Jeannette, thanks for sharing. Nice site you have. I left a comment for you.

Thanks so much!

I love what you are doing here. You're so enthusiastic with your writing. You may want to check your links on the getting started page they go nowhere.

Yeah.. the link was kind of a tester while I'm revamping my site theme. Trying to get some time in between taking care of the kiddos

It looks great, I love the outline and colors. I think it's easy to ignore a site when there's a big picture at the top, the first thing that draws peoples attention should be actual content. I like the idea of having the quote, but maybe it'd be better in the widget area on the right?

That's just me, what works for you may be different. ;) It's a wonderful site so far.

Good work, you write very well. Keep it up!

thank you!

Think you have a good start, I'm finding that the best for me is to keeping coming back to each page after a few days and review and edit out the long winded stuff and try to make it more reader friendly and spark their interest.

I do that as well. Not so tough to do when I only get a few moments a few days a week!

Yeah, know what you mean, my site is a work in progress.

I liked reading what you wrote! I would change the very top of the website. Maybe center the picture that is to the left? It just seems a bit off. I would also mention up at the top what you'll be talking about. I wasn't sure where you were going with the post. Great start though!

Agree. :) I was going to mention the top picture too, it did distract me, but I think the choice and saying of the pic are great!

Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out how to center that pic on the top. this site theme has proven very difficult to work with. Thanks for the input, greatly appreciated!

Congrats for the site, looks great! :)

I'm a newbie too, so I can't give you expert advice, but I have a great eye for aesthetics (my field for years) and have a few notes you can consider:

-1st thing that caught my eye, was your header's font. It did not flow well with your theme, which has 2 fonts that are more classic. The font chosen for your headers appears less professional. I would go for one that is like either 1 of the 2 you prefer from your theme.

-2nd Strangely enough, I don't like a bunch of ads everywhere, but I would add an ad. I did not get that you were talking about WA, not even with the ad, since the name is not mentioned in the text. (on the ''Getting Started'' page). Forgive me if that was intentional.

-3rd I like the cartoons you found to fit the title or thought of the page. I would maybe try to find more and use them instead of the other pictures, again, just for a nice flow and constancy from page to page.

I should have started by saying I like your theme, I like your honest and user friendly way of writing. It's personal and makes us feel like we can connect with your story and go: ''Oh I'm a mom too, I can do this, I'll sign up''! :)

If you would like a new comment on your page, I'll gladly help! Just let me know which page you would like me commenting on, it'll be super positive of course and enticing so your readers join WA! ;)

Thanks so much for the great input! The font on the header theme and menu is still a work in progress.. this site theme is not as user friendly as I need I to be at this point! I'm glad you like the pics.. I was afraid of overkill, so I held back on a few more that I had.

Woo-ho, totally different site, looks great! You must have been working like crazy since yesterday?! Well it's definitely going to pay off, congrats! :)

Thanks for noticing! I gave up on the other one.. This one in the long run gave me the same trouble, but I caved and just upgraded my membership to upgrade the site. It'll be worth it, when all is said and done!

Jeannette, I think it looks good and you are very witty, and I like that, keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot!

You have some great stuff "Scamming robot" lol, "I'm a mommy in my spare time", your so funny! I would suggest that you put your website link above like this, because I almost typed where is your website. Your site also looks really good.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

The "peak at Santa" made me smile - Your writing makes the website come alive - it's personal and easy to identify with. Plenty of white space makes it easy to keep reading. It looks good!

You might want to consider re-organizing your pages in the list at the bottom of your website - put the most important ones first and the customary ones (blog, about me, etc.) toward the bottom of the list.

As a reader, I want to see the good stuff first and since I need to read fast and get back to my own web-work (ha-ha) I don't want to have to pass blog to find easy-as-one-two-three.

Thanks so much for your input! The menu at the top is the only one I've been able to organize thus far.. the theme layout I chose is proving to be difficult to manipulate and organize the way I want to. Makes sense what you're saying, I view sites the same way!
