Community blogging

Hi syawilim,

Sorry I wasn't able to get to reviewing your site sooner!

This is a neat idea. I like the concept a lot. I think the design could use some work.

First of all, change that Times New Roman to something in a sans serif. Probably verdana (although try others to see which looks best). That will make a dramatic change to the overall look of the site. (I checked it out and Verdana looks good).

I think the top content section should be condensed a lot so that the blog posts rise up above the fold. One idea would be to make the logo smaller and move it to the left side. Then put the google ads in the header area instead of on the right side. That will free up more space for text in the body area. Putting a tagline under the logo might help to explain some of what is in the text bit now. You could also put google ads on the left side under the passwords and stuff. There's lots of space availble there.

I would also like to be able to browse the blogs that are on the site - I gather that each of these bloggers has their own site rather than all being compiled onto the main page. there should be a way to browse the blogs on the site (including what their topic is). I did manage to find a blog by someone named mark. It would be nice if eash blog had a little explaination (2 sentences or less) at the top stating what the topic is.

Overall a good job in setting this up.

i like your site design. especially the header.
it may look better if you make it a two column layout.
then you can shift google ads to the left column

I love your site, I had a click around especially the adsense ads
I hear the google adsense adverts work well mixed in with the content.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm just waiting on a bug to be sorted out that will cause headings to be replaced by flash text, I'm hoping that this will give the site some more character.

I hadn't put a list of bloggers as I am waiting (hoping) for some more people to join up and didn't put across that there weren't a lot of users.
