Looking good to me. Spacing is fine and the photos are nice and central. If you want to nit-pick.. maybe the blue font on the title doesn't work with the background picture. |

All looks very nice. I think it is a good idea to limit the front page to the three most recent posts. If you double tap on a picture, you can push it to the left or right of the scree and then have some wrap round text. It works better when the post is text heavy. |

While I like the image in the background, it does make the words hard to read on my phone. Maybe it is not so bad on a computer. Matthew |

Learn how to insert "Read more .." links so your front page has more to offer the casual browser. PS the photos could do with being about twice the size. -- Martin Stephenson The Waving Flag | Twitter | eBay |

Thanks all, thats very helpful, not sure what the "Read More" links are can you expand? or point me at the how to page? Sorry im not very IT literate |

Also as regards the photos is it better to increase their size as Vexillia has suggested, as they do enlarge if you click on them and i thought that would be motre user friendly than having large photos that could slow down the page? |

not sure what the "Read More" links are can you expand? or point me at the how to page? link :-) they do enlarge if you click on Yours are so small you must click on them to see them. -- Martin Stephenson The Waving Flag | Twitter | eBay |

Thanks Vexillia, point taken re: size of photos, I'll see if i can edit them to be a little larger, and thanks for the link :) |

I agree the blue font on that black and white background is very difficult to read. I would suggest trying some other color. |

Other than the blue font, everything looks pretty groovy. Good luck! |

Add a "followers" widget! the only thing I can seem to find is a gadget that allows followers to follow posts via e-mail, is this what you mean?
