Blog Reviews

**davidshaw** · 05-27-2008, 06:34 AM

Ok guys, I have another blog for you to review.

It is a blog about Fantasy Football (Soccer) as I am based in UK, It is undergoing a redesign, have played about with some themes, and like this one, have edited it to suit my site abit more.

I want to know what you think is good and bad, and also things that you think could be changed to make it look better.

The content is not going to win any prizes, but the aim of the site is to be more casual, if that makes sense.

Cheers

The blog it's self seems fairly good content wise, though I don't really see how you could ever expand other than if you started your own Fantasy game? The site could definitely do with a proper header with a logo.

Also, on the homepage I am promoted to 'leave my comments' below, but I do not see anywhere to do this on the front of the site. I am, of course, aware that the comments box shows when you click to view the full article - but you may want to include at least a link or something such showing the current number of comments. Others may not realise that you have to click the title of the post to see the comments.

i think that some header images will do to make your blog look interesting, the content is interesting, adding some images on your post will help too!

Great reviews so far. There are a few things that are still needing to be done. I am looking into getting a new logo, hopefully get that done in the coming weeks.

The point about comments is a good one, will add a few extra pointers in that area.

Anything else anyone wants to add?

The blog's design looks good.. I think it's better to add some logo related to football instead of just using a plain text. In this way, the header will be more eye-catchy...

On its content, I find it interesting because of having nice articles. Just add some more images to make the content more expressive...

I like your website but the only thing that looks "ugly" is the text in the header ... try using a different font or just make that typo look more attractive. Cheers

Cheers. Will work on a new logo. I just have some text at the mo.

Will also try and use images in my blog posts!

What are your views on the Adsense? It currently converts very well.

the blog really looks good.
one thing i don't like is the date in each Title Post.

**davidshaw** · 05-29-2008, 09:22 AM

Yeah I am not going to put the date in the titles in future!

Good content and nice design, although I do have some comments that might have been already mentioned above:

-1- The header needs some kind of graphic
-2- The adsense block looks really good and doesn't mess up the blog, good job with that

-3- It seems that some of your posts are full and other are excerpts, what up with that?
-4- Try moving the adsense in the place of the featured video, that might increase the clicks
-5- A simple footer would make the design complete

Overall, great job

Cheers Rajaie.

I am looking into a graphic header.

I have a full 1st post and rest are excerpts.

Footer is also in progress.
