Richard, I love the tag line. The colors could be toned down and not so much shading. It is hard to read the black on the dark green. Opt in box to the right and what kind of value added services are you providing? Great start and congratulations for requesting feedback. You are a champion.

Hi Richard

What a great header, loving the colour and your slogan!!

Some people have probably said this and I am no expert, but here goes;
Get the content rolling, add videos, tips trick. It wouldn’t hurt to put in some banners with your affiliate link. You definitly need a form to build your e-mail list.

Ogh you probably want a “contact me” button on the top.

Take Care

Graeme

Hi Richard-

I love the tagline about you being the only “crooke” that gives more than he takes.

I agree that the header needs to be lightened up a bit so you have more contrast between the letters and the background color of the header, so that your catchy phrase just “pops”.

However, it’s really just a “tweak”, and the huge thing is that you got the blog up and going. Congrats on that, and keep it up!

Hi Richard

Love the tagline.

I think you need to be concentrating more on adding value, and less about the “look” of the blog. It’s the content that will keep people coming back for more, not how good the layout is. The layout can evolve as you go along.

Add some tutorial videos, and write more articles, link to more quality content on other students blogs, comment on their posts, tell us how your doing etc etc

All these things are much more important. Good Luck

Stay in touch

Hi Richard,

As far as categories and navigation tabs go, that will evolve as you add more content to your blog. At the moment I have just one category on my blog, entitled “blog” but that will change quite soon as I have a few posts behind me now.

There should be some video content on here (I still haven’t got around to mine yet) but I have also integrated Twitter, Audio Boo podcasts and of course my Aweber subscription form.

It’s still early days yet but you are on the right track!
