Hi Chelle
You have changed your blog drastically since I reviewed it last! If I remember correctly you broke every rule in the blog design book. I gave you one of the lowest rating every.
I’m amazed to see how well you pulled your blog together. Everything is perfect your new header and the whole theme of your blog’s design blends flawlessly.
I don’t have any advice on how you can make your blog better. on a scale of 1-10 I would have to give your blog a 10! Great job P.S Your blog is the first one I have rated a 10. I will be visiting your blog more often.

Hi Brittany

*** Apologies for the red arrows it’s something new that I’m trying, some times my readers don’t know what elements of the page I’m describing in the review.***
I love your blogs design the graphics are sharp. The look and feel is consistent through out the complete blog.
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. Change the “hear” button on the header of your blog to “music” ( site visitors will not be sure if they will hear a speech or music. )
2. The header area of your blog should stand out the most on your site, but it can’t compete with the side bars of your site.
3. The graphic buttons on your side bar should standout more. ( you can achieve this by fading the graphics in the sidebar, this would also be less of a distraction to visitors trying to read your posts)
4. Same advice I gave for number three.
5. The images in your posts should following similar sizing methods to stay consistent.

Hi Tanya
You have a clean blog design. and you have some beautiful images of animals on your page.
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. The Header is clean but could use some color to make it stand out from the rest of the site.
2. I found it some what confusing to navigate your site. You should place some navigation in this area.
3. I like these pick put perhaps some consistent order would help the look of your blog.
4. The image of the bird should be schanged and you should use one of your baby pictures with the elephants. ( this would bring a personal touch to your blog. It would also connect with the diary theme.
5. I noticed some images too close to your text, also the images don’t seem to follow a pattern. If you keep the sizing some what consistent it would help the design.

Hi Wendy

You have a nice blog design the text is readable and the links are evenly spaced.
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. The placement of the navigation is not too bad but the colors have to go.
2. You header needs some serious work. It is too plain and people won’t remember it. ( the header should draw people into the blog)
3. I would move the rss tags some where else.
4. You should move those chicklets to the bottom of your blog. ( they make your blog look busy)
5. You remove the banner and ad lower on the page.
6. You should remove those links, you could make better use of that space,
besides they are the same as the main navigation.
7. There are too many widgets, I would replace the recent readers with recent posts.

Hi bloggernoob
bloggernoob.com
When I first came accross your blog I had no idea that it was a make money blog. I guess in part because I the strange looking baby that you had for a header image. The funny thing is because your header design had nothing to do with making money it made me read your blog. What I like about the header design is you took an unattractive image and have made it your brand. ( the image communicates that you have an different twist on the way you talk about making money on your blog.)
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. You can go up a size or two on the navigation.
I think bloggernoob should be in the header ( so many other blogs are using make money blog in their headers images. people may judge you before they read your blog).
2. You should limit those ad spots to 4 in one location.
3. You can use this empty space to break up that long line of ads.
4. The entrecard widget should be below the content. ( make other bloggers have to scroll your content to reach it they may read something)
5. You should go two sizes bigger on your post images.
6. The content links are submerged under the ads ( It gives the impression that the ads are more important than the content, even if that’s true. Don’t let the visitors know.)
7. There are too many widgets I would put them in the blogs footer.

Hi Robin

You have a clean blog design the text is readable and the links are evenly spaced.
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. You need a header image to draw in readers. ( a blogs header is similar to a book cover.)
2. I’m not sure if the food nation icon is a logo. ( if it is a logo perhaps you could enlarge it and make it your header)
3. The ad to the right of your blog is warped, also some real images of fruit would make it more tempting to click.
4. This image makes your blog look like a pharmaceutical blog. ( some pictures of real fruit would make your blog more eco friendly)
5. You should move the health tip of the day widget to the top of the blog, and replace the blue color with an earth tone color.
6. Many of your posts don’t have images the ones that do are not too exciting. ( using empowering lifestyle images of ever day people of all ages riding bikes, running , playing sports etc will give your blog new life.)

Hi debbit
You have a nice blog the type is readable and the design is simple.
Things that would make your blog’s design better.
1. Remove the green and blue pattern at the top of the blog.
2. You should design or have a graphic artist design a interesting logo. ( the header is the first thing a new visitor will notice on your blog make it memorable.
3. Visitors will have to strain to see the Alzheimer’s ad at the top of your page make it stand out more.
4. The ads are cool but they distract from your sites content.
5. Get rid of all of the little chicklets they will distract readers from your blog.
6. You have too many ads on your site I counted about 14 ads in total. please trim this number down. you have some great content buried under all of these ads. (visitors will make a snap judgement about you based on your ads).
