Requesting Review of My Personal WordPress Site

  • About a month ago now I finally combined the power of WordPress with my static PHP site. It was a fairly smooth transition thanks to Chris Coyier over at CSS-Tricks.com. With his three-part series on “Designing for WordPress” I was able to create my own custom theme. I am happy with the layout and have been tweaking the posts layout here and there, but I would love to get feedback from others about how they feel.

    So please, I welcome your constructive criticism. I believe that nothing good can grow without the help of others. Thanks in advance to those who use this service as it’s meant to be.

    Thank you for the kind words. My goal is to really step up my efforts on blogging.

    Nice design. I agree that the colors in the header are quite good. It feels very … gentle. Like a breeze.

    I’d look at contrast in the type overall, its a bit light, and maybe the line-height on the body text.

    @mcpatriot – hmm, I’ll have to think about the type color. Are you using windows? I know IE always renders a lighter color for some odd reason to me. But the body text line-height is a good idea. Thanks.

    Nice job. Nothing there that doesn’t serve a purpose.

    @mcpatriot – I adjusted the line height and darkened the color of the body text. I think it looks better. Thanks again.

    Nice, fairly easy to read and simple design makes this easy on the eyes… something lacking in quite a few blogs these days. Nice colour scheme especially.

    Looks very good, i love how your just drawn into the content. Fix the nav, the text is so small where “Home” is.

    @fernbyfilms – Thank you. I appreciate the comments.

    @indestiny – thank you so much. I am leaving the text size the same though. It was my choice to set the font size smaller because I didn’t want them to distract the user.
