    Hey guys,
    this is my new site, motorcycle related, self hosted wordpress.
    The template is a free wp, all content is handwritten and it´s on this domain since 20 June´07.
    I´d like to hear what you think of it, if you think it is a crap, just say it!
    Input´s needed to improve.

    Thanks

    ohh, it´s not monetized and it wont be for several weeks, at least.

    Just visited your site. couple of suggestions:

    1. There is not enough white space. the paragraphs are lumped together making it very difficult to read.

    2. the font size is too small.

    Other than that it looks good. very nice job.

    On a CRT monitor the grey was very hard to read against the light blue background, on a LCD it was fine, and I agree with SteveTaylor in #7 too.

    Thanks guys,
    I´ll consider your suggestions.

    "On a CRT monitor the grey was very hard to read against the light blue background, on a LCD it was fine, and I agree with SteveTaylor in #7 too."

    hmmm... never thought about that, i´m used to LCDs.

    if you have more, keep them coming!!
    Thanks to all.

    When you mentioned in your first post that the site is about bikes, I was getting myself ready to see lots of pictures of bikes, bikes of all sorts. But I opened and there were none! :eek: I think this is something you need to improve. It will drastically change the whole look and feel of your site and help in engaging your users more. Hope this helps :)

    Thanks rosiee007, it really helps!
    I need to improve and maybe add a gallery, what do you think?

    But i´m also concerned about image copyrights, so i need to work that same point; if you have some tips on this, i´d apprciate them much.
    Thanks again!

    site is nice, but i'd suggest never put too lengthy text on the first page it's not very much attractive! few pics would have been better.

    yes, from the footer:
    "Copyright © Sportbikes Addiction. All rights reserved.
    Theme made free by : web directory and online shopping
    Website design by: AskGraphics"

    it´s a free ready to use theme, browse the "getting more themes, section", see them all, so many nice themes...


    about the lenghty texts, i do agree with you celebs101, but i wasn´t able to use the summary text feature, i still don´t know why...this is my firts try to put a site up from nothing, altough i´m finding WP very intuitive and asking a lot of questions, sometimes there are pieces that dont seem to fit.
