Hey guys, I've recently openned a new website, blogitize. Its aim is to provide articles on blogging and resources for bloggers out there.

I plan to add more free themes, articles and resources to the site soon. I know that there isnt that much content up (its only been up 3/4 days!) but there is content in every section, so you can review it easily.

Looking for constructive comments and ideas!

Review Blogitize!

I gotta admit, I think it's got some potential there. The layout's nice and clean, easy to navigate (which is typical for blog stuff) and most importantly it looks like it's original content. I only see a few minor issues, the biggest of which is one you'll probably address (overall lack of content, but your site is still new so allowance should be made).

You've got a broken image on this post here: http://blogitize.com/?cat=6

The two skins look nice from a thumbnail point of view, but I'd like to see a live demo before I download it. Maybe you should have two links for each instead of one? (Live preview and Download).

The Resources link in the menu doesn't work (just leads to the top of the current page).

Other than that, I say stay the course you're on. If you keep it original and real, you'll really have something. The only thing you may not be able to solve is advertising: it's difficult to find effective advertising for a tech-savvy, banner-blind market.

Thank you very much for your quality input!

I do realise that much more content needs to be added, but as I said, this will come with time.

There was a live demo for the skins, but its really hard to see, something i really need to address in the CSS file.

I have addressed that broken image, the sidebar modules website went down, so i've removed it.

Advertising is a real problem though. I do agree.

Thank you for the really helpful comments.

Visually it's very appealing, but if I were to give it a critical eye, I'd say the main logo in the upper left doesn't jive well with the secondary logo on the right (no edge on the left vs a anti-aliased thin edge on the right). I'd go with one look and stick with it.

The content is good and easy to read, but the front page is a bit long. I guess if it's meant for bloggers they won't care about scrolling down a long page since after all that's how most blogs are.

Definitely has a sharp look to it though.

I think it looks nice, I was going to try my hand at a blog site but I have no clue how to go about it. I will have to poke around a bit, your top links dont work though

It looks alright, perhaps it's a little corporate like though. Bloggers like something more informal..

The only top link that doesnt work is resources, i will remove this, as I have no use for it.

Anyone have any ideas for some great new features??
