Default Indigenous Peoples Issues Today Blog

Here is my other blog. It is on indigenous peoples and the issues effecting them around the world. Fairly informative, so like my other one I've gone with a minimal theme. Of course, I'd be into any suggestions on improving click through or SEO aspects.

Indigenous Peoples Issues Today Blog

Cheers.

Intellectually speaking, your blog is extremely interesting! I just spent 30 min. reading various articles and you obviously know your subject. You also have an interesting background.

I guess the main question would be: what do you want to do with your blog? Do you want to teach people about various issues, let people discuss about them...? It's not easy to market "intellectual" blogs I found. Just my 2 cents.

Your blog is fine with a minimalist template but I'd suggest you to:

1) Put your about me on the top so that people will see your background immediately.

2) Your blog could use a "more catchy" header. I'd suggest a nice image (background picture), it would really break the b/w scheme.

3) Put the feed at the top as well so people can subscribe easily.

Just a few suggestions!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I'm working on adding more color, especially in the header but just have not had the time to design up a cool image. Good call on moving the subscribe up higher. Beyond advocacy and all that it entails (education, fostering discussions, exposing issues, getting the word out) I have not thought much beyond the "blogs" purpose. I guess I have some thinking to do. Thanks again.
