REVIEW my CAR blog site

[BusinessAdviser]

It looks attractive in terms of colors, pictures, etc. However, it could be cleaned up a bit.

chaunna-ya the text wrap did that on its own, i imported from blogger but ill fix, ya i went over board on url branding on pics, i will do a light color barely visible, and thanks the knight rider post, i'll add more info like that stuff from now on, i usually rushed my posts, now i'm really gonna try and make good posts and helpful ones, just waiting till i finish some other tasks.

looks much better!

I agree with chuanna I would just center the images and start the text under.

Is there a way to make the text area wider? you seem to have a lot of wasted space on the right?

Great work keep it up!

thanks rich, i was looking for ur review for a while, ya im working on little things like text wrap but i mean how is general layout and position of things like my search box and feed burner stuff like that, i don't think i can change text size. just some things that i don't like about wordpress, sitemeter doesn't work well, and if you know of a good place to track users that works good with wordpress, google analytics doesnt work with wordpress.
thanks.

I havnt tried it, but I just did a search and found this plugin for google analytic and wordpress

Google Analytics Plugin for Wordpress - boakes.org


In regards to the layout, here are a few things I would suggest:

1. Get a rss button that stands out. You can find 51 here: RSS buttons - this will catch peoples eyes, and give you a better chance of grabbing them as a feed subscriber.

2. Remove the calender (i see no real reason to keep it),and move the article section to the left sidebar under the categories. This gives you a whole sidebar to put whatever type of ads you want. to start monetizing you blog.

3. Is there a way yon can make 'carversation' more prominent in the header? I think this will do wonders for your branding.

Hope this helps.

richkid- i always love ur help. ok as far as wordpress plug ins only work for wordpress.org i have a .com, means you can't edit the layout. so the chicklet feedburner thing i have with a 0 for subscribers you think i should make that stand out like change color? calendar is for like to see everyday posts, you think its not needed. i didn't want to put ads yet for a while and plus you can't on wordpress unless you host somewhere else. the header can't be changed only the image i have with my url on it, unless i get another pic with my name more visible on it.

i changed the rss feedburner shower, i got rid off calendar, what about the branding, what can i do since all i can do is upload an image and can't put text unless i put it on the image, also any other things or updates and you got aim richkid.
