My new daily humour blog, "Da Troot" is up

[Orgull]

Hello, first time poster here.

My new daily humour blog, "Da Troot" is up and ready to enjoy.

Any comments and criticism would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Orgull,

First let me say I like your blog. I read a few posts and did find it quite humorous. You are definately off the right start. I think if you want this to turn into something great however you should definately download a new template. The Black background with white text doesn't exactly go hand in hand with a humor blog and may turn some people off. At the very least make a header for your blog.

That being said if you keep going at the rate you are and update regularily I think you're onto a successfull blog.

Good luck and thanks for joining the forums.

Thanks for the encouragement.

When you say "header", how exaclty do you mean that?

[Bloggeries]

What I am refering to is:

Popular Fiction


Daily Humour, True Stories and Recommendations of Popular Fiction


That part of your blog up top. I would try and put an image up there something brandable. Almost all new blogs just have some text up top. Take the time to make it unique. People will remember your blog better, think it's more professional and be more likely to bookmark it.


I just laughed at the crazy person on the bus is you.

Ah yes that makes good sense. I'm not much of a visual artist but perhaps I can get a friend to put something together for me. I'll look into that as soon as I've got my content and direction firmly settled. As you can see, I'm still experimenting, trying to find the right feel.

Thanks for the advice!

I like it, and think the blue looks good.

I didn't really understand the whole RPG thing. Is that supposed to be humor? I think your blog could be better with a slightly better theme as Bloggeries mentioned.

Welcome to the forums.

I also enjoyed the posts I read. I think you should consider a better theme, though. I also would 'spice up' the side bar a little with some better widgets, and I would move your AdSense to either your side bar, or underneath your posts. Having it above everything looks a bit 'spammy'. You are off to a nice start, though. Again, I really enjoyed your posts.

I looked around and things are off to a good start. Is there a reason you opted to show only one post on the main screen?

Hi,

Just wanted to make a quick remark,

You blog is about humor yet your current "this is how I would like my game" type of
post is out of your blog focus.

I think if you stick to your theme "humor, and getting people to laugh"
you will experience more success with your blog.
