Website feedback time!
I've been here long enough so let the FEEDBACK begin!!!
I intend to follow the rules to the tee of course. I have left feedback on some sites but not 250 words. I will get right on that.
Thank you WA affiliates for your encouragement, patience, training, support, help, and now it's time to "hit me with your best shot!" I really wanted to have that playing in the background but read that it's not the best idea.
Special thanks to Kyle and Carson, Jay, Nathaniel (the man who's page led me to WA), and all of you who have been so great in this WA community. Then my wife Debbie puts up with me being on here so much.....thanks Babe
Of course the site is still and always will be in the making. Here is my domain:
Thanks again, Jim

Hi Jim, I just commented on yr site, hopefully this time it is ok as I didn't receive any error wrong captcha. If still not ok, let me know and I will gladly do it. God bless you!!
It took a while, but there's still much to do. Harold gave me some good info, and I may go with another theme. Thanks for all your help, you've really been great. I'll answer what you wrote tomorrow.. Blessings....

Thanks Alvin, I'll be working more on that. I really appreciate it. I have 2 busy days where I may not be on the computer so yes, that does help.....thank you, I'll get on it ASAP
I think Harry has got you covered, but there is one thing that he didn't mention: your pages (not your posts) are quite short, they lack pictures, and I don't exactly see the purpose of them. And that's all I can think of right now. I hope that helps!
Hi Jim & Debbie
I'm sitting here in sunny Andalucia looking at your overeasy web site, and dreading coming home to the UK on Thursday. The products you've chosen to promote are really appropriate for the weather that is forecast for the Uk; and, for those that live on the eatern seaboard of th US too: great site, I like it! Live long and Prosper!
Thank you Ian, that means a lot, now spend a paycheck or 2 :-) just serious......you know a mean that, heck, I'm looking for my first sale now....:-)
Hi keyman, like your site, it's looking good, but maybe one or two things may improve its appearance.
I think your banner head is too wide, it seems to dominate your site. Depending on the flexibility of your theme, personally, I would set an overall width for your site and reduce your banner to that width, then set a width for your the main body text, this will ensure everything is contained in that width, giving the site a more consistent look, the remaining width will become your right sidebar.
Proper use of white space greatly improves the look of a website but I think yours has too much. By implementing the above and putting in a background, this can be a color or an image, this can be reduced.
I've also noticed the "ON ICE" in your banner is hardly legible in the position it's in, why not make the color white and embolden it?
Another thing I feel may improve the appearance of your site is to standardize headings and text. At the moment some headings are in caps and others in caps and lower case. If using lower case I find capitalizing each word looks better. Also it isn't good typography to carry a single word over in a heading:
Who is likely to fall on
ice?
I think this would look better:
Who Is Likely
To Fall On Ice?
With regards to text, some is ranged left and others centered. Typos have already been mentioned but hyphenated words should only ever be used when text is justified, never when ranged left, right or centered.
I don't know what theme you are using but by customizing it using the stylesheet you can standardize all your headings, H1, H2, etc, text, unordered lists, ordered lists and anything else you wish, providing your theme allows it. This will give consistency to every page or post you publish on your site.
I use the Empo theme by Anarial Design, which is in the public domain. If you look at it then look at my site: http://www.safeweightloss4all.com, you can see how much it is possible to customize a theme.
Hope this helps. If you're not sure, let me know what theme you're using and I'll have a look at it and see if I can be of any further help.
Wow. Thanks so much Harry, I really haven't learned the style sheet yet, but I will. Great advice, really appreciate it. I want it to look great. I will look at your site and try mine with the Empo theme too. I was advised to used a simple theme first time out. I started with 2014 and moved to 2012. Actually I started with a very difficult theme for a newbie, then went to 2014, then 2012. You helped a lot, thank you.
Jim

At last, your website is out, Jim. :) I am very happy for you. :) Will comment on yr site asap. Take care, my friend. :)
Yes, Jim, I just commented on yr site but it gives me a "ERROR: Wrong CAPTCHA" reply, pls check if you have received my comments. Thanks!!
No :-( I didn't see your comments. When you get a chance, can you try again. I'm really sorry for your time. Others didn't have a problem so I don't know what happened. I know u know how to write captchas. I'm gonna go back and check that plugin. Thanks ! You're a Jewel.
Very unique web site. What a niche. Ice not a problem where I live, but a real problem for some folks. good luck.

Website looks great like your play on words with the domain name when I saw it on your blog it made me curious, seems like a good niche too. Wishing you the best.
