Would love some feedback on my new blog!

livingstonmedia · 01-28-2008, 11:55 AM

Hi all -

My name is Luke; I just recently launched a new blog at www.realworldreally.com - the tagline is "Helping recent & soon-to-be college graduates make the transition to the Real World". If you have a free minute and could take a look around and provide me with a little feedback on what you like about the site and what could be done to make it more appealing, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the help!

Luke

Hey there Luke! I really like you blog. The layout is great and easy to read and I can really identify with some of the things you wrote. College really doesn't prepare you for a lot of the things in the "real world". Keep up the good work!

i really like the site - it seems like you've got some good content on there, some nice concise well written articles. The only think i might add/change is having a logo of some sort created - or something to spice up the top of the page.. it could use some beautification.

I really like your site, very informative and you're giving solid information! Love the layout as well

I'll be adding you to my blogroll

Thanks so much, everyone! I appreciate your feedback. Anything you think I could do better?

I second getting a logo made. You can find some nice work for fairly cheap that would really spruce it up. Also I'd add more color. My eye automatically goes to the ads because they pop more. You need something to pull people back to the articles.

Just me 2cents.

The content is great from what I read.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I really appreciate it!

I agree that I need a new logo but don't know where to go to get a new one (my budget is slim-to-none). And don't really think I could make a decent looking one on my own. Does any one have any good suggestions?

Thanks again!
Luke

Are you looking to keep the text you have in your logo to be your new logo, if you see what I mean? That would be easy in Photoshop. I am a (mature) Bach Design student here in NZ. I could maybe help you out seeing as your blog is about what it is and it touches a chord, at no cost to you

pm me if you're interested...

Just wanted to let me know that amandajane has made what is, IMHO, a fantastic new logo for my site - please check it out and let me know what you think: www.realworldreally.com

Thank you SO MUCH, Amanda!

You're welcome

Now where's the blushing emoticon? ;0)
