First off, i hope you dont mind but i added the more tag in the middle so that the first post isnt all on the home page (i try and split posts after a few paragraphs for usability and seo reasons) :) i also made the references to your site and Matt Coddington's clickable - i've got no problem authors referring to other blogs in their posts and if they do you might as well add a link to them so that readers can easily click them (well thats what i think!) you have made some very good points about my design. i have been changing and tweaking the design since i launched. in 2 or 3 days time the banner at the top will be gone and will be replaced with a new logo and new mascot...ooohhh fancy eh!!! haha your right about the google ads at the very top. i figured they would convert better there - those type of google ads all look like they are trying to integrate more into a site. i hope that no one thinks im trying to con them with the placement there...if readers do have an issue with that theyll be moved elsewhere right away. I'm not sure about the banner ads on the columns as yet...im still testing the waters with the ads as the site is still new-ish. with regards to the colors - i personally like the red. i know i know!!! i dont know why but i like it - infact, if i had to look back at the websites ive ran in the last 7 years you'll find an unhealty amount of red coloured websites....oh god i need help!!! haha the one thing i dont like currently is the black columns. i wanna keep the red scheme but i wanna change the black colour. ive been working on so many articles for when im travelling that i havent had a chance but hopefully i will change it soon. black is just too hard to read regardless of the links being white and yellow. with regards to the comments, im not 100% sure what you mean if im honest. i thought i spaced out the comments ok. it is too far right though...i need to check why its like that and fix it. Avatars - i posted about bumpzee yesterday...both are there because i want to test bumpzee out and see how i feel about it. im a big fan of mybloglog...i like seeing who is browsing my blog and who is reading other bloggers....but i do admit it can slow down a page a lot. i just dont know if its so slow that it will put people off or annoy them. seo - most of the tags are actually H2 or H3 tags. the size is controlled from my stylesheet anyways so i could just style titles with css - ie. not use an H tag. Will that make a difference to search engine results? I really enjoyed the post and i appreciate your views on the blog design. Im gonna take them on board and try and improve the design - the column colors are definately going to change for a start :) very good post SP.
