Chicago Small Business and Money Making Blog I understand that it is a typical blog as in look wise but I wanted to wait a little and have at least some content before I add it for you all to you review. My main question is what can be improved? How is my placement of widgets? Should I add or remove anything? Thank you in advance.
It's nice that there aren't ads plastered all over - the advertising seems to be more subtle. The logo seems to have uneven writing - 'let me' looks lower than 'Report.com' which really distracted me before I'd seen the rest of the page. And the freebies section just loads blank. I do like the colour scheme and layout though.
The one thing I noticed first off was the logo. It looks jagged. There are some VERY good logo designers here in the forums that could probably create one for you for a good low price.
littlefish: Thanks very much for catching the "freebies" section glitch. I actually have a folder on my site with the same name and a blank index.htm file that's why this happened. I will fix it ASAP. gatorgreg2004: I agree. I am very graphically challenged and this was the best I could have done and even this crappy one took many hours from me. I will get someone to fix it really soon.
hey man.. you might wanna edit your posts on your blog so that on the index page, only the synopsis of the post will be shown to the readers, that way they will have to click for the post to read the entire thing. this will address the "too much empty space" on both sides AND they will stay longer.. =)
Took forever to load. Calendar is useless. Design is nice. Add more recent viewers to the widget, 2 looks funny (May also want to change that to MyBlogLog).
