Please Review Site - Domaining blog

Fixhotep · 06-04-2008, 02:14 PM

I'd like to get some thoughts and suggestions on my new domaining blog, TrendDomaining.com.

I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on the overall layout, color scheme and, of course, content. I'm not sure if I should consider broadening or narrowing my focus.

Thanks in advance.

Nice! Overall it's layout and design are nice. I usually don't like the three column templates but this one is nice and balanced. Also, the content looks like it is coming along well. Good logo btw.

I must admit when I saw the post I was thinking "oh boy another domaining blog" but I gave it a chance opened it up and I like what I see. Also, I think you chose a pretty good domain to put this blog on. Seems like everyone is writing a domaining blog these days so stay afloat!

I think i told you in another topic that i have your site in my temp bookmarks so that means it has potential

As for the layout the posts are long and the right columns are short
You scroll down and you see a text stripe to roll
Find a way to balance it

Thanks guys. I personally like full posts... but I may not be in the majority on that opinion.

I actually was toying with adding a 'read more' option in the posts. Problem was I couldn't get any 'read more' plugins to work. Though the default one does work, I didnt like it. It takes you to a /xxxx/xxxxxxxx/#more-19. How do I take that #more-19 off?

Where would you recommend I place the 'read more'? Just before the domain lists (if the post has it) or even earlier than that?

Also, what do you mean by You scroll down and you see a text stripe to roll?

I mean just what you said before, the full posts that make you scroll

I believe that the "read more" will work better and you will have more titles to the frontpage

Great look. It's nice and clean, and the colors are well intergrated...

Logo looks great, but the favicon may look a bit like skull and bones lol

Other than that, great job, maybe add some pics in your post

8.5/10
