The blog up for review today is bellasboutique . First of she has a great banner and the over all color theme fits great. She has done a great job with joining blogrings and addding a site counter. i suggest that everyone gets a site counter. here are a few good places for counters… blogpatrol , expertcounter , and sitemeter. WordPress already has built in blog stats. Have a look at this great article all about bellasboutique’s last art-show craft-fair-aftermath . Lastly..notice the 3 column blog style….WARNING this may be a little advanced for the new blogger…but if you have a blog on Blogger this site will help you get that 3 column blog you have always wanted create-three-column-blogger-template
Critique: First: I would add an Etsy mini of your favs. this will display other Etsy artists. On that note do a few more artist features, this can help drive traffic to your blog. when you write about other artists they may write about that article on their blog. Second: Add those labels to your posts, so readers can navigate you blog faster. Third: For a traffic boost…add Blogrush…. Take a look at the placement of my Blogrush widget Here . the placement is key, for readers to notice it!
check out her Etsy shop Here

Thanks for the 3 column info, and I love Bella’s banner. Must fix mine!
Bella’s boutique is a great looking blog, the flickr feature is very nice too.
The three column info is a great tip! I’m going to look into that now. The blog critiques have been great Timothy….everyday I am running back to mine to work on it!!!! Thanks
Great info! I already visit this blog and appreciate the tips you’ve shared.
I’m trying to build my blog and would love some tips too!

I’m going to have to try the three column thing, I like that a lot! I like the way that a blog can be an extension of the etsy store giving people a little more detail into who the artist behind the store is.
As usual…great information. What in your opinion is the benefit of having 3 columns rather than two?
wow! you are going to help so many people with your hard work. you rock. i would love to participate!
Wonderful blog! Lots of great info for new bloggers like me
Bella’s Boutique is, to me, easy on the eyes–not cluttered and hard to read–a big plus!!
Feel free to critique me–I need all the help I can get!
