Updated logo, about and write page. More feedback would be appreciated! ??

*bump*

@octocore. That’s just a feature of the theme, mate. I had nothing to do with the coding so, sadly, I can’t help you. Sorry, mate.

@christopherross Thanks, mate. Could you be a tad bit more clear on what images you’re talking about? The pictures of everyone on the ‘about’ page or just generally all over the website?

@justbishop You mate, are the best. Thank you for noticing that error! Also, I’ve loved your little blurb and incorporated that into the page. The first extract you’ve quoted wasn’t previously there. Thanks again, mate! ??

The ‘about‘ page has been updated. More things to give us feedback on. Yay!

When you log into the admin panel do you see a message near the header telling you to upgrade? If you see that, click on ‘upgrade’.

@dcoi9. You’re a great help, mate! This addon is absolutely fantastic! I’ve pushed the links to the left side of the footer. Things should be neater for you and others! Thanks again, mate! ??

Google the plugin “All-In-One-SEO”. I use it and it’s very helpful.

@dcoi9. Hmm, not sure what it is about the links but they just won’t move to the left. This theme has been coded in an extremely weird way. I can’t figure anything out. I’m assuming you’re browsing from a smaller window because there is no overlapping on my side.

@christopherross. Hey mate, thanks for your feedback. I’ve changed the settings for the survey from the two options that I had. It’s now on a “light” skin. Does this feel better with the theme now? Thanks again for your feedback.

@zezima. Thanks for your feedback, mate. I’ll consider an about me widget if the about me page doesn’t work out in the near future. Thank you for your suggestion.

@dcoi9. I’ve got the small survey back up. Would it be a little weird if I moved the links towards the left side of the footer? I don’t like the GUI of the other survey scripts. Let me know what you think. Thanks again!

@dcoi9 Thank you for your feedback! The pagenavi took a while to get working but it was definitely worth it. It allows the regular reader to browse the website with more ease than they would with a simple ‘previous posts’ link. I personally feel it’s the best plugin I’m using. KissInsights can be minimized. Does it still block the footer links when it’s minimized? If it doesn’t block the links, does it annoy you? I’m still working my way around the way this theme is coded and trying to figure out the thumbnails. I’ll be adding the links to them along with adding thumbnails to ‘category’ pages.

Again, thank you for your feedback.

@boyevul. First of all, I’d like to say thank you for your insightful feedback. I can take all your feedback into account with the exception of the issue with the search because of a few issues with theme. I see what you mean with the sidebar advert title. I’ll be looking into modifying that and currently, it’s blank. What do you think could make the landing page more vibrant? Perhaps a more visually appealing logo? It seems like such a basic thing but now that you mention it, it’s much more clearer from the readers point of view on how annoying multiple category listings can get. As for the search, there’s not much I can do because of issues with the theme. It’s extremely complicated and I’d rather not go into it at the moment. Also, I believe you might have the ‘about us’ page mixed up with the ‘write’ page. We’re in the process of rewriting the ‘about’ page and I’ll definitely look into adjusting the space between the two.

Thanks again for taking time out to review the website. Cannot express how useful your information is to us! Thank you! ??

I’ve shrunk the current advert and tried out a new spot as a widget. I think that might fill up some space and make the sidebar feel a tad bit more professional as mentioned by weddingcakes above. I’ll look into updating the current ‘about me’ and see if I can make it clearer without the jibber-jabber. Thanks again for your feedback, I really appreciate the time you take out to post your views on my website. ??

@ justbishop.
Thanks for the fast reply justbishop. It’s been a while since we had the ‘about me’ text like so and we’ve never really had any complaints about it. What part of it did you find confusing?

Also, was it the size of the advert that put you off or the fact that there was an advert there? I don’t get much traffic and that block barely helps me pay off the hosting but I could definitely try out other places on the blog. Thanks again for taking time out to reply. Really appreciate it.

@weddingcakes.
Thank you for your reply. I’m the only writer on the blog at the moment and having to make a post everyday to keep the traffic stable means I don’t usually have time to resize thirty to fourty images on each post. Are there any plugins that allow me to resize the images upon upload? As for the sidebar, I’ve already got a few social media icons and I’m not sure what else I could add there. Perhaps a facebook connect widget? Again, thanks for taking time out to reply.
