MyBlogLog gets visual boost

Many bloggers know that MyBlogLog is a very useful service when it comes to building communities. It is quite simple. You search for people, you invite them and you start creating a community.

This site, is by far one of the most used sites in blogosphere. It is easy to use, has good features and you get productive using it. The only thing that was missing was a good design. That’s right! In terms of design, MyBlogLog was really down. After acquisition, Yahoo wanted to give its personal design touch to this website, but failed because the design was the same for a long period of time … until now. Yahoo finally made some improvements making this service a more friendly one. The design is not quite finished, or from my point of view, it needs more tweaks. But for now it is enough. Meanwhile MyBlogLog also has to make some improvements to its core because some of the data is not correctly updated.

Regarding the design, the site has the same green approach in the header zone. But this time it is a more pleasant green and also it has a dark gray background in order to emphasize more the active content sections. Major features like feeds, friends or communities have the same design. This is why I think the site still needs some graphic improvements. But now, MyBlogLog looks like a more professional and important service and hopefully the site will gain additional users, features and popularity.

Overall this new look is OK and it goes well with Yahoo style.
