Review - My Article Directory

    I've recently revamped my article directory as the old script I was using is not longer supported and was filled with bugs. Sadly all the thousands of articles submitted previously can't be retrieved.

    So now this new platform is using Wordpress as the cms which is perfect.

    Kindly let me know what functionality I should add and your thoughts on the overall design and navigation of the site. Bear in mind I am trying to keep things simple for a faster loading time.

    My site is here - General Article Directory

    Update:
    * Added Print Article feature
    * Added Small logo at footer


    Cheers!

    Check your left sidebar, your Recent Articles is not proportional with others.
    Better reduce ur recent Articles.

    Brilliant theme! The orange and white works great.
    I must say though, in firefox, the tag box is very squashed and the words are running together. Maybe consider using a tag cloud script. I can't remember what I use at http:// alexworld12.blogspot.com but it looks great.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thank you so much!

    Appreciate the tip and keen observation. Once more articles are added, the tag cloud would be more even. I'll monitor it closely and change the font size if its required.

    Cheers!

    I really like the theme, very easy to navigate, seems to be a lot of good content on there already. However you may want to upgrade the hosting, as it seemed like it loaded a little slow.
