanks guys

    we like to read blogs if they provide some good information to us i mean to say if blogs are informative people want to read it. dont make blogs for traffic & search engine purpose make it for sharing information.

    Like to get some example codes of latest technologies. Examples, tutorials and specially problem/feature analysis of a technique will be interesting to read.

    I'm a fan of tutorials, especially the ones that post new things regularly. That's always important too. Posting new entries consistently.

    I agree with the posts above. When it comes to blogging, you need to blog to share information. People want to learn and enjoy reading what you are writing. If you write for pure SEO and monetization purposes, your blog will probably fail.

    I'd also go with tutorials and I'd also like to read something like how step-by-step designing looks like. Some people still don't have a clue how it's done
