Of course there are other much nicer ways but if you are reading this then it did the trick this time and makes my point. I once saw a sign outside a public house in the UK that said ‘filthy ale and awful food’ everyone welcome. You just know that at some point you are going to have to go in and find out what its all about and whether the sign is true or just a very clever marketing ploy.

The frame should also be very simple and the eventual ads and links need to naturally blend in the content of the blog enhancing and improving the visitors experience on the site. Web design provides a great advantage of using similar fonts and formats, so only some elements on the page stand out and you should use these features for optimal affect.
