Hi all,

I've decided to start a photography blog. As I am new to the blogging thing, I've chosen a pre-made template/layout and all that stuff. Please check it out and all constructive criticism is appreciated.

Thanks,

The background underneath the text is too busy. I couldn't take it. IMO.

Thanks, Shelly. I will take a look at the other templates when I have more time... that one seemed to have fit nicely with the frames on the wall and the theme of the photography blog.

Overall, I like it. I agree about the text/background thing, though. Not impossible to read, but makes it harder. I don't know if this is possible or not, but if it were me I'd keep the background shot and have the background for the text as a solid color. It means you only see the sides of the background shot, but it does add a nice touch, I think.

Somewhat similar to my blog... http://iowalandscapeph​otography.blogspot.com​/ (external link) . Mine is more plain, though.

I joined yours, btw.

I agree with the background as well...very distracting and difficult to read text. I tend to like blogs that have very simple templates with solid color backgrounds.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will play around with it some more.

@photoguy - thanks for joining. I noticed you just now and was wondering who you were :)

Edit: ...and I'm following yours now too!
