I don’t think this functionality is included. It’d be a security risk enabling file uploads in comments.

Looks nice & clean.

No About page?

Sidebar – you have ‘random search’ and ‘popular search’ above the link to pages, might be best the other way around. I’d rather see pages than random searches by others.

Wow just what the Internet needs, another get rick quick site!
*rolls eyes*

Theme looks ok.
The Content? the usual internet marketing rubbish.

A few typo’s and grammar issues throughout.

Seriously, lose the horrible pop-up when a visitor tries to go back, it’s just rude.

change the header logo to be a clickable link to your homepage, as most visitors expect to be able to click the header to get back home.

change Bio to About, or add an About

https://edwardcolver.com/?page_id=10 images loaded very slowly and appears they are just scaled down full-size images. These should be thumbnail images instead, they will load a lot quicker and not be strange mis-matched crops like some that currently appear.

update WordPress & theme to a more modern look. WordPress should always be up to date as almost all security breaches are on old versions.

I have a softspot for this theme as one of my first sites used it.

I couldn’t really tell if the site was just purely informational by the homepage articles.

I prefer a simple ‘About’ as I was a bit confused the ‘About’ had your name and not the site name.

I think your sidebar ‘About’ needs to appear above the tags and that little video thingy.

Pages also in menu, not just sidebar.

I think the header and title should go together as the current photo is taking a massive amount of screen real estate.
Black isn’t a very romantic color so maybe make the theme design a little more feminine with more romantic colors and elements.

Impressive amount of features, certainly doesn’t look like a WordPress site but I find the color scheme and graphics make it look like an osCommerce type of site.

The why-travel page needs some photo to help sell the romance of travel, it just seems to be almost business-to-business targeted.

2. Even a change to much more contrasting post title color would make things pop, but if you want to keep a restricted dark palette then something else like size, or maybe slightly different background color on the title text?

3 &4 – Don’t forget blog related traffic will come straight into the post itself rather than the homepage, so you can style your post sidebar, etc to offer exciting links to first-time visitors

I am similar to you in graphic/web designer but I decided to be a bit different and have graphic design site, a web design site, a creativity blog and a tumblr blog.
So I’ve gone too far into splitting everything up but as I blog more about art/design and creativity I’m not wanting to gain clients to web design via that channel.

I don’t particularly recommend my way. heh.

Cheers,

Hi Chris.

It might be the dark theme but I didn’t ‘enjoy’ a casual glance over the page. My eyes didn’t know what to settle on first.

I find the grid style of the 9 posts lost any advantage in organisation as the post title color lacked contrast.

I’m a speed-reader and overall found my usual tricks of lazy-browsing were thwarted as I had no visual clues as to content importance, other than the logo offering up some nice differences in scale. (Sadly ruined by FB status updates. *cries*)

I don’t see any value in the tag presentation style which in effect robbed the design of vital whitespace, or in the case of this theme ‘blackspace’

You’re artist so put some art up centre-stage and point a bloody big spot-light at it. Don’t hide art away in a grid that looks like little news articles. I was thinking ‘where is his portfolio’?!

Don’t mean to be overly negative just saying it as I see it.

Have fun
Robbie

Are you using Import in the Tools menu?

resolved, suggested to try the following which worked perfectly

ul.blogroll {
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 0;
}

ul.blogroll li {
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

ul.blogroll a {
border: none;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
border: 1px solid;
padding: 1px;
}

oki I’ll give it a shot. My email is robbie at onearmedgraphics dot com

Thanks, the site is the one linked to.
