Website Review and Suggestions

**Steve_mysalsa** · 05-06-2010, 08:42 AM

Hey guys

I'd like you to review my blog: Steve's Language Blog /. Please give me easy tips on how to improve its quality. It's the first thing I've ever done in the internet and I have no experience in programming/designing whatsoever. This is why I registered on this forum.

There are three goals I set out to achieve by creating the blog:

- to motivate me to learn 10 languages
- to help/motivate others in the process by reviewing other sites, books etc. and writing about languages in general and about my progress
-to learn how to create blogs/websites

I hope you can give me some tips with the last one of my goals.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Steve

It looks pretty good, i do not like the green that much it takes away from the site, i would change the color.

livefaq: Thanks, but I have no idea what this means. =/

Knight13: Thanks! I know the color's not very good but I don't know which one to use. Any suggestions?

btw, I've got some problems with the Facebook Like Box: If you scroll down on the right you'll see "Facebook Fans --> Become a fan on facebook". I exported the Like Box to Blogger and this is what it looks like but it's not what it's supposed to be. Any idea what went wrong?^^

If you want a dark background maybe use a dark blue or dark gray color or just go with black, otherwise use white or a light gray color for the background.

change colors its good for you

The background is very green. You could change it to a more light colour or if you want to keep the background colour just change the text font to something more smother like Tahoma.

OK thanks guys, I'll experiment a little with colors and fonts.

I doubt I speak for everyone. However, I have a 37 inch monitor and your background blinded me. I dont know how many people use large screens though.

I've changed it to a dark blue now, as you suggested. Does anyone think it's better? Or those who haven't seen it: Do you think it's OK now?
