[1] Tag and category views should use the same template as your front page – as it is now, those pages look ‘broken’ (the container is full width of screen instead of aligning with the logo, the image is too big). The font size is bigger than the rest of the site as well. These pages look out of place. Same goes for your search results page.

[2](suggestion) make your content div white background, and your body background the same color as the header/footer area (so it doesn’t leave a white space below the footer should the content not fill up the length of the page).

[3]Your tags need spaces (animalsciclidfishfreshwater should probably have some spaces in there…) This is on the tag/category view so I’m guessing (at this point) your templating for these areas is a little broken.

[4]Your logo is awesome – I really like the look of it. Its design compliments the simplicity of your theme, which is also very well done (despite the above problems in it).

I’ve seen far worse from people claiming to be WordPress experts, so don’t worry too much about it. Trust me – you could have been like some of these other people, attempting to peddle some free theme filled with advertisements and links to questionable resources under the guise of a blog, but you didn’t – and you aren’t. I applaud you for that.

It’s nice, for a change, not to be presented with a link to ermgerd my first WordPress site gais!!!1! only to find myself staring at the half-hearted workings of some 9-year-old who doesn’t have the grasp of what a blog even is.

Keep up the good work, keep up the amazing photography, and get those little problems fixed. You’ll learn your way around this in time, and it will get easier from there.

Then you should be asking your memmbers.

(1)Interesting use of a premium real-estate theme for a portfolio.
(2)Did you know your Chocolate design is on several websites with different people claiming to have authored it?
(3)The design is clean, sleek, and to the point.

(1) Header -> too much stuff going on. Everything is scrunched together. It looks cluttered and not very user friendly. I thought it was an advertisement at first.
(2) Rotator -> the next button overlaps the quick inquiry form. White space below each image. The images don’t actually link to anything, so it feels pretty useless. (I realize the images are based on screen size. Find a better way to do that so it doesn’t break your layout.)
(3)Video -> too small to really see any detail, pointless overall.
(4)Stock images -> out of place; insignificant.
(5)Spell/grammar/layout checks -> some list items aren’t spaced like others, some words are misspelled (‘traninings’). Some sentences make no sense (‘…provide all high Quality IT online trainings in leading edge and emerging technologies at highly cost effective way.’)
(6)Theme -> feels sloppy, hastily put together, and not very professional.

How’d you wind up breaking Powermag’s functionality? I’d also suggest Fitvid for your video embeds so they don’t look so lopsided.

@clouder > Google Ads – anybody can put them on anything (within Google’s TOS).

(1) Open top menu opens nothing
(2) Open main menu could be aligned better (instead of just a wall of links that feels like it breaks the theme
(3) Post carousel may actually be hurting you more than it helps, seeing as there are studies pointing to the fact that people think of these as advertisements, and not part of the core site, avoiding them altogether.
(4) Absolutely no content in the sidebar to justify its existence. I see you have a simply poll you could have thrown anywhere, and then two advertisements. Wasted screen space.
(5) Back to your carousel, the images aren’t a standard size, so it’s constantly pushing the content down/up upon each new image. That’s a bit annoying.
(6) You want to differentiate yourself as a girl who likes sports, but your logo falls into the stereotypical imagery usually associated with women and technology – the sexy silhouette instead of, say, a toned down logo. I don’t have a problem with it, per say, I just feel that maybe it’s just not very good.
(7) Facebook and Twitter could have been in the same widget area, since they’re both social links.
(8) Again, that carousel and the constantly jumping content. …
(9) Related posts (single post view) are a tiny column that push the comments down and create an unappealing blank space.
(10) The entire post is bold.
(11) Do I really need to know what time you wrote the posts on? Do I really need to know that?
(12) Written by admin? Oversight?
(13) The font used for tags, post info, previous/next,open top menu/open main menu: ugly.
(14) Your advertise page has a sharebox. Why would anyone need to share that page? And then you say “Fill out the contact us” form, with no link FROM the page you want them to fill out the form from. So they have to click on another link to do that. In my opinion, you’re far from even being ready to accept advertisements.
(14a) Your site looks unprofessional, your sidebar exists solely for advertisements, none of the elements look like they play well together, and you haven’t even taken the time to do simple cosmetic changes to a purchased theme/WordPress installation (like change the author name, for one). And yet, you think you’re ready to take (serious) advertisement inquiries? And where would you place them? In your sidebar? Gosh, that sure would just make your readers happy – even more advertisements!
(15) I appreciate your effort in branding, but the presentation/end product/logo could have used some refinement. Are these made by you? A third-party? Where are they shipping from? An about page would have helped. A simple FAQ could have done wonders.
(16) Multiple (of the same posts) show up in different categories. You should be focusing on a single category per post, and using tags to specify the content further. And even with tags, you shouldn’t be overusing them, because then they kind of start to lose their importance when you’re just tagging a post with any word.

That’s probably enough for this list.

But yes, to answer your question: I am aware of it, and I have disabled it. Meant to originally, but I guess it just slipped my mind.

Without knowing what other plugins you use, whether or not your site is compromised, or whether or not your theme is at fault, or whether or not it was your browser – no clue. But seeing as there is nothing in the plugin itself that makes any call to Youtube, there is no possible way for it to show content from Youtube.

So how does a plugin that makes no calls to Youtube embed Youtube…

Plugins->Editor->Multi Social Widget and remove the following code.

Where in the code do you see it making calls to Youtube?

(1)The theme feels completely wrong for the content.
(2)Your copyright year is wrong (pet peeve)
(3)Your lower widgets don’t match the rest of the theme, and don’t look like they are part of your content.
(4)Everything feels like it’s in the wrong place (Recent posts followed by an introduction to the website…)
(5)Your site tagline is overlapped by your post container.

(1) What can your site offer me that say, IMDB, can’t?
(2) What exactly makes these “Must Watch Movies”?
(3) What is something new that you’re bringing to the movie website table?
(4) Why should I care?

Single posts load a lot faster than the front page. (Compare 4.205s to .538s (front, single) as reported by webpagetest.org). The installation is using Varnish on the server side for caching.

Enabling Post as Front (part of a plugin I developed/work on), it decreases the load time significantly, so I think it’s just the initial fetch of full post content on the front page that is causing the load time.
