Hi everyone. I'm asking you to take a look at http://techgeeks-online.com/ and give me some feedback so I can continue to improve it. One note: I know it uses the default phpbb theme but I don't think there's anything better I could use on phpbb. I'll be getting vBulletin 4 for the website soon. If you have a suggestion for a nicer phpbb theme until I can upgrade I would really appreciate it. Another note: Google is displaying over 22,000 indexed pages; I think that's because of my analytics. I use Piwik and Google had started to index the pages so I recently disallowed it in the robots.txt so Google doesn't get several thousand new pages to crawl every day. Thanks for reviewing! I'm open to all criticism.
I didn't think submitting my articles to directories would be a good idea since then my site cold be flagged for duplicate content.
Design is nice and simple, but if I were a reader who was interested in viewing the content of it, then I would almost want the design more 'slick' and reflective on the technology topic that you have for your site. I got reading an article in Spanish with the translator you have at the bottom and I think it's funny that it uses words in English when it doesn't know how to translate it (btw the French one didn't work). It's nice that you have the Forum as well.
Thanks for the review. The French doesn't work yet because I use a Wordpress plugin which will only translate from Google every 5 minutes and it takes a while to get all the pages.
Here is my reviews 1. Overall layout and color combination is ok. I would recommend you to change the dark orange color at the logo (Geeks). It doesn't match with overall theme, plus it hurt eyes. I would also recommend you to put some symbol in logo instead of just plain text as logo. 2. Right sidebar has a lot of blank space. You should utilize this space more and not just a TAG CLOUD at top.
Nice blog . It's simple . good design.The logo is simple.you can make it two colors instead of one. Good luck.
