Review my Wordpress Blog with New Theme

philin · 10-15-2008, 09:42 PM

Hi,

I have just changed the theme of my blog to a new one with maple leaf and trees. Also, I have updated with recent photos edited in Photoshop.

Hope you can give me your comments on my blog and bookmark it if possible.

I hope to make it attractive for a constant flow of readership to leverage on Google Adsense.

My blog is below:

Although I didn't see it before, your new theme is pleasing on the eye. The neutral shades contrast well with the strong colours in your photos. Great birthday card too!

Thanks Rob.

That's a birthday cake, not a card, lol.

I hope to promote my blog for higher traffic to justify the time spent blogging regularly.

Hi Diana,
Very well done.. Looks very clean and pleasing to the eyes...

You should see about moving your RSS feed button to the top instead of having it at the bottom.

Looks good. But my personal preference is not to have Google Adsense on your blog unless you have at least reached 500 uniques per day. Otherwise you're simply ruining your readership by encouraging them to leave your site.

James,

Thanks for the review but I notice that the RSS feed button does not really show the number of readers as one day, it could hike up to over 50 from 30+ and then down again the next day. Also noticed this trend on other people's blogs.

Loads way too slowly, and the header is a little bit tall for my tastes, other than that I like it

I did notice the page loaded fairly slowly as well... but overall the site looks great!

Hi Diana,

I like your blog. It feels very "personal".

As a few others here have mentioned it did load slowly for me as well. May have something to do with the number and size of your graphics.

All The Best,

Tony

hi, another malaysian.. Great to see many of you guys online in WF.. Join the Malaysia WF group.. :-)

Anyway, your blog loads quite late.. I honestly thought there was no content, as it appears 30-40 secs later after the theme..

Look into it..

the theme is personal, not my taste, but hey, you like it
