erichar11 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi all, I have gotten some really good feedback regarding www.bingnote.com. I have recently added a blog which you can see here www.bingnote.com/blog/index.php. The problem is while it has a consistent look and feel to the original site, something feels off. All comments and suggestions welcome. Please note, titles tags and formatting are all messed up. Working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 It's the subscribe boxes-they don't match the feel of the rest of the site. Maybe that's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichar11 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, the subscribe boxes don't quiet fit. I've already started playing with it a bit. So what about the rest of the blog. Any comments there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichar11 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 ok, changed the subscribe boxes. www.bingnote.com/blog/index.php Let me know if this is better. Any and all comments are welcome. I got a thick skin, so don't worry. I'm just trying to improve the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They still don't fit-the buttons have a glossy look to them, a glossy look that doesn't really fit the rest of the site. Also, you really should put more then just one article per page-it makes for slow browsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichar11 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Moberemk, Not sure what you mean about the glossy feel of the buttons. I want the buttons to have a different look from the rest of the site since they are subscribe buttons. Regarding having multiple posts, I changed it to two posts on the blog home page. The page was getting really long, that's why I changed it to just one originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Maybe so, but here's the thing: the buttons have this glossy, glassy, three-dimensional look to them that is out of place with the rest of the graphics in the design. As for the multiple posts thing, one is small, but two feels sparse; three might work better. Finally, you should take the byline and move it to the left-it seems lonely off the right like that.

erichar11 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Ok, changed the posting to three articles instead of two. Moved the byline to the right instead of the left. I will let this sit for awhile to see reactions. Lastly, I'm still confused on the glassy look of the subscribe buttons. I'm wondering if your talking about all the images (buy now, Most popular, Categories, etc) and not just the scribe buttons. If that's the case, all the header images are the same throughout the site with the exception of the subscribe buttons which are a different color. I guess I'm just not understand the term "glossy" and I don't understand what I would do to not make them so. Thanks for the help though.

moberemk Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It's just, look at them; the white thing at the top makes them look like a glass ball of some kind-do you see what I mean by that? Look at how light reflects off of a marble, for example-that's what you've made it look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichar11 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Ok, that's what I was thinking what you were talking about. Not sure I'm going to change it at the moment. Let me think about it. On another topic, you have been extremely helpful, but for some reason no one else responds to inquires for help or reviews of my sites. I get a lot of people looking at the site, but no comments. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dJtl Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I think everything on the sides need to be redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectran Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Minor thing, the background texture looks like it's been repeated (I know it has). Perhaps sort out the white dots so they are evenly spaced. Pretty picky Apart from that it looks nice, reasonably professional too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTime79 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hi Eric, I would like to build a website that has a photo application that users can upload their photos and manipulate it (e.g. add text). Is their a free web based application (perhaps php based) that is available or you recommend? Thank-you, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
