    Just set up this site on Wordpress after it was on a website that used HTML/CSS etc.

    So what do you think to it?
    Anything that could be improved on it?
    Do the colours look ok, bearing in mind I tried to make the colours match the club colours of Kaka's team?

    Anyway let me know what ya think, the site is http://kakathegreat.com/

    Cheers

    How is it made for adsense?
    Theres three ads on the homepage and lots of useful information, the site is kept up to date daily. Sorry but I don't agree about your comment about it been MFA, i've seen far worse sites!!!

    Cheers for your comments though :)

    Hello,

    You should make a logo, then you should make sure the blog entries title (such as: "Posted in Uncategorized by admin on December 20th, 2007") match with the ad box below. At the moment the ad box is to the left side while the title is on the right side. What about making it on the same side? Furthermore the text is squeezed closed up to each picture. You should make a frame, or something which keep the text at a small distance. I don't see a good reason to bold the word "Kaka" every time it appears. You have a lot of ads, maybe remove a few? The bar on right side has red boxes with white text, this doesn't look good. Last, it's an banner box at the very last linked to e-soccer.com. I would put that inside the frame or to the right bar to make it look more professional.

    Good luck with your site :)

    In general, I like the design and layout of the site. I do agree that the red title bars on the right don't really match the rest of the colors - maybe use blue from his shorts (darkest) or a green. You could also add hspace to the images,so the text isn't right up against them. Otherwise, cheers on the site!

    techrn, how do I get the hspace code to work?
    Do I have to add it into the CSS File or into each post I make?

    It's part of the image tag in html:
    <img src="image_name.jpg" width="100" height="100" hspace="4">
    You can increase or decrease the number where it says "4" to add or remove space on the left and right of the image.

    Thanks, I'm going to have a go at making a few changes to the site.
    I tried adding the hspace code into the image html but it doesn't want to move away from the image :(
    I was planning to keep the header, but add 'Kaka' in nice writing and just make it slightly bigger, would that look better?
    I might have a look at changing the red bars, but have kind of got used to them being there, also trying to align the green bar on the posts in line with the content, having a few problems with it, so will get someone who knows what their doing to have a look for me :)

    Any more suggestions/comments?

    Looking Nice -
    My Reviews:

    Blogroll Links font size is small - Increase it !

    Ads placement is ok

    Opening fine in Firefox and I.E 6.2

    Place the search Box at some other place as it doesn't suit on the top right header.

    Loading time is ok

    If you will use some hover effects for the Links then it will look awesome.

    Rest of the Things are fine.

    Best of Luck!

    Thanks for the review microbrain, some good points, especially about the seach box, will try and move it somewhere new. Are the links small in both firefox and IE, they seem fine in FF, but don't have IE.
    To get hover effects on the links, do I have to get new links made or can I just add some coding in?

    Cheers :)

    Nice design and layout.

    However, it needs a new header, also get rid off the search box.

    Good luck!
