Can someone please take a look at my web site and give me a comment, not so much on the post, but the layout, concept, etc.

The address is mrselfdevelopment.com

Looks nice and clean to me. Works in Firefox and IE. Good domain name.

Do the bricks mean something?

MrSelfDevelopment · 04-11-2009, 03:12 PM

Thanks for taking a look!!!....the bricks don't really mean anything....I just thought they looked cool

I also took a look at your blog, looks nice...!

Any thoughts on the concept, I wasn't sure if my first article was somewhat offensive, since no one responded to my request for feedback....maybe I chose a bad one to post first...?

It looks pretty nice,

I watched it with FF,
I would have change the Ask a ??? to Ask a Question,
I know it's only me,
but for someone who is coming from programming experience it doesn't look good :-))
Beside that, it's really inviting...

PM me for a way to monetize it,

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback.....!!!

I agee with you that "Ask a Question" is better...it was my first choice... but I couldn't get it to fit on my little tab (and I didn't know how to change it).....so I came up with "Ask a ???," .... good observation...if I figure out how to change it, I will....

I also checked out your site....is it for members only?

Nice layout i likey!

mysticmadness · 04-11-2009, 06:04 PM

honestly, put more data, more widgets. Once the post is over nothing atracts you to navigate more. Show best question, most commented answer etc. I understand your blog is new but just few pointers when it starts to attract more traffic.

AttractIt · 04-11-2009, 07:50 PM

Maybe I can help you with that,
which WP version and theme are you using?

It is not for members only, but there are some very interesting options here,
I'll pm you a link for more details, maybe you can offer it for your subscribers,

MrSelfDevelopment · 04-11-2009, 08:48 PM

Thanks guys....I will certainly add more widgets...I'm using WP 2.7.1....also bookmarked your sites....

David Cain · 04-12-2009, 05:36 AM

I agree, add more widgets, particularly a blogroll. Get a little community of bloggers aware of your site. Get rid of the calendar.

And I would also say change Ask a ??? to something else. It doesn't look good. Question marks remind people of computer errors and long, ugly URLs.

But I do like the theme. Nice.

MrSelfDevelopment · 04-12-2009, 03:37 PM

Thanks David.....I changed the question marks.....it does look better....I will also add more widgets and remove the calendar.....
