Now that I’ve had this site up and working for a few weeks I have been able to judge it’s effectiveness, design and quality better. Funny how something looks cool at first and then after awhile you can start to see it’s drawbacks.
What that means is
that while I really like the color and overall feel of the template that I’ve started with, I also see some things about it that are not as effective or wow factor or a variety of other things that I want from this site. It is my test site, and I use it for practice and to put stuff up that maybe friends and family and whoever else might want to read. Mostly it’s just for me to work with. However, it seems to me that it should appear and behave as clean and professional as I might want any business site to be.
Let’s face it. Right now if you are trying to get to Blog entries. You have to look for the new content. So I’ve started dropping the most recent articles to the fron page so there’s new stuff there and you might stay and poke around a bit.
I hope to find a template that I like a little better and put it in place. I guess we’ll see how well things migrate when changing templates. This should be fun.
I also hope to find some good news sites to add some news feeds from and make things a little more current on a more regular basis.
I want to start adding advertisements. I know I will need to do that for some other people so I might as well see what happens when I try to set it up. I know, we generally get enough adverts with tv, radio, and the rest of the internet. Then again, like it or not, for many it has really just become a part of life.
I will try to add articles on a more regular basis as well. You may notice that I’ve tried to make the pages a little more navigable by putting in the ‘read more’ option so that you have an idea of the story and can read the rest if you want yet you won’t have to scroll down past long articles to get to the next ones. I hope that helps.
Also, if you are visiting and think there is something that would enhance the site a bit, send me an email and let me know. Sign up for RSS updates so you know when things are happening.
Cheers
