  • I’d be really grateful if anyone could take a look
    and give me some feedback about my blog. i have no idea
    what I’m doing. I’m more or less winging it.
    feedback on how to improve visitors would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

    The blog is called The Pen.

    I agree that there seems to be a ton of text, but even with that still intact you just need to work on typography. Not everything can be capitalized, or the same size/color. I would just suggest making these slight changes, and maybe to restructure your categories/posts a little bit so they’re easier to find.

    I love the drop down menus along the top. How did you do that?

    in the theme i’m using (WP Soul theme) a page shows up in the top bar. each page which is parented to a page shows up as part of a drop down menu…i think. i make sure the first category is a page and different cats are also pages. cats within a certain category are posts which don’t show in the menu.

    i’m told that lots of pages aren’t good but i’ve not had a problem as such. i did remove the admin section once but that left the right hand side bare.

    as of now i’m trying to populate the site with a few images

    i won’t have ads in the blog because it’s not there to make money.

    i messed about with the code to get them into a position i liked but i doubt i could redo it lol.

    just went through your blog, nice and classic logo 🙂

    here’s a few things you can do to improve your blog futher:

    1) Use friendly url – to do that, just log into your wp admin and navigate to the permalink option in the settings. there, choose any friendly link type, %postname% being my favorite,

    2) You can use a better theme, this one is too simple, but depends on your choice,

    3) try using feedburner for your feeds,

    4) use read more tags, showing the full post on the homepage slows loading time and it can also create duplicate content,

    over all, good content, best of luck with your blog 🙂

    thanks for the feed back directorysieve. i’ll see if i can do what you suggest tomorrow. i’m not too wise when it comes to anything outside english so i’ll keep the theme for now.

    @billy,

    Thank you for the information. The drop down menu looks very professional, regardless…

    I have two blogs and I don’t want ads either. I’m not in it for the money.
