Hello,

I am looking for some feedback on my blog GymTops.com — The Latest in Mixed Martial Arts Gear. It's a niche fashion and gear blog around the MMA and Muay Thai culture. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Jay

Nice blog extremely clean. Maybe even space out the nav or throw some ads as the navigation is all at the top than TONES of white space. You could definitely do something more with that space.

Nice looking blog, best of luck and welcome to the forum.

Is there any sitemap where we can see whole of your topics which you wrote?
Overall, its a nice blog.

And please let us know about yourself, and if you have any other blogs!

Thanks for the comments. This is my first attempt at building a blog. I have a passion for clothes and mixed martial arts. So I married them together to bring solid content to my subscribers.

I've only been at it a month and have had a very good response to the blog. I will take into consideration everyones advice. I truly don't want to show adsense or advertising, that stuff looks ugly to me.

I am a full-time web designer/developer so in between breaks I get a chance to post. It's more for fun than anything. I am more interested in securing more subscribers, promoting the blog and increasing the value of the blog on a trust level with my subscribers. So maybe after I earn a substantial amount of traffic and my name holds weight throughout the industry, i'll start to pepper my site with hand-picked relevant ads.

Thanks Again!

You could also:

- Leave the white space the way it is.

- Decrease the # of posts on the first page so it's not quite as long.

- Take either of the first 2 suggestions but also when you show off some clothes put links inside the post as to where someone could purchase them online if they are interested.
