Pre-Launch Review
Site Name: Tindris
Site Type: Personal Blog
Age: 12 Days Old
Appearance
I would like to start off by complimenting you on your theme. The theme is very sleek and very clean. You have a nice grey background that makes the white body really show out. I also like the snowflake effect that you have added into the site. It really gets the site into the christmas theme. You also made your title and slogan to be pretty funny. It is both simple and funny at the same time. You seem to have taken some time to think about your site but the theme could have a bit more color then just gray and white. Try making a theme that really brings out your personality and really shows how much of an internet addict that you claim to be. Also, try making a cool logo with your name in it instead of just using a basic text, that way, it shows the creativity of your site and it will help you grab more attention to your blog and it will also make the readers want to know what it is that your blog has to offer and they will end up learning more about you in the process. So overall, your blog's appearance is pretty good, I would just simply recommend making a theme for your site that will grab the attention of the public.
Layout
The layout of the site seems to be very organized with the sidebar on the right side of the blog that organized the categories, comments, and articles. Using this sidebar to your advantage is very helpful because you can put different articles into different categories of the blog so that the members/audience can find more and more of the articles and content that your blog has to offer. I did notice though that you only have 1 category. I would recommend adding more categories to help organize your blog a bit more. I would recommend adding more categories as soon as possible so that when your blog gets bigger and more popular, you won't have to deal with adding the categories then while having to manage the comments and such. Overall, the layout of the site is very good but I would just take into consideration about adding more categories to organize your articles a bit more so that they aren't all placed in 1 category and it could be a bit hard to find specific ones. Great work on the layout so far though. Keep it up!
First Impressions and Interest
When I first clicked on your site, I was expecting it to be really new with nothing much that would grab my attention but to my surprise, I was wrong. Your site had caught my attention and I wanted to read an article that you had posted on your blog. Your blog seems to have grabbed my attention even with the theme that you have used on it so far. I was also amazed to see the snowflake effect being used on your site because it made me happy to see that you are getting your site into the winter spirit. I was interested in reading more about you in the blog with the content that you have provided but we will go more in depth about that later. I was also interested in how well your blog seems to have grown with the 12 days that it has been around. I am interested in learning more about how you are an internet addict like you claim to be and I can now visit this site to learn what I want to know. Overall, you have really done well with the first impressions and really captured a good grasp of what you want to do with the blog. Great Job!
Content
So far, you have posted 3 articles about your opinions and about yourself so far and I think that is fine for your site only opened up 12 days ago. I would recommend adding some more when you have the free time and whenever you can because you will always want to keep adding content to it so that you can keep the people's attention when they visit your site. So far, in the recent articles that you have posted so far seems to be very descriptive and it seems to have some good information in it as well and gives the reader some valuable knowledge about you so that they can learn much more about you and what your opinions and thoughts on things are. Overall, you are providing some good information about you to help keep the readers interested and it keeps the readers wanting to read more. I would just recommend adding more articles when you can and make sure that you be very descriptive like you have been so far. Great work so far!
