13tongimp Whatcha think?

  • https://www.13tongimp.com/

    I was using a much more complex PHP based CMS for a year or so, and it was a real hassle. I used to run a link blog of sorts a few years back and back then it was blogger based, but I wrote a bunch of html out for the main site structure. I wanted something in between the two, and although I had been a bit hesitant about WordPress for some reason, I like it lots now.

    My new site focus and concept called for a simple setup and a clean look and feel, so WP was perfect for this. I modified the benevolence theme, and cut up the template a bit to suite my needs.

    I’ve checked it in IE, Firefox, and Opera and it seems ok…

    So what’s the word?

    Okay, so I redid the masthead and some other stuff.

    Is there anyone out there with a sense of humor that has an opinion?

    It’s picky, but I’d like to see the post header links in the same color as the remaining links. I know a lot of the WP themes are like that on default, but I happen to think that it’s sloppy design.

    I think the screencap links are a good idea, but I’m not sure if I like the shape of them. I think I’d prefer something of a more ‘regular’ shape (the current shape reminds me a bit of web ads, which is part of the reason why I don’t like it that much)… But, I’d have to see it to be sure. :p

    The inter-post graphics are fine, but I’m not sure if I understand the meaning of the icon, or the connection to the name or theme of the site. Graphically, it doesn’t have a whole lot in common with the top divison graphic or the icon on top right.

    As for those: I’m not sure if I understand the meaning of the top graphics. The top division, I guess is supposed to be sound waves? Which I guess ok, relates to video imagery. The icon on the top right, well, it’s not bad, but I can’t figure out what it is. Sorry.

    Finally, I’ve never been a fan of advertising, but well, what can you do. :p

    Constructive criticism I can handle, but what is the point of even mentioning that you don’t care for advertsing? This site is obviously an attempt to make a buck, and I’m not going to hide that. WordPress isn’t just for blogs you know… I mean, would you go to a thread for a blog on Model Train collectors and then tell the guy that you aren’t a fan of people who play with toys? Sheesh….some people!

    Sheesh, some people can’t even appreciate constructive criticism when it’s paired with a (non-destructive) comment regarding the use of ads. Also, your comparison doesn’t make sense, but that’s more of an afterthought for me. You should be glad someone gives you constructive criticism, instead of criticising him for _also_ remarking that he doesn’t like ads. Did he attack you with that? Did that nullify everything he said?

    You’re not treating the people you’re asking for advice properly. Don’t expect proper advice then either.

    I mentioned the ads because it wasn’t actually apparent to me that the site is “an attempt to make a buck.” Honestly, I think some people just put ads on their site because the capability is out there, not necessarily because they are interested in the cash. And, if that’s the case, I certainly feel the ads might as well not be there.

    Admittedly, I do really really dislike web ads. But, the comment was not meant to be a criticism of people who use websites to generate money, and I’m sorry you took it that way. Indeed, my comment “what can you do” was an admission that for better or for worse, web ads are just a part of internet life.

    Anyway, good luck with your endeavors. ??

    lolling at the WordPress nerds =D

    They take all this stuff so seriously!!!!

    This is the best entertainment I’ve had all day

    My suggestion: add a 1px border to the images, with a padding of 1px too. Everything look be better =P
