Hi,
I am running a blog HelpITx for helping other beginners. I tried different templates for my blog and finally applied Pakeeza template which is designed by bloggermotion.com . I have edited some code of this template and finally it is in front of you.
I like the front page of my blog but don't like the post pages sometimes. Do you think I'm right to dislike my post pages design?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks
HelpITx

Update: On 16th August 2014 I changed my template a Magazine Style template. Hope this works better.

    It's a nice clean, professional looking site! I don't mind your post pages at all. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best approach. However, your site isn't responsive in my firefox browser. Have you tried viewing it in different mobile phones to see the result?

      Thanks for reviewing my site. I am not worried about simplicity but about the readers. I have seen that the text ads usually irritate when they form a bunch. Should I reduce the number of text ads? And yeah this template is partially responsive only.
      And I haven't checked it on any mobile device. Thanks for advising me, I should check it.

    As for the website, the color schemes are easy on the eyes, however you may want to do some re-editing on the graphics because they don't really come out will. they look stretched or squashed. also, improve the menu bar, some part of it is sticking out. lol!

    good luck buddy!

      I am concerned about graphics but for the matter of fact I am not a good designer I sometimes ignore this because I want to keep my content 100% genuine :p
      Well you said right about menu bar.. I once tried to change it but that was not satisfying me so I just returned it back

    The layout is nice - but that's the nicest thing I'm going to say about the page.

    *When I critique design and presentation: I do so honestly and passionately.*

    The layout itself is nice - the images in your posts/boxes are ugly and distorted (pixelated and not to scale, and ugly pictures to use anyway) - there is no logo graphic and the page is too bright and in your face.

    Your site looks like a wacky tacky 99p novelty shop.


    Things to impove: Get a logo, or some sort of logo text.
    Sort out the graphics used on the site - correct the scale and size of your images so they don't get distorted and use nicer graphics in general.

    I've got some graphics packs I own full rights too, so I can sort you out with a small something to help get you started if you'd like? Drop me a PM


    Overall - good effort, great structure/layout - just need to work on the actual graphics being used in your presentation.

    Peace,
    Gh0zt

      I respect your opinion but I am not worried much about it.
      Because this site is basically weblog which is for teaching beginners. Not entrepreneurs
      So I am just giving it a touch which suites beginners. The other reason for which I disagree with you is that these images are apparently pixelated but one can see a better picture of image by clicking on it. I have enabled image showcase lightbox in my blog settings.
      Anyways thanks for reviewing my blog
      I like your suggestions but I am not really worried about it.

    The template that you use, looks great, nice, clean (in demo).. however, your site looks terrible, there is a chaos between the articles....that images with "hello dude, hi dude".. makes me to go away with out thinking that you might have what i need... almost every article in that site has a main image that make you wonder if worth to read anything or just go away and look for something else... You have some issues to your head main menu links, i dont know how to fix, i think that they are to many and your layout dont have enough space....

      Well that's a honest review ! I think head menu items are alright. I must think about my graphics then.
