I’ve been doing family genealogy research since June. I would like to blog about the process. Does that sound like a good idea? I’m thinking about a title like this: “The Best and the Brightest: The Story of my Search for my Ancestors.” Any ideas?

I really like your humor and writing style. Your last post for today was a good one, because I felt like I was there.

The one you currently have is sort of hard to connect with your content because it’s largely formatted, most likely for more pictures. But overall your content is great!

What’s the resolution on those photos? Those took forever to load and they’re not even big. That might impact how much return traffic you get.
Outside of that, blog themes do exist that will let your photos be bigger. I’ve seen “Untitled” work really well for photography blogs, but there are other possibilities.
LikeLike
Which photos are you referring to? They are sized to the lowest percentage. The photography blog themes I’ll have to look into but I like displaying the other areas of interest on my blog as well. My blog is not just a photography blog but thanks for your input.

I am referring to any and all photos, pictures, or whatever is taking so long to load.
Also, size percentage is not the same as image resolution or file size. A visually small picture can have a huge file size if the resolution is too high.
LikeLike
I know the difference lol The resolution size is always set to compliment the photo Resizing it too much can distort the image I set them as small as they will go but I will look into that more You’re the first to say that, but I would love to hear other opinions of my site thx

You might want to consider thinning down the number of elements on your homepage. I truly didn’t know where to start to read because there are so many little boxes and titles and categories. Maybe it’s just me, but it felt a little intimidating.

I like the content but I think the layout could use some work to match the sassy and fun vibe of the blog. Simple and clean is nice, but having a banner over your blog and some nice color scheme can do wonders. Also, remember to tag your posts! Tags will help other bloggers find your posts. Also, I see your first post was more so about the writers of the blog and I would suggest creating an “About Us” page/link so that anyone who visits the blog can readily click on that and read rather than not know they have to scroll to the bottom to read about the writers. I do like the content though, looks promising. 🙂
