    Hi everyone,

    As the title says, please give me your feedback about my site : http://widetravelers.com . Changed some parts of it from the original theme and still waiting for the banner.

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks good. I think a new menu would make a huge difference. You can even find some free menu builders online which would work great.

    Most of it looks good. I agree with the above poster that it could use a new menu. I'm also not sure about the brownish-red used for the header... it seems to be an out of place color.

    Color for the header is strong especially with this new graphics card. the menu looks out of place all square and the like. The blog itself looks great. I think you change a little here and there and you got it going.

    You could give the links on the page a color, possibly the red which you used in the header.

    Thanks. Are you referring to the adsense links? I did change that and let's see what this can do.

    Personally, I'd get rid of the "advertise here" banner at the top. The 'Advertise' block in your menu is enough. Also, perhaps a logo or graphic in the header. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

    The layout and design is not bad however, I think you should remove the second banner ad in the left column
    there's a little too many ads on the page.

    i think your ad placement, layout and design as well as the colour. However, you will have a hard time trying to optimize it, try changing the title to target long-tail keywords.....gl

    Yes, I can see what you mean right now. Will work on minimizing the ads at the sidebar.
