I tried both the link in the text of your post and the link in your signature. Both pages returned a page not found message.

That is odd - I just tried them both and they took me right to my homepage. Anyone else having this problem??

Thanks!

Hi F.I.T.

Nice blog and topic. I liked your design. It is easy to read.
What I honestly don't like that much is the thoughts and quotes #123 thing. It is a bit difficult to follow them. I understand they are quotes, but I would like these posts to be simpler to identify them, and to know what they are about from the beginning.

I hope that makes sense for you.
Good job.

Issac Ben,

I really appreciate the feedback. I actually agree with you! Looks like a good project for this weekend - to rethink the titles and possibly change them.

Thanks again.

I like the site, laid out nicely and everything seems to work. My only input would be that if you're interested in better search engine optimization, you should get your article titles into the actual page title. All your titles are showing as "Inspirational Thoughts and Quotes #xx".

Yes... Changing titles also helps for SEO.

A lot of manual work to do, but great benefits.

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't thought of that as I went through and changed the titles. Much appreciated!

Ok Layout
Good Look
Decent Interface
Good content (and lots of it)

Not sure I like the recent posts scrolling thing... I just look at it and see scrolling text but can't actually see anything which I want to click...

I would suggest blog titles which describe a little more about the article - as they are at the minute they seem a little blunt and with a list of short questions like that it just looks confusing... the user cannot QUICKLY look for what they want.

Edit:

Also, no offence, but the credentials you've wrote about yourself on the about page are weak. I'm talking about what some of your readers might think. There is most likely something more potent you can include - like your success story or a story about how you developed.

Stevie P's story is good because he's earning a bucket load of cash from what he teaches, and he's incredibly happy, and he's doing what he loves, and this and that.... what do you have?

Pop over to my site and give me a quick critique if you will Link below.

Simple and clean. I like it. Great job! Lots of content I can see someone finding one blog by search and stopping to read more and more of it.
