I would really appreciate your review of my 3-month-old blog!

I have been writing for many years and started blogging last year for another site.  By end of June, I decided to start my own.  I'm excited to have this medium to do what I love and to be in a community of others who share this love.  Having a review from someone with this desire would mean a lot!

Hi Pria

I guess http://www.priaingrum.com is the blog to be reviewed. It has a professional air about it. I like the clean format and portal like look.

But, I was sort of confused about the home page. I found it has one liners, and no posts. When I saw it, I was kind of wondering where to go next. If the front page has a message on how to navigate  or intro or welcome message, it will give a sense of famiiarity.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.  I wasn't aware of the issue.  It makes sense.  The theme asks for summaries of the posts, which is what you see.  When you click on these, you get the post.  ***sigh***this must be confusing others too.  I don't think the theme allows for a place to include a welcome message or explantion on clicking these summaries.  I might have to consider another theme.  That's disspointing, because this is about the 4th theme I'm trying, and felt satisfied with its look for my topic.

I am not all that literate about html coding or xml coding.. but in normal blogger or wordpress one of the following might work..  adding another Page Or changing the order of the tabs displayed.. that way you can move the summary page after the main page.

If these would not work, then maybe changing the summaries to say that this is a summary of the post, click here to read more .... or probably adding a header to this page to say something like this is a summary of the posts, please click on abc tab to read posts ... maybe one of this would work :) 

 

Thanks for these ideas!  I ended up changing the theme over the weekend - let me know what you think.  Now the posts are visible, not just the summaries.

Actually, I'm having issues with Google adsense - they are not quite showing up on the home page.  The ads there are from my affiliate programs with Amazon and Hostmonster.  If I get rid of those, I won't have ads.  How is everyone else doing with adsense?  I don't think I'm using it to my advantage. 

Thanks for your review! Smile
