I looks like it has potential, however, it is a little too soon to make any major judgments about the site. Keep adding CONTENT!
The color scheme is definitely easy on the eyes! I'd like to see some sparkly stuff though, you know? Glitter, glitz... stuff that makes me think Hollywood, if that makes sense? What sort of direction are you planning to take the site in? News or reviews or what? It looks good for a start, for sure.
Hire a designer to do design job. The website doesn`t comes with nothing unique ( i`m talking about the design part ). Concentrate more on design part and make it unique !
I think the blog could benefit from maybe more 'personality'. I'm not suggesting that you, yourself don't have personality but every publication (newspaper, magazine, even tv shows) has an 'angle' or core concept they are going for. A perspective, really. Maybe you want to focus on gossip about celebrities or perhaps you want to defend them? A motto helps with this and lets visitors to your blog know what they can expect to see when they arrive. Something like "Preserving America's National Treasure: Celebrities" or "The Goods on H-Wood" yanno? Something like that and then you've got a tone you can use in your reporting. Purely "objective" p ) views are available all over and that's standard news, but if you color it with your own interests, passions, etc then you've got yourself a genuine niche and the more you become associated with that perspective you've chosen, the more popularity you'd deserve. Another thing would be to release more content daily. Say, 3-5 scheduled postings and more if you get a scoop. Making some friends in LA couldn't hurt, either. If you do that, I could see Hollywoodcentral.us becoming its own hotspot.
Excellent, I wish you the best! PS - Another idea I thought of in case you might be interested, as far as a potential angle.. You're in NYC, right? What about an East Coast perspective on Hollywood? Just a thought
