    Hi all, here’s my first attempt at a theme for my wordpress site.

    I did start out initialy using the dreamworks redux theme 1.0 by Vinh Le, but to be honest I’ve changed so much that it doesn’t resemble it at all now.

    Let me know what you think, any feedback is good feedback!

    You left <!– in footer, so i’m guessing you didn’t finish your comment.

    Generally, i see you went for minimalistic approach. It’s not bad for your first theme. But, i don’t like the first post, it’s too stuffed with content, so it wouldn’t be bad if you could change it somehow.

    I am not qualified to comment on the content but as for the website it doesn’t reach out and pull me toward it for a kiss. (shrug)

    @trahe, can I ask what blogs/sites you read that would make you reach out and kiss it? ?? Seriously, so I know what might draw people in.

    @agent001, I agree that the first post does look quite chunky, maybe I just need to write less. What do you think of the idea of showing the whole first post and only excerpts of the rest?

    Thanks for feed back guys!

    On the front page I responded to about 8 different posts. Of those posts these two made me want to kiss them:

    https://thebigmmorpglist.com
    https://www.huizehoog.nl/

    Both sites had Pizazz and both sites were cleanly laid out. I appreciated what I considered their care and attention to the information they wanted me to read as it was clearly defined and well presented.

    They actually made me feed bad about my website Trahe.com so I’m going to see if I can steal some ideas from them. h hahahahah

    Thanks for the kissing my site trahe : )

    Trust me the best way to get a good site is to just put many creative hours into it. That’s what I did and now it turned to something good.

    I would also like to say you have to be unique! If you “steal ideas” someone else has already done it! If you are the first to do something then you will get noticed.

    I like the way your site is going it is UNIQUE and keeps my attention. All you really need is a more creative look. The Content is already there.

    Site looks good IMO but the light gray font color and white BG is killing my eyes. Good start tho.
