Remember those posts two weeks ago about finding this sites focus and working on re-organizing it?
Well ….
Didn’t anyone notice that the site looks a little bit different?
I really thought about designing or heavily modifying an existing theme to give this site a new look, but it seems that the majority of my visitors actually like this fresh green theme, so I decided to keep the current theme.
I did however tidy up the sidebars. See … look at the left side, isn’t that a lot nicer to look at? Yes I still have banners and advertising but a lot of it is in expandable menus now so that if you chose to look at the banners and buttons you can easily do so. I got rid of a few things too. Hopefully the site loads a bit faster now.
The right sidebar still has advertising but it’s mostly text ads. I did ad one new form of advertising to the right sidebar thought. See the “Ads by AuctionAds” section in the center of the “google” area in the right sidebar? That’s a new advertising site created by Text-Link-Ads. AuctionAds just launched a few days ago.
The auction box shows hot eBay auctions from categories that I’ve selected for this site. Keep an eye on that box. You might find a deal that you can’t pass up.
Take a good look around. I’ve added some new plugins that help organize this site better, and provide some benefit to my regular visitors.
I’ll tell you more about the plugins in another post.
I didn’t get to see the first one, but I do like the new layout. A little cluttered, but everything is sectioned off in its own header nicely. I like it!
I like the way you can expand Headings that you want. That makes it a lot less cluttered as opposed to having everything show all the time.
