Website Review and Suggestions

**nyunyu** · 04-01-2008, 07:19 PM

Hi guys, just a while ago I went to upgrade my proxy template blog to the latest version of wordpress 2.5. I also did a revamp by changing the theme to a new theme which is more clean.

Also added a free web directory, review on this would be much much appreciated.

Comments, suggestions, critics are welcomed.

Thank you.

Nice site. One suggestion, however: people use all kinds of browsers. Trying to get people to use Firefox only to view your site might turn off some people who are loyal to their browser of choice.

Although it says there to get FF, the site is 100% viewable in IE. Not sure about opera and others though.
The text just an ads.. :P

Thanks for the comments.

**Actually, I think that is the best placement of ads on my site. Most people keep saying the same thing as you said.

Looks like it does catch visitors eyes.

I would fully endorse Dave's comments above and in fact I would go further.
Consider this, how would you feel if you were told that you must use a particular graphics program just because the person telling you to prefers that program.
In saying the above I am in no way endorsing or otherwise IE.

Thanks for your input.
I've changed the text to be more appropriate.

How about now?

Good job.

Thank you for your kind words.
So, does this mean I'm good to go?

**aldor** · 04-03-2008, 02:22 PM

Yes that looks more friendly.
One thing that bugs me is the need to scroll vertically through loads of links to find what I want. Try to avoid this if you can, remember the attention span of site visitors is very short.
Otherwise, good.
