  • The lifestyle theme is one of my favorites. I'm not sure about the cloud background. It's a lot of clouds when viewed on a widescreen monitor. I'd probably use a complementary blue.

    Depending on what your primary revenue model is I would test with only the ebook or only Adsense to see if that makes a difference. I rarely use two income streams on the same page.

    Good luck with your site!

    • i like it, although i agree it seems too cloudy. and it's very busy, there is a lot going on.

      now that's just me though.

  • Hi,

    I agree with the others about your background. It's a bit distracting.

    There's a lot of info on your page and that will tend to increase over time as you add to your sidebars, so my suggestion would be to make your background plain, and make it a complementary but contrasting colour to your theme and header.

    There's a great tool for matching colours here:

    Color Scheme Designer 3

    Cheers,

    Martin.

    • That's a really nice looking and professional blog.

      One thing, though, is The front page seemed just a bit busy - my eyes weren't sure where to land.

    • To my fellow warriors who responded to my request for a review of my blog...I thank you.

      And, to those of you who offered suggestions...I thank you also.

      My plans are to work on removing the clouds and using a complementary blue color background.

      Thanks Martin for the Color Scheme Designer 3 tool.

      ebuyer123...Since Iam limited in the number of daily Thank You's I can give...I will give you a thank you tomorrow.

      If I can help any of you in the future...please don't hesitate to ask.

    I like it, only thing I noticed is that the advertisement was not showing for me.

    EDIT - I would stick some adsense maybe below the archives and a couple other places where you see fit.

    • Many people are using it for their WP blogs,
      but I don't know whether Thesis theme will still need this SEO bad boy or not.
      Because Thesis theme already have the built-in SEO feature as far as I know.

  • where did you get the featured content thing!! iv seen sites with it before but dont know where to get it. Great looking site!

    • To Matt and anyone else looking for the Featured Content Gallery Plugin, here's the link to it:
      Featured Content Gallery WordPress Plugin. It required to get most StudioPress (formerly Revolution Themes) to work properly out the box.

      P.S.
      To LindaC,
      I agree with everyone else on the background being a little busy. And the top banner overpowers & is way to busy to be next to your header graphic. Overall though, a great site keep up the good work!

      Hope it helps,
      Virginia

  • I agree with slvrsrfr. It's a very nice theme, but you need more contrast with your colors. They blend together too much and make everything look busy.

    Other than that, the site looks great.

  • nice job Linda!. yah the clouds are a little too much and a it seems a little clustered. but besides that you did a wonderful job on it. great work!!
  • Very nice work LindaC.just few suggetions:
    1.Is there a way to make the main purpose of the blog a little big more clearer.(usually at the beginning top portion) so visitors will know what to look for when they will land your page(which will be mostly through Google as your SEO work seems good)
    2.Your page title can be more informative for google spiders (|Renewable Energy)
    3.Add some more wording at end of page for your keywords (energy related I guess)
    4.Your ads are not showing in IE (middle right and bottom)
    5.I would not put ads on contact us page.

    Rest looks great.
