One thing some people new to WA struggle with is choosing the right theme. This does not have to be as difficult as people make it. Once you have figured your niche your theme should follow. Having the right theme gives visitors their first impression of what your website.

If you wold like to leave a link to your website below. I will give you some feedback on the overall look and make some small suggestions.

Thank You for viewing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful information. Yes, I have been struggling to choose the right theme especially as they come with so many distinctive designs with technical jargon that I really don't understand. Very much a newbie to this industry lol

I am choosing a holistic niche that has many sub-niches (mind, body, spirit). Do you have any recommendations for this type of theme?

Choose something that resonates with you. The look and feel should represent your vision.

The theme is someyhing you can change later on, so please don´t get stuck on that for to long :) Most important is to start putting ut content.

Have not really any experience in that niche but would suggest you pick a theme that you like and are satisfied with, the design part of things you can fix over time,

Personally, am a big fan of simple themes with white background and not to "hyped" if you know what I mean, that way the reader will have a easier time to find on your site and take the actions you want them to take on it.

Hope that helps?

/We speak again soon

http://seekingathomebusiness.com The have a few banners ads on the side widget is a little small. Think of looking into a larger one, I personally try not to go below a 250 x 250. I also only place ads only, you have the WA banner in a few places places.

http://lifewithtype1diabetes.com is a great niche. As a paramedic for many years I have seen a lot more information over the last few years on the subject. The site looks great with a few minor things.
Also you have the social media button on the side and the footer. I would only use one. The footer is a good idea because many people look for these. Now they need to scroll your whole page to see what else you offer

Both sites overall are neat and clear. I am a little OCD at time and like things in order that are easy to navigate.

The colors looks good and work well together. A few small things to work on. Im not sure what theme you are using off hand. However, you have no real standout header. The section on the right "Forever Looking Young – “look ten years younger at the cellular level” think of dropping "look ten years younger at the cellular level". You already have it on the left side which I believe will become your main sidebar.
The only other think I noticed was the images on the "Acne Scars On Skin" post overtake the text and leave a few words out hanging. Edit the image so it is to the left or right of the text.

Take a look at this post and see how the baby at the computer is placed.

Look good overall. Add some personality to the header text. Try going to cooltext.com or flamingtext.com and get a few ideas. Also try to balance the footer. It looks off balance with everything on one side.

how do you change the header text? Like, mom's korner, etc? I've looked around on my customize area and dashboard and I can't seem to find where to do this...

John, the site looks great. I love the organization, it neat and clean. I only have a few small suggestions. The footer repeats the side bar. I would leave "Categories" on the sidebar.
The "About Me' and "Contact Us" I would also move to the sidebar. Finally look for a bigger WA ad.

International Conversations: Overall the welcome message was inviting. Like I say in the video. I will give you my opinion and maybe some suggestions.
By looking at the website it looks good. The color and the logo work great together.
The few things I feel need work is all the ads in the footer area. They vary in sizes and look totally disorganized. Also the adds placed on the end on each post are different sized. Think of adding some that are the same wide as the text.

Rods marketing Site: The This one needs some work on the home page. The colors work good if you are trying to promote the Kindle. The front page appears cluttered. with no images to break things up. I would also have the url match the title of the site.

Stop by here and get a few ideas of some thing simple a base that may help.
