Smile Games & tech podcast blog

I have started a new blog that covers the release of podcasts following game and technology. You can see when new episodes come out from the bigger podcasters out there and have a place to discuss episodes. I have a limited number of podcasts I cover at the moment, but I provide information about what is talked about in each episode, as well as providing a little commentary.

Take a look, let me know what you think and any suggestions would be great.

Cheers.

Theme looks great .. really suits the content and looks very clean and well set up. Writing style is nice a informal .. seems to suit the subject even though I personally have no idea what you're talking about (probably my age and location more than the content ;-))

I'm not a big fan of light blue headings .. a bit wishy washy for my taste so you might want to brighten up the title font colour .. aside from that the colours work well.

Maybe move the 'About' text higher up to make it a bit more prominent? And add a page about you to personalise it a bit? Finally you might want to cut down the number of posts on the main page. Quite a bit of scrolling as it is.

tamitellsall- Yeah, I will get one up about WOW next.

ianpeatey- Thanks for your comments, really helpful and constructive. I'll take a look at alternatives to the blue and reducing the main page post count. As for the about stuff I don't want to make it a personal as such so I think I will keep personal info off. Great input though.

Much appreciated!

I like your overall look. Your content is not my cup of tea, but I dig your blog theme.

I just checked out your podcast of what's new with WOW. I loved it. Great job finding a great video for WOW. There are so many un-professional ones on Youtube.

Looks very nice, very professional, good quality links.

It would be nice to provide a "tags" link or some way to see how many articles you have on each video games and each subject. It's always to just show your user what's there than forcing them to search for it.

That's a great point. I provide clickable tags at the bottom of every post for that, but there must be a better and more noticeable way to provide access to that stuff.
