I fixed the read full article part. That was something I forgot to address earlier, thanks for reminding me. As for the content, I am a passionate writer and much of the site's focus is to serve as a collection, or portfolio, of my past writings covering all sorts of topics. There is not really a specific niche at this time, although in the future I do plan on using it as a blog, and then a specific niche. I haven't decided on what I will cover at that point though, and right now I am just focusing on getting the portfolio uploaded, which is a very long process.
Thanks for all the thoughts, all of the suggestions have been great and I have implemented a load a changes based on them. I really appreciate it
What do you mean more careful? The resizing of the pics is tricky...since if the excerpts are shorter, the pic will then drop down too far and cover areas that it shouldn't, which looks tacky. The pics in the actual articles are bigger, however.
The overall outlook of the site is appealing, but for it to succeed like people have said focus on your niche and come up with quality content to make it go forward.Otherwise the internet is a big whole mean world.
gagandeep, as mentioned, for now it is mostly a portfolio of past work. At some point in the future when I have finished uploading my portfolio, which is a slow and painful process, I will choose a niche to blog on, most likely in the entertainment or humor field.
Template is nice, smooth and simple finish everything looks like it is working and fine. If i had one pick with it i would say it was slightly too dark however thats just because i think lighter airy coloured sites look fresher. Will.
Will, Thanks. Yeah, the light vs dark thing is a lot of preference. Personally I think the darker themes are easier on the eyes
I like the feel of the layout. Not sure what Niche your trying to focus on. Too broad may cause you to lose readers over time. Or, maybe breakout with multiple sites if you truly have and eclectic personality. Good luck! I just put up a wordpress theme, niche: Money. Completely unoriginal but it's so compelling I thought I would try it. I have so far learned about affiliates and have signed up for 4 already. I even got a commission Junction account of which I completely don't know what to do with. trustmyblog.com
Cyberquest, since it is being used as a portfolio first, I am upload a lot of my past work for that. It is taking a while. Once I have done that I will then focus on a niche. And I'm not sure what the last part of your message is about.
Oh, In the last part of my message I was just thinking that your trying to make money like everyone else. So I brought up my latest website. I definitely know how hard it is to develop content. It's so easy to get lazy.
Haha, make money? Not yet, I don't even have an ad on the web site. And developing content isn't a problem. I just have so much to upload that its pointless to write anything until everything's uploaded, since everything I write would just get buried
I like the mellow dark colors, but i did not see any articles right away. I had to scroll down to find one???? Maybe my browser isnt working, or is that the way it is designed?
