EatingBritain.com – Launched!

  • Morning all. Just wanted to come over and let you all have a look at my latest wordpress blog…

    https://www.EatingBritain.com / https://www.EatingBritain.co.uk

    I have taken a few ques from other blogs that I have seen around, with a particular tech blog being the inspiration for the sposors area, it just made sense!

    I have tried to pull the site out to have it’s own unique look and to try not to seem like too much of a “blog”.

    Still got lots to sort on there, but the basics are now up so I would love your comments.

  • Looks alot like TechCrunch! Good on ya for pissing off Michael Arrington because noone likes him ??

    its the same theme… though Im not sure it was intended for other sites.

    The same theme? Not really, similar, but not the same.

    And FYI, I emailed Michael. ??

    check the CSS for the mainmenu bits.

    nm, hahah wrong Mike.

    odd how those bits got moved around. I saw them in one nice big clump when I first looked – now theyre alllllll spread out. Funny how that happens.

    I guess since you asked for a critique, Ill go ahead and say this: while you admitted to the sponsers thing being being “inspired” off another site, you left off the menu. And to me, atleast its pretty obvious you ripped/borrowed/lifted the CSS.

    I dont like thieves, no matter what it is, or who it is, they happen to steal from.

    Are you a thief, in the purest sense? I dont know. There is a fine line between inspiration and theft, after all.

    Frankly, I would rather see a crappy original site, rather than one that someone regurgitated off the net. So I guess I dont like your site since so much of it appears to be just that — regurgitated.

    I will look forward to seeing what it looks like after youve made the changes you mentioned in your e-mail, of course ??

    Thanks for the honest comments.

    Still have more to do on the design, but to be honest, I have “lifted” layout structure, meaning, where things go e.g the sponsers..

    Additionally, parts of the css are from all over the place as I am no good at coding css.

    Finally, I emailed Mike in the process too.

    As far as I am concerned, this is inspiration, and will develop over the next few days as thus far I have only spent a few hours on the site.

    I do however thank you for your comments, it’s people like you that will help me craft my skills and make better designs in the future.

    No I am not being sarcastic, I actually am thanking you. ??

    I have to say, I looked at some other things you’ve done and was vastly more impressed. And no, im not being sarcastic. ??

    yeah that’s my point, I needed a base to start from as always then I develop it over time. Like GuinchoGuy, TextBritain, TextAnonymous, YourMyCrush etc etc

    Thanks for being honest ??
