I'm a big fan of white space but you may have a bit to much. You can probably make the logo and header shorter. That is prime real estate up there!

Your blog design needs a professional touch. It looks like a generic website at the moment.

you think I should spend the money on a premium theme? I made the header myself (first time I ever made one), so I did not expect it to be great.

Hello,
From my point of view:

1) as you say this ur first time so I can say its over all good

2) Add social button to your main domain.
3)On your ON-PAGE SEO its bad (Even for your forum too)
so take care for it
a) No meta DECP or KW found..
b) Do tc for your meta title also
4) Whn you do post any content keep in mind to give correct tags on the SEO filed..

Thanks,
tbl

Thanks

This is a very simple site. The theme is boring, the color scheme is bland and the logo is horrible. I suggest you buy or download a new theme that brings out what you are trying to do with the site and also spend some money on a killer logo.

Yeah you have too much space. You should actually brand the site around you. Have someone build you a wordpress theme you can easily customize an add video works out and ect.

You have a lot of work. Just google keyword search shortcut to six-pack abs and see how a good fitness blog is ran and look and see how the monetize it.

You should add images to articles (in this short excerpt).
Also, maybe do a little bit more professional header, the image seems to be of low quality and the overall design of the header could be better

Hey Buddy,

It's a great site for a starter.

Design feedbacks:
1. Design is too plain. Maybe you can have any graphic that will fit your niche.
2. Try to have a slider with featured posts.
3. Make use of your side bar.
4. Maybe you can cut your blog roll because it is way too long.

Go for improvements.

Good luck!

replace the header... It looks a little dull, I suggest that you make it sharper. You might want to make sure that the text and the image to the right perfectly blends with its background. The color of your header is being eaten by your background. you might want to go for a white background instead. You header fonts are too small and italic making it almost hard enough to read.

Put more images like a man or woman on a workout outfit or probably working out...anything that would make you wanna check this website out when you bump into it. Best of Luck

Thanks

I think it is a Wordpress blog. The Wordpress theme which you have used is very common. With more attractive Wordpress theme you can grab more attention of the user who are visiting your wordpress blog.

Your blog looks quite basic. You need to design it to match your fitness niche. Get eye-catching header images and pictures to attract people and make them stay.

~You need a different theme on this and something that is easier to read. Try putting some images next to your posts. I would just click away from this in its current state. Study blogs in the niche and see how they are laying stuff out.

Me thinks you need to check your theme design. Try adding more interesting pictures to it and then maybe you can page break after 3-4 sentences on your posts. It's clean but maybe too clean.

Goodluck!

I've seen a lot of fitness type blogs so I hope my advise will help you out.

Your homepage is boring - spice it up with other things other than a blogroll, such as:
Put images of workouts - videos also.
Use your content for your other pages as an asset for your home page and inform clients that you have a lot of content to share.

Thanks

You must find a better theme. There are plenty out there even Free.... Try to use images on your articles... Make a separate front page.

I am a strong believer in getting content up before choosing design as the size of the different content areas should be partially determined by the content that is going into them. That said before you worry about anything else change the length of your excerpts. They need to be longer. I expect yours are short because you have short ones entered under the descriptions. You are not giving people enough of the articles in the front page or category pages to make them interested in clicking through to the articles.

If longer excerpts don't work them change the part in the theme that says theexcerpt() to thecontent() and use 'more' tags in the posts.

and the advice you got about adding pictures and thumbnails was good too.

Thanks

Everyone seems to have valuable information in this post.
In my opinion, the text formatting of each blog entry had no problems, save for that each entry looks a little short, beefing them up adds credibility to your site.
Also, the idea of a more correlative header/logo would help, as well as linking to videos, to draw in readers.
While I'm not sure how customizable your theme is, a completely white background for the content of your website could give it a lot more readability.
