ill 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2005 Okay i have a few things to say..the template looks premade, try making you own. it adds a unique style to your site, and don't rip someone else's design, make it completely your own. try downloading photshop cs and use that to make your images, it will add lots of style.the title really doesn't have anything to do with showing that the site is a tech site. its too broad and general, and also, way too long, try shortening it and hitting the subject on the point.make your categories more specific. instead of just computers try laptops, desktop computers, music players, or like microsoft, apple, dell, etc.add pictures to your posts, instead of just linking the MacMini include a picture of it too. it makes your site more attractive.here's some inspiration of one of the best tech blog sites i've ever read and still do read often.. http://default9.modblog.com/ (at this moment in time the site isn't appearing, modblog seems to have some error, but look into the site, you'll love it, it's simple and attractive) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow skazi 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 It has a good information, but you are using a premade template. And it's the entire site that's premade... You should try making your own layout then installing CuteNews or FusionPHP (Or FusionNews) Just google them. Or googlue them Well anyways, like I said, nice information about the firefox thing.

maddog39 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 I love the template its really nice. But maybe you should get a BB of some sort. I love them and if its good and has nice sections/forums and all then I would post on it. I would suggest, if you want light weight, like XMB or punBB, and if you want graphical then phpBB. If you really want to go crazy buy and IPB lisence like me and get an IPB v2 board up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ill 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 That's a lot better man.. But still it's better if you made it, cause it makes it more unique.. but this is a step up from the boring layout you had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 First off I'd just like to say im not a blogging expert :PHowever, a unique layout is quite far down on the list of priorites I would say. My advice would be that your blog was- interesting / useful- updated often!The layout comes second, always. Conclusion: if your content is great it will attract people regardless of the 'uniqueness' of the design.Just a few things I suggest :DGood luck with the development of your site!-vacant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andyy15 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 I think yout blog is very simple and easy to follow. I suggest adding a logo. I like how your site is fixed width. Overall goof job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ket 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 ok, the site looks good with the template and all, but if there's one thing you could change... is the banner - The Tech Blog - it looks sooo damn simple, and it could be sooo much better..also, the borders you chose ( 1pixel blue dashed border), get messed up when you scroll. its a internet explorer / mozilla bug. the only way to fix it, its to change the width to 2px.
