Website Review and Suggestions

**4layouts** · 05:23 PM

I recently started up a new webmaster tutorial blog at http://www.thewebmastersplace.com .

It is not my design, so I am not looking for a review on that. What I am looking for is a review on the content/idea of the website.

I also have a feature for users to submit their webmaster blog posts for extra exposure. Don't know if that feature will catch on though.

Any feedback is welcome. Thank you in advance.

Sorry this is not in the blog review thread. My mistake. Don't know how to move the post.

Very nice, you have some good articles and i read a few of them, good job on your site.

Great work. Work on the content.

Maybe you wanna list articles based on categories, then put the categories in main navigation so that users can find your articles easily.

I like the idea but I also intend on having more categories in the future once I get some more content written up, so if I did that I'd have to use dropdown menus. I am not sure if they are less search engine friendly or not.

Looks very good,
Keep up with the content and you should be sorted.

Id really concentrate on doing articles with examples and show how people can "achieve" your example quickly and simply.

Also a good article for any site like yours is HTML5
Do an article with HTML5 and give some cool examples of what people can do with it.

as long as the SE's can see the <a href= in the src you should be ok.
Javascript menus are not the best..

Maybe have PHP build the menus, This way they are dynamic but "static" when it comes to the SE's

Thanks lynxus for your help! An HTML5 article would be a great idea. And also thanks to everyone else whose given me advice so far...

Now I just have to figure out how to promote the site.

Make lots of articles.
Then get yourself a digg / reddit / twitter and facebook account.

And submit your articles to each of those.
( using the share buttons )

I actually already do... as well as StumbleUpon. Get a few hits a day from each which isn't too bad considering the sites about 2 weeks old. I have a few friends with Digg/Stumble, etc, I think I am going to get them submitting my stories too.

Only thing i would get is a nice logo for your website. Goodluck
