The document provides 5 tips for making blogs look gorgeous: 1) Start with a great website theme to automatically make content look amazing and have most of the design work done. 2) Use the right headings like H1, H2, H3 to structure blog posts and main/sub points based on outlines learned in English class. 3) Create a featured image at the top of blog posts for social media that is easy to make. 4) Use images throughout longer posts, especially after H2 headings, to break up blocks of text but avoid overdoing it. 5) Embrace minimalism by keeping visuals, sentences, paragraphs short and removing clutter like animations for a cleaner look
