My New Blog


everybody

I just created my blog yesterday about Internet Tools.
I love finding and bookmarking useful internet tools. Nifty little things that you can use here and there.

So I wanted to see what you all think about it. Like I said, I just started it yesterday, and so far I've only reviewed two tools.

Please check it out and let me know what you think

Internet Tools Blog

You can find out more about it by clicking "About" at the top, or by reading my "Welcome" post.

Regards,
Nick

Re: My New Blog


Could be useful Yeh it's a little plain, I think a small decoration in the header would not go amiss.

Re: My New Blog


Thanks for the feedback, guys

When it comes to graphics -- you may as well call me the Anti-Christ

I was thinking that remaining plain and simple would be good. LOL

Any recommendations on some specific ideas for sprucing up the header or anything?

Caddyman, this is what the favicon is supposed to be:
http://internettoolsblog.eagleconnec...eaderimage.png
I originally had that in the header, but it doesn't match.

And obviously, the favicon was greatly distorted when generating it. I am going to fix it.

Do you think that favicon is suitable for the site? I didn't really put much thought into it. This is why I'm asking for feedback

Re: My New Blog

Re: My New Blog


Well EagleConnections.net is the domain I have that is suitable to use, so I added the sub-domain and put the blog there.
It's really long and I'm not sure what I'm going to to do about that other than buy a whole new domain.

Re: My New Blog


Like I said, I am certainly a dud when it comes to graphics.

What do you think of something like this for the header?
globelogo.jpg

It combines the concepts of "finding" and internet "tools".



(Note that the actual image isn't that low of quality. It lost quality by uploading it here as an attachment)

Lol.

So other than that, you think it'd be fine?
