I started this health and fitness blog called Fitness Contrarian a few months ago. My goal is to get a substantial readership, collect e-mails and then try to monetize it.

I have a sliding feature section on the blog with an attached side bar. Other bloggers have told me to remove it because it takes away from the text of the articles and I can't get my sign-up box high enough on my home page.

Should I remove the sliding feature on my blog?

    Hard to say for sure. Probably yes. If there's a way to make it smaller, I'd test it that way. The ultimate answer is always to test it. You just never know for sure otherwise.

    ps Welcome to the forum.

    I can"t make it smaller. I will test it with and without.

    Thanks

    there is not real hard in leaving it in place, but would be better if it was a little smaller. Normally this can be achieved within the wordpress admin or by adjusting the plugins css and html template files.

    but like i said, for what your site is about, it does not harm the way it is IMHO.

    I would like to make the side bar smaller but this theme came with the side bar attached to the sliding feature. It's not a plug in. I guess if I knew html it can be changed.

    If I turn off the sliding feature I could move up my sign-up form right next to the first post.

    I will try it both ways over the weekend.

    Thanks for your help.

    Best- Mike
