hi antonyalston,
Congrats on your first French blog,

Your site took a few seconds to load, it is not fast… but still it is good enough.

I can’t understand french, but seems like it is a health/fitness weightloss kind of a blog. You have a very good logo on the top, looks brandable.

cheers,

hi Catherine,
Nice blog and a great domain name, both personal and very brandable.

I have to say that your blog took it’s time to load, perhaps due to the heavy background image you have kept.

Overall, it is a good site, would suggest you to make a blog on the sub-domain where you can post updates. Your homepage seems mostly static.

cheers,

hi quolls3,
There are a number of ways to add a form on the sidebar. Would suggest you to search for a plugin to do it.
cheers,

Hi Daniel,
Your portfolio is great,

Just wondering, why would you put your woodwork and your wordpress designs on the same site. Both are very different from each other.

hi quolls3,
Your blog is too simple, you need to spice it up.

Here are a few things that you can do:

1) The blue background image is too harsh on the eyes.

2) Get a logo or a hearder.

3) Put something interesting in the sidebar, your facebook page, twitter stream, or any other social widget will look good there.

4) You have plenty of content, but the presentation make it look boring. Format your content in a way that it looks interesting to your readers. Use bold, sub-headlines etc.

Keep it updated,
cheers,

hi Meadowvale Inspections,
Congrats on starting a new career, best of luck.

Just went through your site, and from what it seems, it does not look like a blog.

A blog should have unique content and must be updated regularly. I would suggest you to keep a blog on a sub page where you can update your visitors from time to time.

The design is good, nice work,
cheers,

hi Abhishek,
Congrats on your first wordpress blog, looks good.

Here’s a few quick suggestion.

1) Get a logo for your site. It says – Directory – on the top where a logo or a header should have been. Put something brandable there.

2) Just wondering, if you are covering mysore, they why have you put a world map on the top. You need a map of mysore in there.

3) There is still plenty to work on your blog. At the top of your blog page, you have the default text. Put something related in there.

4) Get a seo plugin – then change the post pages title to have only the post title.

5) Be active on the social media, add some social voting buttons on your posts.

overall, you have a good blog, keep it updated,
cheers,

hi pozytywny,
Excellent domain name, short and brandable,

Overall, your blog already seems established. The facebook page is pretty active as well.

Just keep posting more articles and you will see your traffic increase.

cheers,

hi Bob,
Nice theme, is it custom made for you?

Overall, it is a good theme, the logo is nice and brandable.

For affiliate marketing, what works best is the newsletter. So, will suggest you to put the sign-up form in the header, in the black space, just below the red header.

Best of luck with your blog,
cheers,

hi leev18,
Yeah, the theme is very simple but congratulations on customizing it. Nice work.

Some of the most simple themes like “thesis” for example did pretty good, so i find no reason why your readers won’t find your theme engaging.

Keep adding more content,
cheers!

hi Hertia91,
Nice blog, looks good.

Your blog did take some time to load, perhaps due to the background image or the slider.

Anyway, here are a few quick things i would like to suggest.

1) Get a logo. Having a logo on the top helps to build a brand. Your readers will remember you better.

2) Put “-” dash in the links that goes in the URL, instead of the underscore “_” which i found on one of your posts.

3) Your theme is good, simple and clean. However, i do not like themes with 4 links on the footer. A custom theme of your own is always preferable.

cheers!

Hi bispo007,
Excellent blog, your designer did a good job.

Always good to start a blog with a nice and brandable logo, but getting a mascot makes it much better.

I can’t read Portuguese, but from what it seems, it looks like you have got plenty of content on the blog. Keep adding more content.

I see plenty of good things on your blog, your facebook fan page is very active, your ads are nicely blended and the social media buttons are properly integrated.

Keep up the good work,
cheers,

hi Commandrix,
Yeah, kind of long name, but if your readers remember it, then the domain is fine.

About the right click, most users open new posts in tabs and if you disable right click they will close your blog straight away.

Everything you have in your blog is visible in the source, so a plagiarist will copy it anyway. But there are other ways to stop plagiarists, like i did some time back which caused their domains to be released by the host. So, stop worrying about copycats you can always deal with them… and start thinking about your readers.

Your blog needs a good logo and perhaps a nice theme as well. Your links are not friendly, you might want to change your permalinks structure. However, your content is good and that is your best asset.

Keep blogging,
Cheers!
