What will you do when your users finish reading a journal? Maybe they will give you a comment, or read another journal, or click on an ad, or contact you, vote or share it with a community website, subscribe to your blog, or simply leave your blog ...
As bloggers and web owners, of course we don't want people to leave immediately after browsing/reading articles. It's not good, is it? How can we stop this? So, the gap between the contents of the log and the comments section happens to be the perfect place, we can put something here to make it easier for our hardcore visitors and new visitors, such as polling/scoring, sharing a community media site like Digg or fresh fruit, or inviting them to read other blogs.
Here are 48 blog posts at the bottom of the design, perhaps they can give your blog design to provide some good reference. Popular trends include:
- Related log
- RSS Subscription Options
- Community Media icons and components (e.g. Twitter,digg, fresh fruit, etc.)
- Advertising
- Date and time
- Categories, Labels
- Log Author information
Some are minimalist and relatively low-key, and some relatively large and eye-catching! What type do you like?
