Setting up good layout of your blog is the thing which new bloggers don’t think and focus much in the start. They get enough challenges in the start but it should be managed and settled in the start. As age of your website or blog increases it should be more professional and kept on getting better for readers and search engines.
A good layout means the layout which is properly designed and managed using all possible resources and options in the theme. Some premium themes have outstanding theme management options like ad placement, footer message, logo and favicon setup options and many other options.
Premium theme is must for any blog which starts to become a successful blog and blogger works on it to make it successful. If you think to make a blog and make it professionally successful, you need to think about professionalism in blogging and make a proper and efficient start, which obviously can’t be possible without a premium theme.

Key things to remember about Blog’s Layout
- Theme and Design
Blog’s theme is the thing which is like a man’s dressing, If you need to impress someone, you try to wear sophisticated dress. Sophisticated dress does not mean that you wear a good looking dress and still keep those clothes on, if you are feeling uncomfortable.
Design and theme of the blog is like a structure of any building, which needs to solid and strong to hold the building and to make strong against the challenges. So theme and design of the blog make reputation of any blog.
Upper part of the theme
Upper part of the theme is probably the most important part of the theme. It should not be heavy and dramatic because web browser shows header (Upper part) of your blog first obviously and if it takes time when you open the blog it means that there is some problem in the header (Upper part) of your theme. If you see this consistently then work on it.
Header of your theme must be loaded instantly, if you and your reader is facing some problem on the header loading then search engine bots will also be noticing this problem and it can cause you big time when they will decrease your ranking in their search index.
Middle Part of the theme
Middle part of your theme is normally called body of the blog. It should be set like having some recently posted articles and posts on the front page under header. This part should clearly shows the appropriate sidebar option. Sidebar is an important part of the body which contains your posts, social media sharing tools, Subscription options and advertisement. Sidebar should be set to provide full assistance to the readers and it should also help blog owner to monetize the blog. Announcements and offers should not be annoying. It should be loaded within no time so that reader and visitor does not get frustrated while visiting your blog.
Lower part of the theme
Lower part of your blog is not actually the main and focused part of your blog. But still it needs to be managed well. You can have your additional things which are not placed on the sidebar; you can place those things on the footer. Blogger can write his introduction on the footer of the blog so that it comes to every page and article on the blog. Just like our bloggingmatters owner Hassaan did this here on bloggingmatters. So Blogger’s intro, different affiliated icons, buttons, tags and social media buttons can be placed on the footer.
Conclusion
Making the things right is helpful in the blogging. Sometimes small things are time consuming and unpleasant in the blog development and managing, but professional bloggers and WP beginners have to do such things under blog’s optimization.
