Callatonic Productions

[CommonForte]

Hey everyone....I'm new to the blogging world and just wanted to say that this forum has been extremely helpful. Thank you everyone.

My blog is dedicated to sports and videos. MMA, boxing, football, basketball, etc. Weight Training and nutrition are also covered. I am a video editor and also produce my own packages. You can find my work in the video productions category. I have only posted one of my own videos so far.

My domain is Callatonic Productions

Any feedback on content, layout, and the videos are appreciated.

Hello there, welcome to the blogging world.

I checked your About Us page, are you the only one in Callatonic Productions? You have only one name and email. Put everybody else on there, their titles, names and emails so visitors don't just have one contact option. If it's just you, you should change it to "About" and make everything on the page as referring to you and not a group.

Your about page also looks more like a resume and less of what CP is all about (your goals for the site). If you want a job, wait until your blog has some success and then start submitting stuff to people that you would want to hire you.

"Callatonic Productions is a (forgot the a) small, private company dedicated to video editing, sports, physical fitness and nutrition. There will be weekly posts of interesting sports videos and advice on physical fitness and nutrition. This site will also feature videos produced and edited by Callatonic Productions. Please notify us if you like any videos taken down from this site. If you would like to submit some of your own videos or give any feedback please contact the address below."

The first and third sentence pretty much describe each other. You make and edit videos. When people visit your site, they could determine from you just saying you edit your own videos, that the ones you post, are the ones that you edited.

Judging from the dates of when the videos are posted, you wouldn't need the second sentence. Visitors could see for themselves about how often you update with just checking the post entries.

You have 2 search bars, one at the top and one at the bottom of your sidebar (Google). I believe only one is needed.

You have an ad from Google. If I'm correct in assuming that your About Us page is close to a resume, then I would be close to assuming that you're marketing your background and work. I'm not too sure on the logic behind this, but I heard it is best to pick that either you're either marketing your own skills (as being your product) or marketing someone elses product. Having other advertisements would lead people away from your site, which you don't want.

Try putting more description in to your posts. I like the edited Mayweather promo vid, but I have no idea who these guys are. If I'm not in to what your website is in to, I need an introduction to who, what, where, when and why.

This is just my opinion and I hope it helps. Keep on trying though!

It's taking quite some time to load your blog.

Still loading. 2 minutes in total now.

Still loading. 5 minutes passed already.

Other websites are loading fine.

[CommonForte]

I dunno...thats the first I heard that.

[mkephart25]

Yes, I agree with the last post, very long load time and I'm on a very fast connection, maybe try reducing bandwith sensitive content or switching providers.

[CommonForte]

I'm on bluehost with unlimited bandwith

It's possible that you might have too much stuff loading on your website (i.e. widgets and plugins).
