I am willing to take and would appreciate any constructive criticisms about my new blog.

Thanks for the opportunity,

Shane

It might be challenging because my blog is about writing, so it’s non-tech.

This was a great project, by the way.

DadBloggers is a collaborative blog that gives the male perspective on parenting.

We’re trying to balance the audio and visual content well while still having something worthwhile to see onscreen.

Avoiding issues of clutter while connecting and wooing visitors further into the site.

Should we add more traditional “blog” features? And we need to find good monetising options too.

We’ve been “live” since October ’06, posting weekly since February ’07 and, although the feed-readers at 450/day, site visits remain at under 100people/week.

Would love to hear from the pro-blogger community.

We are really passionate about the message that we are trying convey – That you can live a positive life on a low income and change your habits to be kinder on the planet.

We’ve put that to the test by giving up our jobs and moving to a very isolated block of land, with almost no money and no house!

So far we are up to about 70 unique visitors a day, but it’s early days yet. I think we’ve probably made a bunch of classic beginner mistakes, but we are very keen to get this right, there are not many options for us to make a modest income out here, but blogging is one of them.

Thank you.

It might be challenging because my blog is about writing, so it’s non-tech.

This was a great project, by the way.

I started the site back in February of this year using Drupal. I have since switched to WordPress in the last month. I have leared a lot from reading Problogger, Daily Blog Tips, John Chow, Yaro, etc. but I haven’t made the traffic or income break throughs that I had hoped I would by now.

I think a community review would shed some light on some of the short commings of my blog and find new ways to improve that I haven’t noticed yet.

I also don’t think a site which is getting 500+ uniques, really needs much help in comparison to many others.

It’s not mine, but my suggestion would be Dietriffic. I know the owner, and although the site has great info, it’s not driving great traffic.

Maybe I am getting too used to my sites layout as there have not been many alterations over the last 6 months. Would like to make it look and feel fresh. Any feedback would be welcome.

However, for future editions of these community projects, I’d like to see more “blog” oriented sites. Sourcebench, maybe unintentially, felt commercial and more of a website than someone’s blog on a particular subject.

While Problogger is a site that helps everyone with tips and information that helps improve their blogging, it still remains that feel that it is just Darren’s blog giving us his opinion on topics.

Sourcebench felt more like a code dump site with tutorials and code snippets, with few blog-like qualities in my opinion.

As for offering my site for review, I’d rather keep mine out of it for the time being. I’m still using Blogger’s free hosting and, while I’m getting some okay traffic for a new blog (200ish per day), I’m still trying to find time to work on the base template while keeping up with my posts. I don’t feel I would be able to implement half the advice I would receive from the ProBlogger community at the pace I am currently adding template changes to my site.

However, maybe some time in the future, if this project is still going and I have my own hosting solutions and time to implement the amount of suggestions the community would offer, I will throw my hat into the ring.

The blog is about building a community for my Martial Arts style across the globe.

Unfortunately, even though I blog every couple of days, I’m still “technically challenged” when it comes to creating an original design or adding other unique features.

For what it’s worth, you are always welcome to critique my blog. As always, thanks for the “free” advice, especially for us new bloggers.

First, I just wanted to say ‘wow!’ – you folks have developed a great sense of community here, and the amount of quality information is impressive.

I would be very grateful to see what you think of my blog, david in manhattan.

I am having a tough time getting traffic, so any thoughts there would be great also!

Whilst I hate anything of mine being critiqued, I know it’s good for me! So would love to throw my blog http://www.lipliving.com into the ring for a critique.

It started off as more of a hobby – diarising the journey my husband and I are since we left the UK earlier this year to travel permanently and run our business at the same time – aka working nomads aka location independent professionals aka remote workers!

Since Tim Ferriss’s book, our concept seems to be more popular and so I re-jigged the blog (using Typepad currently, considering the switch to wordpress as I type) to appeal to the greater voume of traffic – and also to help launch my own book about our experiences.

Any & all feedback welcome…

Thanks, all!
