    Hello Everyone!


    I recently launched a social media platform known as Litbloc. Litbloc grabs all things trending, interesting and popular on the web. I would appreciate it so much if I could get some constructive feedback on the design, layout and content.


    Thank you SO much :)

    The site looks interesting I like the UI concept, some things you may could review and do are:

    1. First page, lazy loading the images show the user that there are images being loaded
    2. Some navigation text and link text were to gray to be easily readable.

    Thanks for your feedback! We're working on upgrading our hosting plan so point 1 will be taken care as soon as possible. I will look into making the font color more readable.

    Thanks again!

    You are welcome, maybe also you should take a look at http://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ it might help you with caching, which would increase the loading time of your page.

    It looks really nice, but is slow to load

    I'd suggest that when people click on an image they get the full size image with the little icons on top rather than having to click "view".

    Is it good to "flare" something, a bit close to flaming perhaps?

    I agree with the others, finding a solution to the images problem should be your priority.
