I'm not a designer by any stretch of the imagination. I have a site I build with beautiful photography and a hideous template. So, I've installed wordperss and built a weblog as an adjunct to the main site. With a CMS to handle changes to the layout, I've got time to do the "content" and it's working out a lot better. So ... any thoughts on Seattle's finest? The desert theme for a region that's known for rain? Are the photos too small? Thoughts about 'read more?' Anything else in general...?
Hello Forrest. Good to see another west coast person in the DP population. I'm from Vancouver Island... Nanaimo to be specific! My Thoughts Header I can see where your question comes up about your header... and how it sits with your blog... I think that it should represent Pacific North West Coast in some way... but I also think it should reflect you... and your photography.. I took the liberty of looking at the photos in your other site... and thought that this one would do better... especially if it is in color... Photo Problem I was browsing through your blog.... very intrigued by your writings and photos... but I did find this problem that stuck out... please see image below: Navigation Your navigation could use some work. I mean... all the links work.. but if you could make it easier to understand what is a sub menu of what... things could be simplified... you could use a different color text link for this... that would be my suggestion I would also suggest that you include the 3 main navigation buttons: Home, About and Contact You can add these 3 main buttons to your navigation that is on your left.... and also... include them in your footer.... About Page Who are you? that is what kept coming to mind... I know you must be Forrest.... I had a friend named Forrest that ate a minnow when he was a kid... but I know that isn't you... maybe a write up of yourself would be good... you deserve one! Content Excellent content.... good to get lost into... you could be a story teller with these photos and writings.... Conclusion Very excellent blog. Keep up the work and commitment. I do hope this review assists you. Respectfully. Lhlalyam
