    I would love people's opinions, feedback and ideas for improvements on my new site: Magic Whisk Dot Com

    I search for recently updated content via Food blogs and then display a snippet of their feed.

    Green Rep added for thoughtful responses :)

    Thanks!

    I love the header, it's very nice but you should do something with the background of the left hand side adsense ads, they're not looking really cool, maybe get a backgroud color at the ads same as that maroon and it'll make them integrate better,
    thanks for reading

    Good looking site and having valuable content.I read some of them and it impressed me.Sure i will forward this site to my friends who are working as chef.But the advertisement on the left side doesn't looks fair.It is too long and think the background color doesn't suite for it.Moreover there are empty spaces on both side of advertisement,it will look fine if you resize the advertisement box.Thanks.

    The left column looks hollow without content .
    The height of homepage is too long .

    I would suggest:
    1) Add a fav icon
    2) Add a site map
    3) Maybe instead of listing the recipes/comments, you could list them in categories (so in theory helping the viewers to get to the recipes/articles they want - if i made any sense lol)

    Best of luck with the site!

    Kind Regards

    Overall, I like it.

    I would add a search bar for folks to find something specific they might be looking for.

    I see that this is a feedsite. Would it be possible to add a categories section, to collect similar feeds under categories so that readers can choose particular food types to look at? I.E. desserts, entrees, chicken, beef, etc.

    I think I would add an About page, to explain what type of site this is ( a feedsite and not a recipe site in and of itself). Also, to encourage folks to submit their feeds. Basically, an explanations page. You have to lead people by the hand to get them to do what you want. Make it easy for them and they'll do it.

    And you def need a copyright down in the footer.

    Other than that, it's a very nice looking blog! Good colors. Good job!

    P.S. I went back and looked at your meta tags... you might want to add your own keywords and description, if you can, in addition to Feedza's stuff that is already there. Do you have access to page editing?
