Ah, It's been awhile since I've heard anyone mention Jakob Nielsen. While many of his rules are important to consider, if everyone followed his findings to the letter, the web would be a very dull place.
Years before I had a food blog I wrote a "Jakob Nielsen's Cheesecake recipe" to express my opinion on his guidelines towards design.
I make fun of him still, and his findings are still based on studying people who've spent less than an hour on the internet, but I've quoted him countless times whenever a client wants to add another main link to a navigation that already has 8 or 9 of them, and his top ten mistakes of web design still need to be hammered into people's heads.
Ok, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen. Cheesecake for web nerds.
It's true that if JN had his way, our blogs would look like plain text. But if you take his info with a grain of salt, I'm sure it'd help with the readability of our blogs.
Here's a link to the top 10 mistakes for everyone's reference.
And here's one specifically for blogs.
