I'm looking for design/layout concerns. I took a chance making the background color dark, but I wanted something different than the usual white. Do the colors and fonts go well together? How's the adsense layout? Like the sidebar? I'd like to hear all opinions whether good or bad! Here's the site. Thanks, gasmonso
I think for the content of your website, the color scheme is very appropriate Also, you picked a very good AdSense layout. My only suggestion would be to get rid of one of the rectangles and add a vertical unit in your navigation bar on the left
You did very well with wordpress and your design is fine. You could make that header more complex and replace current. You could take it as my first sugestion !
ultradesign, an ideas for a more complex header design? Were you thinking of adding pictures and stuff? Thanks, gasmonso
gasmonso, this is an excellent blog! You've got quite a few comments, too. As I was reading those, I noticed you are an extremely good host. You're not insulting them or just offering silly, trite responses, you're encouraging actual interactivity. Have you thought of adding forums? It seems like you could get people involved and maybe find source material that way, as well. Seems like Amazon & Ebay could have some ad programs that might appeal to fans of your sight: pararnormal books, videos, etc. I think you've got a solid, marketable concept that'll go quite far, especially if you eventually take on some additional columnists (sort of a 'psychic Crossfire') and get the skeptics and believers to have some debate - opening the minds of both, hopefully. Best wishes to you, for sure!
Thanks BlacklightLion, I try to take pride in my blogs. I have thought about forums, but I tend to shy away from them as they usually grow out of control and in a million different directions. I like to focus the discussions on a few topics that I control and keep the level of quality high. It's not easy and it's rather time consuming, but I feel I get quality users and quality contributions. I have an acount with amazon, but I want to hold off on ads from them till I grow my site more. I don't want to start pushing product on my readers too soon... that can be annoying But I definately will in the future! Thanks for your comments! gasmonso
Awesome and yeah you're smart to be careful about the forums. They do have a way of becoming rather monstrous quite quickly. I was really impressed with all those comments, though. Clearly you're onto a topic that people feel strongly about. I can understand your reasoning on the ads, also. I'm just one of those weird people who likes advertising and commercials. lol
