Its taken a week of modifications and styling but I have finally switched on the forums on My Blog. Here is a little info on the Existing Blog: * 1000 Unique Visitors Per Day Average. * Site launched in December 2009. * 97 Blog Articles So Far. * 1013 Blog Comments to Date. * The Blog is running Wordpress with many mods. Ok here is some info on the new forums: I have tried to style the forums in the same way as the existing site which I hope I have achieved? I have tried to make the forums: * SEO Friendly * Fast Loading * Easy to Navigate I would love to hear what you think about the whole site, if its good or bad I still want to know about it. Main Site: http://www.chrislowthian.co.uk/ Forums: http://www.chrislowthian.co.uk/forums/ Feel free to register on the forums. You are free to add your site to the "Show Off Your Site" section and also your Signature. I look forward to hearing your comments
The whole site.. The design still not reflects the tech, maybe you can use web 2.0 style so it will be good. The loading is fast, the contents are good,
Basic icon is memorable, easily understandable when indicating no/new posts and locked forums. Forum is named for an individual rather than for topics, which would not please guests like myself. MyBB theme used is bland. Although you prefer not to add any plugins or mods, it simply looks as though you did not make a style investment. Use the Favicon plugin to install individual board icons and do some research on free or premium themes. Content is professional and it would be an experiment to see if you can rely on that alone instead of with style.
Your site looks good; however, you should add a call to action to your meta description. Remember, your meta description is what users normally see in search results. Also, your page title looks great but it can be improved.
