http://www.blazed-up.com I've modified my blog a lot over this month and was wondering what you think of it. I'm thinking of making a favicon but I don't really see the need to. Also I'm thinking of removing the google ads all together. Also can you read some of my posts and tell me how I can improve my writing skills. Edit: Please none of those "looks nice or looks like good work" posts
I would place a customized header design on your header. Also, change your URL color for your adsense ad to black for better blending.
I like the theme, but my personal opinion is that you should place your 'Links', 'Categories', and 'Recent Posts' above your Recent Readers. It's just another way to put your content first. As for the Feed placement, perfect, get as many people to sign up as possible.
Definitely need to customize your header image to make your blog more unique. Also, nothing wrone with google ads, but I am not sure I would put them right under the header image. Blending them within the posts is okay, especially if they are related to your blog topics. Also, do you really need the counter at the bottom? They are much better ways to collect stats, and I think viewable counters are definitely "not in" anymore. Otherwise, I think it looks pretty good.
Your blog is a little too messy. Take the adsense code to the side bar. The calendar and recent readers, i think, are superflous. Remove them for the adsense code.
this one is very popular wp theme, i would suggest u to keep something different , probably even change the header image in the current one watever you feel best.
looks nice or looks like good work. hahaaaaha whats that big image is about its useless,better get one good logo image,at the top above your navs.and put link ads just below the header image.
The template is nothing much to shout about, imho there are lots of better free templates out there other than this one you've chosen. I will have gone for something without a big banner image, just TEXT banner will be much better. Clean and easier to read.
To me the content of your website is apealing.Yes, you will have to work on the blue header part. It looks a bit extra.
The bridge and tree graphic is a nice calm scene -- one completely unsuited for a Blog titled "Blazed-Up". Photoshop in a few burn marks on the tree trunks or better yet, add a hip, kewl dude in the background suckin' on a phat doobie. (Of course I'm joking. You should never photoshop burn marks on trees.) One of your posts starts out: "Heroes is definitely the best series this season. If you disagree then you are wrong." It's condescending. And that's okay. But if you're going to go that way you should make it stronger. "Heroes kicks butt this season. It's the best series going and after reading my post if any of you pinheads still disagree feel free to leave your (lame) opinion for everyone to laugh at." It takes a pretty good writer to consistently pull off that kind of theme. You have to be "just mean enough" and funny at the same time. No one would really expect that from "The Artistic Blogger" though, you think? In that light I'd get rid of the "you are wrong" blurb. You don't really expand on that thought further down anyway. That changes your intro para from: "Heroes is definitely the best series this season. If you disagree then you are wrong.I just watched the latest episode (22) “Landslide†and noticed more similarities between Heroes and X-Men besides supernatural powers." to: "I just watched the latest episode “Landslide†(#22) and noticed more similarities between Heroes and X-Men besides supernatural powers." Your second supporting para needs some work: For example when Candice (the one that can change appearances) was giving her speech about being fat and teased which is exactly like Mystique. How about something like this instead: For example take Candice (Heroes) and Mystique (X-Men). Candice was fat and teased -- Mystique was fat and teased. Candice changes shape -- Mystique changes shape. And the similarities between characters and superpowers don't end there. Further on in the post you wrote "Ok, now lets talk about powers." Only prob is the previous two paras already talk about powers. Start your rewrite off with an outline to help keep things consistent. Hope this helps a bit.
