Hey guys! Would appreciate it if you could take a look at my new forum - www.bloggertoblogger.com We have a forum for the main content and a Wordpress install to handle all the reviews and major articles we write. It does need some more members until we can bring all the planned features into action but other than that what do you think? Any suggestion/comments? Thanks! P.S. Feel free to register!
First off I like the domain name. Here's my 2 cents. The logo and header need work. The logo needs some kind of symbol and better font. The smilies linking up just isn't working. Also the borders on the text make the text look like its from the past. The header contains 4 different fonts and 4 different text colors. Pick one or two fonts at most and one or two colors at most. A sleeker professional look needs to be created. Is the skin custom? Not sure but it too could be upgraded and if you have the resources or know how you could really make it work. The main problem is the separation between the header and body. They don't flow well. I would fix that first. Skinny
Thanks for the feedback Skinny! I'll have a play around with the logo, I agree it's not very professional but I thought it would make-do initially although I think you're right and it does need to be spiced up (or rather toned down!) a little. As for the header what would you recommend to improve the integration with the body? And by the way, checked out your website (Blandless), it's really good, will be bookmarking and hopefully I'll get some ideas from the designs you've showcased there.
The header color is fine with what you have currently. But since the colors and text for Blogger to Blogger (plus the smilies and the 'Uniting the Blogsphere') are so different from the background they create a disjoint. If these would be more professional it would smoothen things out. The slogan sounds great though. I like it. Thanks Veej. Skinny
I suggest that you consider combining all the different forums into several until the site takes off. Whenever I see a bunch of forums with only a handful of posts in them I just figure the site is dead and head straight for the back button.
yea... join some forum sections together if you need and once you see the community is growing, slowly seperate themmm... nice design though..
