New Blog Opinions

Well, here it is my first blog. I worked on it for some time but I finally got some posts done.

Please let me know what you think, how to improve it, what is good and what is not good, you know, criticize the hell out of it and maybe the next one will be better.

Thanks and please be honest.

Excellent first blog....wish my first was done that nicely!

I'd get rid of the site admin section...don't want to make it easy for idiots to go poking around trying to log-in to somewhere they don't belong.

I also wouldn't list my comments RSS feed. Adult blogs don't get enough comments for this to be of interest to anyone and someone might accidently subscribe to it instead of your blog and then never visit because it never gets updated.

I'd only list categories or tags not both. Oh...and I'd list tags. So if you want to keep the categories, leave them in the sidebar and add tags to the posts.

Finally, add those ugly chicklets that make subscribing to your blog easy for blog surfers. I use this plugin because it also has all the social bookmarking sites included.

Rachel, site looks great. I really like your template!

Walrus, thanks for the hook-up on the plugin. I've got one for the RSS feeders, but I'm going to install that one instead since it includes the social bookmarking sites. Ever since I del.iciou.us'ed myself, half my traffic comes from del.icio.us. LOL

Thanks gaylemart, I like it too.

If anyone wants to trade links please let me know.

I just like the bananna!

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, the theme is from a guy called "Andreas" I first came across on Open Source Web Design.

It's a nice theme and my only comment would be that when I have tried that type of gray, all over, in TGP designs, it hasn't worked at all well. Hopefully it will prove different for your blog, but generally, light and bright or dark and moody seem to go down better with porn surfers than in-between color schemes.

I noticed a few of the pictures in the posts are really bad quality, I am guessing they are screen caps. Think it takes away from a site.

I am moving the blog to a new domain. As someone suggested I will use TwistyStars to promote Twistys Girls, it only makes sense.

Here is the new domain, same theme different colors (as jayeff suggested gray is not a very good color, and I agree)

http://www.noviceslut.com

jayeff: Yes you are right, the theme is "Andreas04", and I hope the new colors will work better. Any thoughts?

ronnie: Yes some of the pics were posted using FeedWordpress and that is how they came through, I will pay closer attention to that and try to maintain a good quality post and pics.

walrus: I added the chicklets plug-in (Thanks, I hope it works) and thanks for the compliment.

Please take a look at the new blog and let me know what you think.

Thanks to all of you!

Little too much purple for my taste, or it's too bright, least towards the top of the page. But thats just my opinion. I do have to say, it's nice to see a blog with some text..

Must be a matter of taste....cause I like the purple but will agree it's nice to see some text.

I like the colors too. They gently warm me up inside, and make me feel like a passionate lover.
