Just about 30 days into it...

Hi there,

Hope everyone is well

I have a little favor to ask... Feedback is King, right? I would truly appreciate any thoughts and comments on my site to-date, as I do not want to get to much further into Tier-2/Tier-3's if I am going about it all wrong.

I believe that I am on the right track...any helpful pointers will do!

Thanks in advance,

Hi Kerry,

I think your website concept, design, and overall look is great.

The only thing I noticed is the content of the homepage is centered, but all the other pages are adjusted to the left. For some reason, I don't like centered content, but maybe that's just me

Everything else looks great

Great Job!

Thanks for the note

I am still experimenting with formating so this is great feedback- do anyone else find a better user experience with "centered"?

Hugs and Kisses,

I agree with Sherif. Left-aligned always looks more professional to me. Good job on everything else though!

Thank you for the tip Lisa! In your opinion, when faced with situations such as this- would you started tweeking/perfecting the look of your site as you go along (such as spending time to format things properly-LOL) or just keep building content so the engines start to pick me up sooner then later?

Hugs,

Actually I would recommend both!

This is an ongoing process.

Point well taken! Tonight I made some changes and added a new page as well. The block by block editor (SBI) has its "limitations" though, as I am not as proficient in HTML as I would like to be...

I can see how I will quickly I will grow impatient and want to graduate to "big girl" software to make my own pages. Any thoughts on the different applications out there?

Thanks in advance,

I would definitely recommend Dreamweaver. That's what I used to redesign my SBI! site. It's pricey but well worth the time to learn. I bought Dreamweaver for Dummies to help me out. LOL

Kerry,

Take your time with learning html/Dreamweaver, because your SBI site looks great

Thanks Sherif,

Let me tell you between a full time career and a 5 yr old- staying up to 2am each night working my positive energy on this site is rough...LOL! Do all webmasters have bags under their eyes?

In any case, I want to be able to produce at least 2 pages a day over next 30 days- so feel free to check it out every so often and see if I am making any big bobos!

Thanks again!

Hi Kerry

Like your site!

Kerry · #12 (**permalink**) 03-28-2008, 06:11 PM

Hi Star,

Thanks for the compliment! You are just what I was looking for..."a shooting star"...tee hee- as I have been thinking of trying pilates!!! I will be sure to explore your site.

Quick silly question- Google Search bar?...can i get one of those before i sign for adsense?

Thanks Again!

In my experience, yes... bags under the eyes are quite common

I have heavily invested in the eye cream industry (lol).

It's really awesome to have a goal like that. If you stick to that goal, and also spend some time marketing/networking your site, your site will be a house-hold name in no time!

Keep up the great work!

Ha ha...I decided to give myself tomorrow off...so I created 6 new pages today and started a blog.

I'm crazy-LOL!

Tell you one thing, I absolutely love this process (as exhausted as I am) and being a persistent Scorpio- I suspect that this may very well be my calling!

Only time will tell

Hugs,

Star · #15 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 08:38 AM

I signed up to adsense so I don't know if there is another way to get the Google search bar.

Pilates - don't be silly - you don't have time!! Just kidding.

My left eye is always twitching these days I have never stared at a computer
so much in my life.
