eatfishy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I created a blog website and most of the basic part is completed already. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks. www.blogoberry.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynew Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The green looks a little too bright on my monitor. The Login and Signup links don't look well on a green background. Maybe give the headings of the columns on the right a little more breathing space or padding? Some of the avatars look a little bright.

eatfishy Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks for your feedback. I did noticed the color was bright when I change my monitor to a different color temperature. Solution: I will give users option to change the coloring/theme to the website. As far as the spacing, I checked a few PC with different resolution on IE + FF and the spacing seems fairly good. What web browser / resolution are you reviewing it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solsearch Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 A small grammatical error: it's 'Our community has', not 'Our community have'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solsearch Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Okay, I'm at work, clicked your link, and got taken to redtube.com ??? So have I, but the link was OK yesterday when I tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Looking at the live headers of the site, it looks abit like (at a glance) the OP has some kind of ad-links and they are highjacking the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ah. Ha being at work though I weren't ready to go looking into the problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatfishy Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I noticed my website was so called hacked with some simple script iinsert and I think the person is probably a registered user here. My website isn't adverstised at all and I know it's someone from this forum who did this to either fully test it out or just doing it to be an a$$. I apologize for the incovience this may cause you and I disable the registration page. The www.blogoberry.com is free of advertisement now. I know ways to get around this problem, but haven't got a chance to work on it yet. Any feedback would be appreicated. Thanks again guys.

eatfishy Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I fixed my website to prevent any inserting malicious code from users. Anyone want to review my website again? I appreciate it. www.blogoberry.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorky Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh my eyes! just kidding. the bg may be i little more of an off white to relax the contrast of all the colors a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatfishy Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 thanks for your honest feed back. Anyone else care to provide feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnoTheDev Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I would add captcha to the registration process and comment post along with email validation. As you publish hard links this is a massive spam target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatfishy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I seen some captcha using image verification, but I hate those things because it's not always clear and it'll take me a few times to get it correct. Anyone recommend using basic math calculation as captcha? I did noticed some minior SPAM already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Anyone recommend using basic math calculation as captcha? Absolutely not. It could be broken in seconds. There are plenty of captchas that are perfectly readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maliha123 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Ummm....I kind of agree with everyone else on the whole color thing. I know you must have heard it a lot, but I just wanted to let you know. Second, I have to admit it looks a bit plain. Maybe you could rearrage your avatars or something to make it more attractive. I don't really uundestand why I get that feeling, but I think it has something to do with your white background maybe. But anyways, other than that it looks pretty good.

eatfishy Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I agree that not everyone like the green color. I will add in personal preference for website color and possibly theme. Do you guys think it's a good idea to link youtube video on the website as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdude100 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi Nice simple design, easy to navigate around, think about adding a capture to your forms, e.g. signup form Also not 100% sure what your website is really about, what about one clear sentence on the front page telling you its purpose? or something along those lines. Other than that nice work, keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just a few ideas: Instead of the men/women icons, you could look into using different images. I know wordpress has a plugin which has random images of avatars. The view results in the poll area would be nice if they showed up on the same page using ajax or some other method. I know its rare, but the following email address is actually considered valid: username.o'surname@email.com -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supwd Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks good, but would change the color green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatfishy Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 What color do you think most people prefer to look at on a website? I'm guessing it's blue because it's easy to read and not too bright. I was thinking of changing to this color as a the default home page and also give user option to select other color. You guys think it's a good idea? I also added a new comment email notification so whenever a new comment is posted, an email will be sent to the original blogger and anyone who commented the blog.

TheFilmGod Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I also added a new comment email notification so whenever a new comment is posted, an email will be sent to the original blogger and anyone who commented the blog. You know how annoying that would be? Especially if someone just posted on that blog to comment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keldorn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Looks good. At some point you should use mod_rewrite and create nice urls for the blog posts and the member profiles. I noticed on a profile page, " [iMG]fish.jpg[/img]". You should filter those out from the preview text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatfishy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 You know how annoying that would be? Especially if someone just posted on that blog to comment... Good point. I should add in some codes where if a user post a comment on that blog, he/she should not receive an email since he/she already post a comment (assuming this person has read the previous comments in the blog) I noticed on a profile page, " ". You should filter those out from the preview text.quote] At first, I actually filter those from the preview text, but some picture may be too big for it to fit in the preview and it'll overlaps the borderline. Another reason, why it wasn't in the preview is because some pictures may be unapproiate and I may not have time to monitor all post. So, the user needs to take additional step to actually view someone else pics. Thanks. I appreciate the feedback everyone =) I just added in CHANGE THEME in the profile section so users have choices of which theme to select from.
