This is a redesign of my website:

Screenshot of OP's website

As you can see, its largely a work in progress; I'm trying to do a flat user interface design.

I can tell you now that I am in no way a designer or UI/UX expert. I'm a developer; traditionally useless at design, but giving it my best shot.

You can see on the main content that there are three links, under the title 'Latest blog posts'; I have made them the same shade of red as my header, but I'm not sure that it looks right, is it OK?

  • Should it be more contrasting?

  • Should it be the standard blue?

  • How can I make it obvious that they are click-able links?

All suggestions are welcome.

I'm tempted to grab that domain name just to mess with you. :p But seriously, I agree that there's should be some 'read more' text. –  Johannes Oct 15 '13 at 22:47

Color continuity always helps design.

Using the same color as the header background is a good choice. There's enough contrast to read the links clearly and the color differentiates the links from the standard headers ("Latest blog posts").

You could add an arrow or a bar to emphasize the links more. To me, as they stand, they look like headers only (although I like the cleanness).

You could also hyperlink in your descriptions (repeat the title) so that if someone doesn't see them as links, they can catch the hyperlink.

eg: In Learning Java - Introduction, I decided to...

Dominic's suggestion of 'Read More' is a good one also.

Link are traditionally underlined. If you keep the underline they will really standout as links.

You are aware of the decreasing readability effect of the underlining, right? –  Alph.Dev Oct 18 '13 at 23:38
