You might want to choose a more pattern for background. The large polka dots are distracting.

I agree with Jean. The polka dots make the text hard to read.

First off, I’d put a “Who” at the front of your tagline’s final mini-sentence.
The other thing I’d suggest is adding some visual interest to your tagline. Right now, it’s just some large black text in a sea of empty space where an image would normally be with that theme. If you were to create a single-page PowerPoint document (saved as a JPEG) with the text in a more interesting font and with a background color, it would be a great improvement. (I would have suggested putting a horizontal line at the top and bottom of the header but you’d have to crop the JPEG to fit the header’s required dimensions and it would be time-consuming to get the placement right in PowerPoint. )

I recently started my blog and was looking for some feed back about the design and layout. Also, should I stick with two pages (home and about) or expand by category (fiction, poetry etc)?? I would really appreciate any advice, comments, or feedback!! Thank you 🙂

Right now, I think Home and About are sufficient. Since you’re already using the category widget, visitors can already sort posts by type. (Other popular page types are “About Me,” “Contact,” and “Blog Roll;” you don’t have to include them but I find that visitors flock to an “About Me” page.)
As far as design goes, I’d strongly recommend adding a custom header. It would add some visual interest. If you don’t want a header, I’d suggest changing the orange text color or light blue background. (Considering your blog topic, probably the background…) The two colors look mismatched without any other images to tie them together.

Okay, I will look into adding a header or editing my color scheme. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Hello, everyone. My name is AT Augustine, and my blog is called Crown Town Scribe. Through it, I explore storytelling in all its different forms, from the staples we all know and love like books and movies, to the mediums we may not expect like dance and video games.
I just reformatted my site to include a home page, and an about page. I’d love for you guys to take a look and see if they help or hinder viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Since you are aiming to write stories of imagination, though not on your blog, consider a blog header design/photo that is less technical (city skyline) and something more suggestion of memory, imagination.

That’s actually a picture of the city the blog is named after, and I guess I need to reword the premise of the blog since it must have misled you. I won’t be writing stories, but shining a light on how stories are told on different mediums. For example, I’ve got an article about the storytelling power of dance, and another about how video games tell stories.

I’m hesitant to make too many suggestions for improvement because i have no idea what your regular readers are used to. However, the gray background color doesn’t seem to match the tone you’re going for. It’s a little dry and businesslike for an author who goes by the name “Christrocks.”

Thanks for the input! Well, the color scheme is actually pretty similar to my original theme, which was Book Lite. I mostly went for this one because of the side bar. Besides, I kind of like the clean, simple look. I appreciate your sharing your thoughts! 🙂
