David and John,

 

Thanks very much for your feedback!

Yeah, I kinda knew about the color issue, mainly because Nancy of FAmilyOnBikes mentioned it a while back… otherwise I'd have never known! I've always wondered why nearly every blog is white with black text, since I personally MUCH prefer the dark schemes, like Everything-everywhere….

 

I was just wondering HOW MUCH of an issue it is. apparently LOTS of people have trouble with dark bck, light text.. ok, it's gotta go.

Thanks!

If you see anything else, let me know.

cheers, Lash

The number one thing you need to take care of is definitely the color. I have to admit, that very often I have trouble actually reading your blog because of the colors. They don't make your blog very legible, and very often I just end up looking at the pictures without actually reading the whole text (and the few times I actually read long interesting posts, I had to copy and paste the content on Word to be able to read it).

 

I like the rest though.

I'll give you more feedback once you've made the jump to WordPress if you want.

  Hi Lash,

  It's always the small things that get you!

  What I saw at on your blog:

  1) Change the color – there is a reason they print books on white paper and black ink.

  2) At the top of your side bar – have subscription for email and news feeds instead of a search engine.

  3) Book page is great!

  4) Have a "follow" me button for faceboo, twitter, stumble upon, linkedin.I

  I've had good response from stumbleupon and I like the quality of people I get connected with on linkedin vs. facebook

  Twitter is a must – I use hootsuite to post on twitter – lets me do all my posts in one sitting if I want.

  That's all that pops into my mind right now.

  Hope they help you.

  Cheers,

  John D. Wilson aka The Big Mozey

Hi all TBC fellows!

I'm finally going to * get off blogger onto Word Press and *redesign my site!

 

Does anyone have some spare moments to look at my current site and give me suggestions, tips, advice, feedback on what I should do to improve my site?

 

All feedback welcome! I wont' be offended!

 

I want to improve the reader experience, draw more followers, attract advertisers and sponsors. What should I do?

 

Thank you!
