Hello! I'm developing a tech blog (over the past few weeks) and i'm just adding content everyday now. How do you find it, is it clean, is it attractive and is it useful?

Thanks for your feedback guys!

Hey CoolNow!

I read your post yesterday and went to check out your blog and got sidetracked reading the "64 Things Geek Should Know" post, especially the article on how to kill a computer and didn't make it back here. Sorry!

Clearly it's interesting! And keeps readers glued.

If it was me, I'd shrink the Adsense and stuff down the right because it takes up half the screen. The meat on the right should have more weight.

Don't forget to proofread every post! It affects your credibility.

In this post:

Quote:
Starting websites nowadays requires little to no effort whatsoever. With free webhosting, you don’t even pay a penny. In this post, I will talk about the different free webhosts you can use and the different software you can use to make the most out of your online presence.
It starts out just fine, but as you're reading along you get to the "In this post, I will talk about..." part and it's like you, the reader, hit a big bump in the road. Instead of slipping up your reader, you could have written something like:

[Note: Starting a website does take effort - how about we say it's "easier than ever" instead?

Nowadays, building a website is easier than ever and with free webhosting and tools available, you won't even have to pay a penny to quickly and easily create your own online presence.

[I know... It's still weak but you see how it flows?]

Ok... Your headlines bug me. Important words should be capitalized - "How to Start Your Own Website," "Remove 99% of All Malware with One Program," - and the words in between (a, an, and, for, of, to, the, etc.) shouldn't be.

[I love MalwareBytes! I did the free trial weeks ago and it removed a bunch of junk that had snuck past my firewall]

All in all, I think you're off to a good start with your blog!

Diane

I have not read the content in detail, so this is just a brief overview of what I saw
1) The design theme needs to be changed. This free theme is all over the web, so find something which makes your blog look unique
2) Having a sub domain is bad for SEO, try to move the blog to the root folder
3)Try sticking to the niche. What is MJ doing in a tech blog?
4) Good that you are keeping away the ads.
5) Try to post more articles in a day

Good start

Thanks for your feedback, i really apreciate it! I'm going to shrink the fonts for the ads, as i can't take them down because i'm saving for hosting.

To rajupp, MJ's death was really hard-hitting, so i had to write about it. It's only a one-off, but the legend deserved a post, don't you think

To Diane, thank you very much for taking interest in my articles, I will heed your advice on wrting Headlines from now on. I hope you will visit soon, as I'll be reviewing NOD32 4.0 and Kaspersky 2010 (security suites).

Thank you all for providing feedback, I'm hungry for more

I updated the theme, it looks more professional in my opinion, and i've monetised the site more. Check!
