I asked Somone from Thesis Theme HQ to review my site the other day when I moved over to Thesis and I very surprised at the depth of the review. They had seen my previous post about Basics of website review questions? and based some of their findings on that particular post.
The review is great with the questions I had asked you my readers and I took all the pros and cons lightly as they had identified areas that could be improved and all. I have already made some of the changes and will continue for the next week or two until all has been covered.
Review details:
- By: by Somone Bull
- From: by Somone Bull at Thesis Theme HQ
- Title: Switching to Thesis Theme: When Personal Blogging Becomes Business
Changes I have already made:
- Changed the colour of the hover buttons on the menu bar to be the same as my site colours
- Changed the background to have an image, I might still change it to another image. Still deciding if OK
- Changed the colour of the sidebar headers
- Put a link to my about page in menu bar
- Changed the sidebars to not distract the reader from the content to much
- Only have Google Ads in the posts itself and no other place
- Removed PayPal donate buttons from all download pages
I’m not going to mention what still needs to be done as I would like you to visit the review post and see for yourself.
Just in case you did not see the link, here is is again:

George, I love what you have done! The slideshow is absolutely eye-catching and the overall design is clean, inviting and colourful. I updated my post with a screenshot and even made a modification to my own site
It was my greatest privilege to review your site and give you further inspiration.

I was at your site a few days back for the first time, when you had just installed the thesis theme. And as I visit today, well..I am impressed. It looks great. Light on eyes and content is so well placed. Keep it up man.

@Zubin – thanks for the kid words
Wow that’s a very long and extensive review, indeed! What’s wrong with having a gray background image? I like it better than your current one, actually
It’s more like a personal taste, I think (with colors)
I guess I have to use a Thesis too to get a review from Thesis Theme HQ? :{

@Michael – If you want a review from them then you will have to use Thesis, thats what I think. You could always ask.
I will still be reviewing your site in the next couple of days.
It’s good that they took the time to review your blog and that you thought so highly of it that you are prepared to make certain changes to improve your blog. I know of many people who look at reviews too critically when suggestions are made about improvements. I mean if they don’t want to know, why ask in the first place.

@Sire – I asked for a review and I never take it personally what others have to say, more of another perspective.
That’s the way George, that’s the way to improvement.

I wish you more luck man
