Writing a blog is different than writing on a paper, to be honest, when you are writing on a paper you basiclly do not care the font size, the spacing, the font you are writing with, but writing online, you do need to take all of these into account, and a lot more than that.
According to Roger Parker, designing the blog includes a lot of elements, for example, the line spacing, font size, font color, sizing, background color, white space, adding hyperlinks, to avoid typefaces, keeping readers informed and so on. Frankly I could keep typing all day to tell you how hard is writing the blog.
Rather than writing on a plain paper, the blogger, or the blog designer actually have to think a lot more, say which color will the reader read comfortable, what element will make the reader feel the blog is worth to read, what size of the font I should use and the reader will feel comfortable. It involves a lot of thinking and designing.
A successful blog not only has the best information, also the best layout to attract the reader, designing a blog is fun, but for me it is still a lot to learn
