Hello everyone,

Good morning. I need a huge favour.

I recently decided to move my blog away from its original location (http://thekrine..com) to (http://www.thekrine.com).

I used a free Wordpress theme called Max Maagazine to design the site. I have almost zero knowledge of designing sites. The Blogger site was easier to set up (and I believe still looks better) but this new website, which is Wordpress based, had all sorts of codes which led me to work with Google and various forums to get the site to where it is at the moment.

My aim was to arrive at a website that loads fast and is easy to navigate.

Can you be kind enough to visit my wesite http://www.thekrine.com and tell me what you dislike about the site, areas of improvement etc. If you are visiting the site with a mobile phone please remember to disable the mobile view because I need critic of the desktop view.

Finally, can anyone here suggest a better mobile theme for me. Preferably one that will maintain my sites header. The one I've chosen looks extremely dull and it's same result I'm getting from the other themes I've seen.

Looking forward to your responses.

Many thanks

kudos! it appears you did a pretty good job, for a newbie

nothing

areas of improvement etc.

i last visited 2 days ago, so the ones i mention now probably had the strongest impressions on me

1. a better looking header/masthead wouldnt hurt

2. seems you used categories for your menu? kinda makes ur urls look weird ... i woulda used pages for them ...

3. twitter updates and facebook social wouldnt hurt ... or so i think ... (and not the follow links you currently have)

search the plugins directory for a Mobile plugin ... and try them till you find one that works perfectly with your current theme, (or any other theme(s) you fancy)

Looking forward to your responses.

Many thanks

quite surprised the famous bloggers and reviewers we have here are yet to comment ...

cant wait to hear what others have to add.

Thanks Yamakuza,

All the items you listed under areas of improvment bother me too.

Header - After hours of work trying to get that right, I ran off to Microsoft Paint to design and upload what I have there now.

Categories - I used pages initially but got error that "page can't be found" so went to the category way. I must have done something wrong.

Social Updates - I dislike them. I feel they make a site look too clustered and "busy" but I'll have to look into getting them on again. Seek more opinions and if YES wins, I'll get a plugin.

Clearly, I have more work to do. I hope you won't mind me picking your brain/hand on these issues off NL.

Thanks
