Default Pretty much my life... In a blog

I was wondering if anyone wanted to tell me what they think about my site, it is a pretty much life cast from a teens perspective with a few rants here and there. I designed the theme myself. Tyler Graffam

A few suggestions.

- change your permalinks to text instead of the current default one.
- add some categories for your popular topics
- add some images of any kind
- maybe change the title (top of the page) to something more commonly searched?

Good work so far and good luck,

Ha, yeah. My theme does need some work... It was my first theme I ever made, and I was looking for something simple, I might add a couple of comic strip images (my comic strips of course) to the header. Although

That would come in use in any other situation but myself... Because the blog was started because I started a chat related community and grew it from that. So, when I left the chat, people could still keep up with what I was doing. I guess I am not looking for lots of traffic, just looking for solid, steady traffic. Am I making any sense?

Anyways thanks for the advice.

Thanks? I think... I guess I should just start over on the theme... It kind of does suck. Whatever. I made the theme in one day, and I am horrible with php, so I could probably do better. I will change the color of the links, I will probably add an image. I will ad the description to the left, delete the bottom border on the header. But, I can not change the margins because! I use I think li{ float:left; margin: 0 0 0 7 because otherwise my navigational bar would be messed up. I guess I could put the pages on the sidebar... I might... Oh well! I will make some changes when I find the time...

I agree about the color and images as well. But overall it is off to a good start. They have a lot of free templates for blogs to choose from too.

Okay I fixed my theme. I fixed a lot of things that you guys said too! Hope you guys like it. I use google chrome as my web browser, and I know things can change between web browsers, so if anything is clearly messed up. I am sure that its just my browser (or I am really slow ;].)

I think you need a new background or something - it's kind of blah... For being a teenager, you've done a good job. I think it's great to speak your mind. When I was your age my only outlet for that was my spiral notebook that has since been lost. *sigh* I think you're doing a great thing. Change you're look a little bit, keep speaking what's on your mind, and I think you're right on track. Good luck!

Haha thanks! Yeah, my background is still kind of life blah! I was thinking about making it purple... Could be a bad idea though... Oh well! I really like speaking my mind.
