Everyone On The Planet Needs At Least One

Thanks for the comments. I have redesigned the page to skinny it up. I use a 24 inch monitor so it throws me off for sizing. There are a some grammatical errors which I am cleaning up. I'm also adding a section called "Taming the Terror of Making Mistakes". I also fixed the bullets - they look fine on my monitor but they were jpeged so the background did not match the perfect solid color.

Here's a few questions and comments of my own.

The color is killing me? Did you you mean the text, the background of the text, the red page background, or everything? You should look at the home page. Actually I was surprised that several professional web designers liked the home page, even though it has an entirely red background with lighter text.

Can anyone tell me what an "intelligent looking font" is. I tried to google this term and got nothing. It would seem I'm not the only one who is font challenged.

No - using the word "challenges" was not keyword stuffing. I don't even use it as a keyword. The lead-in was supposed to make the point that life is full of challenges that may seem insurmountable if we don't know how to beat them, and that the way to discover how to triumph over challenges is to generate new ideas to find our way free. It seemed like a logical approach but it may be lacking in emotional content. Is that what you meant?

Kevin said, "It's catchy and intriguing if you actually read it, but WHY would people read it?" Don't people read it because it's catchy and intriguing?

In regards to testimonials you should see my post in the "Mind Warriors" section of this forum.

Kevin,

First of all let me express my deepest apologies for stressing your optic nerves beyond your tolerance level. I wonder if you have the brightness and contrast on your monitor turned up all the way. Unfortunately many people do this when they first buy a monitor. It may look better initially but the colors are more accurate with these settings near the center position. This issue is similar to turning up the base and treble all the way on a stereo. It may seem to sound better but the playback is more accurate to the original with these controls in the center position.

The red on my web site is fairly neutral as far as reds go. And the yellow (if you're referring to the background of the copy) is a pale off-white. Perhaps you could post some links to web pages that have a more favorable color scheme as an example.

It would be helpful if others viewing this post could weigh in on this issue.

Anyway look at the bright side. The image of my sales page will be burned-in to your retina's forever so it will be a memorable experience. You'll see it every time you close your eyes, maybe even haunt your dreams.

I still don't understand what you're trying to say about the opening paragraph. I'm sure there's some prophetic copy writing wisdom in there somewhere but I'm not getting it. If you could find a way to be more clear and concise it would be more helpful to me and to others that are following this post.

Also I don't understand "the quality of the text image". Text is text, I have no control over the "quality" of it. Or are you referring to the text in the graphic at the top of the page, or the menu at the very top of the page. A little more specificity would be helpful.

As I said in my earlier reply I am currently narrowing the entire page and scaling the text accordingly, and making some other changes in the copy. Maybe that will help. I won't be ready to upload the revision for a day or two.

Finally, I don't take your negative comments as disrespect. There is far too much phony niceness in the world. I find that people are more honest when they are expressing negative opinions. You can learn a lot more from what people hate.

Everyone's so sensitive about the potential of hurting others feelings. This political correctness thing is getting way out of hand. If I had a grotesque booger stuck to my face I would have more respect for someone telling me about it directly, than for someone who didn't tell me at all out of concern over hurting my feelings.
