    Well ive worked with html and php templates for a long time on my niche sites
    Always liked the way wordpress works so decided to switch everything over to blogs

    I know its very plain
    Any suggestions?

    You have good content, which is important. Unfortunately, your ads overpower that content. :-( You need to find a balance between ad and content placement, because it's on the verge of being obtrusive right now.

    Is there any way to reduce the size or eliminate some advertisements?

    Greece travel guide website Review:


    Observations & Suggestions:

    1) Theme is nice & simple , Header is good.
    2) Need to remove the footer or change it cause its seems that something is missing is not fitting in.
    3) Need to reduce the blank spot by limiting the Posts per page. Cause as the posts go down on the right side bars are Blank , either fiill it with some vertical banners.
    4) Add a few blogrolls gives positive impression and chance to network.
    5) You are missing a nice little plugin , comment luv this will give the visitors more interest to leave comments.
    6) Start a poll to make the blog more interactive.
    7) Use Pictures , Photographs effectively in your blog Posts for reference you can see daren rowse blog " problogger.com" and learn.

    Anyways I could go on ... but all the the esence of helping you improve.

    Hope this helps to improve the blogs .... and if it does " don't forget to add the Rep + :rolleyes:


    Anyone requiring similar help , I am just a msg away :cool:



    Happy Blogging .....................


    Regards,

    As always: without proper content it's a little bit hard to judge but the overall impression is not bad!

    site has great content as mentioned, interested here as well. wouldn't mind seeing a couple more pictures, I know you have several already, besides reading about Greece I love looking at the pictures of Greece, since I can't go anytime soon.

    go2rome link did not work for me, and the greece site has very good content but the header banner/logo is horrible, just pay someone on ebay $20 to design you a custom one that looks somewhat professional like the rest of the site.
