Review my car related site

    Hello everyone,
    When I first started building my classic muscle cars blog I was in doubt if I should rather go on a more cleaner version of design or something more rough, however I ended up with the cleaner view (perhaps my own preference that I like clean designs).

    I would like suggestions and reviews from you guys, I am really considering to go for a more rough and a busy design with the second version, so any suggestions will be very welcome.

    Cheers

    Very clean, nice I would keep it that way. The first aspect I would improve is to place a more powerful header/logo.

    I'm thinking like a header that covers all the width of the page with big text and nice muscle cars. My thinking is muscle cars website needs a muscle header :)

    Hello Bulkish,
    Thanks for that note, indeed perhaps it should have at least the header/logo a bit rougher...just have to come up with an idea of making it rougher but still keeping the same look, and i think it should be done in this version already and not to wait for the new one.

    Thanks for the review, would like to hear more ideas/suggestions.

    Thank you, I shall consider that. Many have advised me to change the header and logo design.

    Thank you, yes I know, the site is still new (its not even indexed yet) so I am still building content for it, have some still on my desktop and other scheduled which I should be publishing soon.

    Hi, thanks. I think the popular posts plugin is slowing down the load...once that part loads everything else loads fine for me..at least that's what I have notice so far.

    Thank you everyone, any more suggestions/tips/reports?

    Hey everyone,
    Terribly sorry that I didn't followed up the thread (life's busy..heck). Thanks for all the suggestions and the kind words.

    I will definitively try to redesign the header and logo part once i get my hands free a bit, way too busy lately...

    Thanks again.

    I definitively will. The site is new, and I am still building content for the site (roughly around 15-20 new articles a month). Planing on expanding it on different angles too in near feature.

    Thanks for the comment, i appreciate it ;)

    The load time is not good enough. The template and design is cool. May be a sweet header can be of worth importance.

    Hey James,
    Indeed i do feel the load time is not good enough, I wonder if its because of the "popular posts" plugin that takes time to get the data...or its something else. I will try to find out whats causing this, if its non of them will have to switch server I guess...

    Thank you for dropping by.

    clean and simple but the name of the site / header doesn't jump out at me - needs to be bigger & more eye catching i think...
