Hi! My name is Fabian Estrada and I have written a sports blog. I am going to be attending Arizona State University and would love it if some Coldplayers would stop on by and read my blog and give me some advice on how to make it better! Thanks a ton everybody!

The first thing I thought when I went onto the blog was that its a bit plain, maybe a different colour scheme or layout, however that depends on who you want your audience to be, I think the younger generations (teenagers, early 20s maybe) would like some more colour and something to make the page standout from any other blog they'd see, whereas if your aiming for a more older audience, I think that they'd wouldn't be too bothered about layout and colours but they'd still want it interesting.

The information provided on the blog is relevant. Maybe you could vary around topics more; like in the 'soccer' (football:P) section, you directly show the latest post with only a small section at the side showing links to other posts in the soccer section. I would suggest having more noticeable links to other posts in that section :).

One more thing, the pages all have the same image (of the lake and woods) towards the top of the page, I'm not a big big sports fan (only keep up to date with manu results) but I can't see the connection, perhaps you could photoshop some silhouettes of footballers, baseball players etc in that space?

 

Hope that helps :)

I'm working on creating a collage of different athletes for the image, I simply haven't gone around to making it yet :/

 

Thanks a ton for your input and for checking out my blog! I really appreciate it, and will definitely get to work on fixing it, because everything you said made sense and was something that was on my mind (especially the colors and the image).

 

I started this blog about a week ago, so there aren't many posts yet. I'm trying to aim for two articles a day, see how that'll pan out. That may be the biggest reason why there aren't many posts on the different sports.

 

I can't thank you enough for the insight and input that you've given me. Thanks a million! :D

also i would try to say something to help you, but i don't know anything about sport...

That picture is hilarious! XD

 

And that's definitely fine, at least you stopped by. The number of views is incredible and it's so clear now that Coldplayers are the best XD

So I fixed up the layout and changed my background! If I could get any opinions that would be great, especially anybody who saw how I used to have it :P

 

Thank you guys so much, you're all awesome!!! XD

I love the new layout!

 

The colours are vibrant and I love the menu drop down bar! The new background is relevant and varies between sport which is great!

 

Fantastic job well done :D

Thank you soooooo much!!! You've been such a tremendous help and I can't thank you enough! XD

 

You're absolutely amazing!

Oh stop :blush:

It's just unfortunate that you follow Manchester United as I'm a Liverpool supporter:P

Thanks to everybody who's stopped by!
