looks good

maybe add a picture in the "about us" page

here is a nice editor plugin
Download ChenPress! - ChenPress | Google Groups
allows you to upload images right to the page like Alissa has done Alissa Sheley - Acrylic on Plexiglass Artist

the good, a large font that is easily readable on a screen ... something many forget. They use tiny little characters and often grey on white.. after 3 mins you're crying like a little girl that lost it's dolly :-) good point to me

Not sure if it is possible, many wp template have a small column style, if you can find the code to widen it a little, might give it a spacier look, on my screen about half the width is just nothing (if I sum up right and left part I mean)

there is also a nice plugin called Lightbox Technologies Inc - Home
"Plugin used to overlay images on the current page into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups."

Use it and it produces nice effect. You load a little image like you do know s thumbnail in the text and when people click on it it shows the full size as overlay... not clutter and page jumps...

And then the title 'Truck Driver Industry News blog for the Latest in Truck Driver Industry News visit now' what does the visit now do there ?? If it is to have keywords .... there are other plugins for WP that allow to actively add them in the code without showing them to visitors... to me this title is a question.... what does he mean ???

hope this helps you.

Thanks Eric,

I tried to go to Lightbox Tech, and did not see anywhere to D/L the plugin. All I saw was the thumbnail pictures you mentioned, and nothing more on that page.

Yea, after re reading the title it does kinda sound like a question, I will get that fixed ASAP.

I will have to look around to try and find out about widening the blog..I may have to switch to another template or something..

But anyways thanks too both of you for the in depth review..:1yes:
