We’re creating an “About the Bees” page so that you can easily see a quick bio on each of our bloggers. Once we have a lot of bloggers, this will really come in handy so you can see where each bloggers is in their parenting journey. Minhee came up with some cute options, and we’d love your help in deciding!
Option 1: All text is in caps. We can have the individual cards be the same color, or mix and match between yellow, gray, and blue.
Option 2: Status fields are lowercase, answers are in caps. Option 3: Status fields are in caps, answers are in lowercase.
Option 4: Form with dropshadows and with or without sticker.
Option 5: Form without dropshadows, age and dates of birth are styled in red like a stamp.
Which one is your favorite? Please feel free to mix and match features!

Option 1 or 2 — easy to read and looks nice

For some reason Option 2 is the easiest for me to read. My eye goes right to the relevant info.

I like option 1, but I don’t like the paper clip. Option 4 withOUT the tape is nice.
I think it’d be fantastic if you could attach a real picture of each of the bloggers. I forget who’s who sometimes.

The clipped picture in option 1 with is really cute but I prefer the word spacing in options 4 and 5.

Option 3, but sentence case for the answers. Also, I’d suggest making the questions a lighter gray, and maybe bold to help them stand out a bit.

Option 4 is my fave!

I like option 4, but I’d love the background color to immediately tell me where a blogger is on her journey. For example, one color for TTC, one color for expecting, and one color for Mom, but not expecting (So after a pregnant blogger has her baby, her card would change colors, but if a Mom gets pregnant again, her color would change to the pregnant color, even though she already has one or more children.)

@ABCmrs: ah interesting. i would think that it should be the color representing their ttc status when they start blogging. that way if a reader wants to go back to the beginning of a blogger’s journey, they know whether they started as a ttc, pregnant or mama blogger.

I like option 3. But I like the idea of having a different color for where the blogger is in his/her journey.

I like option 1. It was the easiest for me to read.

I like the colored background, and the caps/lower case of option 3. But I like the layout of #4, easy to quickly see the bloggers’ info. I agree with mrs. bee, I like the idea of having the color represent where a blogger started their journey.

i like option 3′s look, but i like option 5 the way the print is (with the red stamp)….

Option 1, and I like the idea of color-coded cards too.

Option 2! Option 2! :) these are awesome.

Option 2! So glad this is happening.

Option 1 or 2, though I like 2 a bit better.

I love Option #4 but with the red stamps from Option #5. It’s really easy to read. They remind me of those library book inserts that they put on the inside front cover when we used to check out books at the library. I love it.

I like number 2…I think it’s easier to focus on the information with it in caps. Rotate colors!

I like option one but I think it would look better with tape instead of paper clips.

I really like 1, 2 & 3′s layout. I don’t know if I like the all caps in one, though. So 3 is my fav out of those. As for 4 & 5, I don’t like it as much because of the white background. The color background in 1, 2 & 3 really makes it stand out. If you can combine 3 & 5 that would be great!
Great job, though. Very creative!!
Oh, as for the colored backgrounds, I think you should do a mixture of colors.

Option #3 is my favorite – for me it’s easiest to see the relevant info. Thank you for adding this feature; I loved having this on Weddingbee!

I think option 2 is easiest to read. These are super cute and a great idea! I’ve wondered who was who when I read the posts.
blogger / cantaloupe / 6283 posts
I’ll put in another vote for Option 2. I do like ABC’s idea about color coding for pregnancy status.

#2 is the easiest to read and my favorite design. #4 with sticker is second runner up.

1 or 2, definitely!

I like option 4 with the red stamps like option 5 shows
blogger / cantaloupe / 5107 posts
These are cute. I love white, so I would say option 4.
I also love how its easy to read. I find option 1… having all caps can be harsh on the eyes.

option 2 is easiest to read!
