I "officially" launched my personal travel blog today, and would love some feedback on it. I'm overall generally happy with the theme, header and layout. However, I believe the right sidebar needs a brush up and some of the text fonts/colours could be changed. Would love to hear some feedback! Vagaben.com For those who feel destined, a comment or two will be highly appreciated as well! Cheers Ben
It looks like a nice site. A good wordpress theme, I love the header I can't decide if the grey background color is fitting. Best of luck with your site.
I love the Stand by me video and the whole traveling music video concept. You just need more content but nice site here. Thanks Mark http://pcblogger.net
It's nice and with added content will be nicer. I don't like the bg color tough. And you should ad some widgets on the sidebar to fill the space. The theme is made with artisteer?
Cool cartoon image of yourself, like the theme, site and your stories. Now all you need is travel more and write about it! so we have more to read.
Thanks for the good feedback guys! I know it's not much content, but I'm working on it as we speak I'm also going to add some widgets during the next few days. Any suggestions? I'm adding a Most Popular, but I don't really feel it's necessary yet, hehe.
I visited your site and I started imagining myself traveling around the world.. its one of those things in life( you know what they say, you only have 1 chance to live...).. Its blogs like these that really make youre time worth reading sometimes.... anyway before I get carried away... The first thing I noticed is that you have a border around the images.. Id get rid of those... set border to none... its just me.. and someone already mentioned the grey background... other than that..its good.
I think it looks great and it's a great idea. Travel blogs can be very interesting. Most people can't afford to travel around, or don't have the spare time to do so. so the live vicariously through others can be very enjoyable.
Hey looks like a great start to a new travel blog, I will add the RSS feed. I have been traveling for over two years now, currently nesting in Bulgaria. I will contact you about exchanging links. I am not too if I am allowed to leave my link here being a new member.
I just looked into your blog, and overall is good, but you can get better designs with your wp blog. There are so many free premium themes in internet and you should categorized your post. regrads,
Well, if you change themes you might as well pay the money and get Thesis from DYIthemes, it is the best framework of a wordpress theme. I guess it depends on your goals. But I think what you have is fine, blogs always evolve. You should also put a contact page on your blog and a link page.
Investigate professional graphics people too - that always helps. A good logo or icon can go a long way.
Thanks again for the replies guys. Think I will leave the main design as it is for now, but work on the right menu. I'm currently out travelling and have to focus on adding content Will get back to you when I start working on the design again!
