Please review my new blog theme.

Hi everyone, I made a different theme for my blog. I still have to change the logo(Lisa Page's) and the banner, they don't look right. I want to make a cute little logo, but my logo maker only lets me do words

If anyone can help with a logo please pm me.

Anything you think should be changed or added would be much appreciated also.

Thanks everyone

Hey Lisa, welcome back!

How much traffic are you getting to your blog now? I would maybe be interested in taking that top advertising spot. Feel free to pm me if you don't want to discuss here (I was too lazy to pm).

Lisa,

The site overall I think looks pretty good. But I have a few criticisms.

The header and logo are obviously something that you are working on so I will leave them alone.

The Green Banner is a good Idea, it allows you to highlight some of your content, But it looks a little tacky with it's content breaking below it's borders. Can those google ads The just add extra height to the div and I don't like it.

Your images at the beginning of each post are a plus, but they are not very good images. You will attract more fly's with honey. Make them a little sweeter and easier on the eyes. I might suggest putting them centered in the div and having your content underneath them as opposed floating to the right of the image.

I think the template could suit you well. But it needs some tweaking. Play with the color, Green on dark grey isn't my favorite. Although it creates a good contrast and can seperate your pages easily the bright green isn't viewer friendly.

I hop some of that helps. I don't wan to seem harsh, so sorry if I am.

I will put some thought into a logo design for you and see what I can come up with.

Adam

Thanks creadiv, I know we talked on this subject before. I never got around to it, cause I want to do as much as I can on my own. I would love to see what you could come up with for a logo. It has to be 248x102 please. I would like Lisa Page's but with a cute little logo also,lol.

Thanks for the ideas. I agree about the ads. I have to switch things around and see what looks best. I will be tweaking it out as much as I can in the next week or 2.

Hope fully I can get lots of people here to give me some more ideas, so I can fix gear towards to the wide range audience.

For the logo:

Do you want to continue with your current color scheme?
Do you want to logo to represent dropshipping, homebased business, or you?
Do you want something cartoony, or serious?

Hi Adam,
I am going to keep that color scheme for a while until I tweak things around. But I am sure I will have you do another logo for me if I like this one.
So, yes to the same color scheme, and I was thinking cartoon based. Maybe a cute little woman or girl charachter, with my name in possesion format "Lisa Page's"

Thanks!
