Damn! I keep seeing this awesomely beautiful design everyday.
And it bores me so.
Hey, it’s mine…LOL. Where did you get the inspiration to use ‘thou shall blog’ anyway?
Yes, first impression counts, especially so if you’ve only got 10 seconds to impress.
Thanks, James. Appreciate it anyhow.

Hi Yan,
It is how to the information is displayed. Having a big RSS button, including your top information at the top of the site.
Design helps but it is the ease of use and navigation that is very important.
Nice idea!!! I’ll follow this idea to optimize my blog. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hey Dollar Dude,
This is a logical approach to web design.
The information needs to be made clear.
Thanks for visiting.
There will be more great videos coming shortly.
Hi James,
I see that you liked to make more videos. What camera did you use? Are you using a Mino? I like the video, by the way, what did you think about my new home page? besides the few errors that you already know, lol.
I really want to know your opinion. Did you think the site it is slow?
I also have think in removing the 125 ad from money makers and hostings and use only text links, I think this can help to increase the loading speed.
Any more of your suggestions on how to improve my homepage appearance?
Thanks,
Luis
Hi Luis,
The camera is a standard Sony DV camera, nothing expensive it cost about £100 thats $200.
You can use a video camera feature on the digital camera.
Your site loads fine, from where I am. The banners shouldn’t be in the top fold of the site. Unless they are paying you more for the ads closer to the top.
Have your important messages above the fold.But promote your blog first before anyone else.
For a more detailed review, aim to win the 30 minute consultation and I’ll tell you more.
