Just last week I upgraded the theme on my blog to a custom theme by Colleen from Mystical Twilight. Colleen did a wonderful job, but now I am tinkering with things (I know - I know - you are not supposed to mess with perfection). The blog is WordPress with Colleen's custom theme. The blog is the front-end to a good deal of stock market data (you can get to it through the stock ticker cloud in the upper left). I have a lot of plans for new views of the data, but wanted a good user-friendly theme first. I think we have that, but wanted to hear opinions for improvements. So, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, any SEO input would be interesting. DeepMarket Thanks!!
Site is a tad plan, but the biggest thing that caught my eye was a big jumble. It was hard for me to read the text at the left under "Popular Stocks", especially with the different font sizes.
as i said over there. the text box is way below everything else with a big white space above it. can't find the "stock cloud" that you mentioned.
I pushed Colleen towards plain. I needed something more functional - but different than the default WP theme. The "Popular Stocks" is a tag cloud - but instead of tags, it is a cloud of stock symbols. You are the second person to mention it in a negative manner, so I need to think about that. No one likes my symbol cloud?
I got your comment over at the site - thanks! The "stock cloud" is in the left column with the title "Popular Stocks". I am not sure about the "text box" you describe. Is that on the front page or on one of the inner pages?
