Hello, I would love to find ways to make my blog more “delicate” and feminine, without losing clarity and easiness of reading. For example, I don’t want to use fancy fonts that would make it hard for some people to read and wouldn’t work on all computers.
Right now, I see my blog as a big, dark, square slab of concrete and I am getting really tired of it. Thoughts anyone?
LikeLike
I do like the theme you’ve chosen because the images are quite eye-catching. If you want to make it more feminine, I’d begin by changing the background color to something softer – maybe a pale pink or green that would contrast nicely with the purple of the post titles. I agree that the dark brown is a bit much.
If you want a complete overhaul, I knew wordpress has more feminine-looking themes that aren’t too overpowering. However, I do like the images and layout of the current theme you’re using, so that’s up to you. Overall, I think you’re off to a good start!

I’m new to Blogging.. I could use help on everything…. and I mean EVERYTHING… I am an author trying to get feedback on my books, my blog.. helpful hints advise… encouragement.
I’ve only done about 10 posts.. and most of them are daily prompts which aren’t showing up as entries on my sites linked back to my blog. I’m not sure how to read the comments on my posts. Right now it looks like people are not commenting on my entry, but more or less somehow submitting their own entry as a comment on my post.
Help? Thanks 😀

Evening all! Didn’t really get any feedback last time, so I’m trying again.
A lot of my blog is about theatre and how I view aspects of it and/or performance (with occasional other forays) but my query is whether it might come off as a little…know it all? I want to engage people in their views on whatever I’m talking about, but I don’t know if it reads as a bit brash and I’m yet to receive any kind of constructive feedback thus far. This is the most recent example: http://laidigsbroadway.wordpress.com/2013/08/25/look-what-happened-comedy/
Thank you in advance!

Hello there,
Just had a read and no, i don’t think it comes across as know-it-all. You’re clearly opinionated, which is fine – but you also seem to know what you’re talking about, and you make little jokey asides which lead the reader not to take it too seriously.
Brash is fine for me, as long as there’s a certain warmth to it.
Hope that helps

Well in that particular example it’s a three-parter: (my view on) comedy history and then two following entries about shows I had seen in connection, which as you see are linked into the post. Or was it something else you got a lost with?
There are earlier examples if you look under the category Theatre Thoughts (you don’t have to, though!) which is my attempt at exploring other theatre aspects in a similar vain to the post above.
Let me know if you have a look!
