    Hi everyone I am new to the blog world as I recently started my blog a few months ago. I decided to check this site out and read what others have to say and what topics people are interested in and currently discussing.

    Please check out my blog :)

    You should get a VPS hosting for your awesome blog. This because the loading speed is slow. This cause, my appetite drops and I have to leave it immediately.

    that's a great start to a blog!
    the content is great! relatable and thoughtful. good job on that :)

    i agree with reypulga that your menu has too many sections. it's certainly something that you can work towards after you have lots of followers. but it's much easier to get people initially interested in a new blog when it caters to a more specific niche. maybe you could focus your blog on only one of those categories at first and slowly integrate the other topics as you develop a following.

    Thank you for you honest feedback. I am working on changing a few things.

    I go through HostGator and I use a WordPress theme and some browsers view the site differently. I did make a recent change so it should come up faster. This does dependon what browser you are viewing in .

    I did make a slight change to the blog. Let me know if it runs faster. I know in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla the time can vary on how fast the blog comes up. I will be changing the them in about a month or so. Thank you for the feedback.

    You shouldn't need to spring for VPS hosting just for a blog. I would contact HostGator, though. The load time sucks for me in both IE and Chrome.

    I don't know about others but it is opening up perfectly on my end. Otherwise navigation is bit messed up you should adjust your website width. Good luck

    hello,

    first of all, you got wonderful contents.

    Now I'll be blunt, I dont know if you already change something but i observe your blog is too slow in my side.

    One thing that I observe that contributes to this laggard is that you have a lot big photos and videos and a very long
    home.

    Try to implement the read more in your home in that sense
    photos and multimedia will be just inside your article post.
    And your home will not become very long. And limit the number
    of articles display in your home.

    Another point is that your ads is not aligned within the border, its a mess in the eyes.

    I changed the look of my site with a different layout. Hopefully the speed is faster. I checked it in IE and Chrome.

    Thank you for the honest feedback. I changed the layout of the site, so it does look better now and should be running faster. Thank you for looking at my site.

    You need a professional logo. You don't need a VPS at all, unless you have lots of visitors per day, your site load okay on my browser.

    I actually am getting about 100 visits a day. I think that is good considering my site is still in the beginning stages. Thank you for looking at my site though.

    100 visits in not much at all, you don't need a VPS now, for VPS you need 10k visitors daily(but depends on bandwidth usage and other factors), you can buy VPS but is just waste of money, so your shared hosting should keep your site online without problems.
