Just wondering if feedback can be offered for my blog. I figure I would rather start out on the right foot instead of wondering why its not working out and deal with it later.

The link is:

I know my grammar is not the best. I have already contacted someone to help me with this. I am also in the process of getting a logo designed. These are relatively cheap, I would like to get a design done but from the prices I have seen this can become pretty expensive. I believe that is one thing I'll wait out on getting.

 

All feedback, good and bad will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for the input!

I like the theme, very clean and easy to read.  I would add something to encourage social sharing, probably within each post.  Two good Wordpress plugins (I assume you are using WP) are Share and Follow and Digg Digg.

 

You also might want to consider what it is that you want visitors to do once on your site.  Subscribe?  Comment?  Something else?  Once you have that in mind you can make changes to encourage that behavior.

 

Overall though I like the site and can see great potential.

 

Oh and for grammar you may want to look into http://www.grammarly.com/, although I didn't see much wrong with yours anyway.  Unless the reader is a journalist/editor or a teacher of English I don't think they would notice any small errors.  Most people read at the 7th grade level anyway :)

Theme looks clean and nice. You just need to add feedburner plugin so that readers can subscribe. Steve has mentioned some good plugins as well.

Yeah the theme looks pretty good.  I'd get a nice logo designed and integrate social media.  Then you should be good to go.  Then it's just a matter of posting consistently and getting active on a lot of other blogs.

Thank you all for the great tips and feedback!

 

I added feedburner buttons to my sidebar so hopefully that will help with subscriptions. Once I get my logo designed I will start opening and being active on all the social media platforms.

 

Are there any plugins that automatically place text in your posts in the header and footer? For social media plugins, disclaimers, and whatever else people put. I would not be apposed to inserting them manually, I just know I would forget.

 

Thanks again!
