An old biker’s site

  • https://www.oldguy.us/blog

    What’s your opinion. Does it provide a good viewing/reading experience? It’s an “integrated” site so click around to get good feel.

    My goal was:
    No clutter or distractions
    Easy to read (no eyestrain, no gee whiz stuff)
    Identical look and feel as rest of my site (a consistent website)

    Mods to increase “friendliness”:
    – menu highlighting
    – blogroll on separate page and annotated
    – explanations (eg “what is subscribe”)
    – navigation captions beneath masthead (index pages, archive pages, single pages, and “page” pages)
    – using non plug-in lightbox that also works on main site pages

    User interface plugins:
    Filosofo Comments Preview
    Inline Ajax Comments
    LMB^Box Comment Quicktags
    Collapsible More Link
    Search Hilite
    Smart Archives

  • I do like it.

    I really love the way you added that vertical dotted line to the left of your thumbnail image – great idea!

    I might make the post titles a little larger. Yes, they’re in a different color, but even just a few pixels larger would help readers who “scan” find the topic they want to read.

    Love the links page… a lot. Then again, I’m an SEO, so pretty links pages excite me. LOL

    The “states I’ve ridden in” map is a very cute idea too… I know, “cute” and “biker” don’t normally go hand in hand, but I happen to know a number of cute bikers myself. ??

    I do like the site. It’s clean, nice lines and very well organized. Great job!

    I agree with ladydelaluna, very clean, colours flow nicely and it’s not too busy, so it doesn’t distract from the content.

    Excellent site, keep it up! Almost makes me want to think about not being so terrified of motorcycles!

    Cheers,
    Michael.

    Thanks for the replies. I resized the post titles.

    ladydelaluna….which links page were you refering to: the “Blogs I read” page on the blog or the “Links” tab in the main menu?
