The important thing is the number of your visitors and ranking of your blog in Google search depends on your blog design. The question is how? The answer is when you do too much. When you surf the net, you may notice that some blogs take a lot of time to load. 


One of the reasons can be blog design. So what you should do? Just don't make your blog a garbage truck. Your blog should look simple and professional. It should be comfortable to read posts. As an example, you should not use a red background behind black post fonts. You should use a whitish background for that. 


You can use a blogger theme to design your blog. Those themes will not create these kinds of problems. But, if you want you may use Theme from outside, But you should be careful.


To design your blog in a unique way, click on "Theme" from the left sidebar of your blog's dashboard.
