    So I've had the site a while but, I'd really like a review on it.
    I've recently considered changing the design but apart from the staff of the site no one else voted for the theme design, so it's staying as is for now, which I like anyway.

    But yeah, I'd like a review on the site, for navigation, style and ad placement (recently added a new ad placement so :confused:).

    The site is http://sonybrands.com
    :)

    Feels to me like those images take up more space than they need to... have you considered running your text along side them? I personally would also have my categories before tags on the side menu. Other than that, nice site.

    You absolutely have a great site. I like your header. It's eye catching. And I think the pictures on your site is also great. Good looking pictures should always be high quality ones - and I don't think it loads too long - unlike Aulus. I would have made one recommendation though. Most websites' side menu (or in wordpress blogs called widgets) are on the right side of the website/computer screen. In fact, people are so used to it, it's almost as if it messes up their browsing.
    But overall you have a nice website.

    I used to have a right sidebar, with Adsense in but, was recently advised not to, as many people don't see it anyway. But I've added it back. Then re-read what you said. And I see what you're saying but, I disagree. In the wordpress admin, the navigation options are on the left and on vbulletin, when changing user options etc, in the user cp, all of the navigation is in the left not the right. So, I beg to differ on that, most sites I use, have the navigation on the left, I can't think of a single site which has it on the right as it happens.

    Also I thought I had the categories before tags, musta switched when I was trying new themes and re-arranging stuff.
    I'd like to have a smaller header but, the theme I use, it allows it but, I can't get it as good if I change it :(.

    Also, personally preference but, I prefer the pics before or in the middle of the article, rather than the text along side but, I guess that's personal preference. Really appreciative of the comments though :), keep em coming :p.

    Everyone likes different things :) I didn't think the site took to long to load, just that the images are a bit big for my liking, but if thats what you prefer then there you go. The site does look good though.

    Initial thought - the header looks like something from 1998. The rest looks pretty decent.

    I don't like the header and I think that needs work but everything else is okay.

    The header is not that bad as people say but it could get better; you should read some photoshop tutorials to educate yourself.
