10 things: Leading from the Heart

The blogosphere, for all of it’s bloggers, can be a small world. Our next site review comes via a theme I chose to use for one of my other blogs, The Web-Betty Blog. There were quite a few comments regarding the Unstandard theme and how to modify it. A few of these comments came from Tracy Rosen.

10 5 things I hate about your site:

  1. Holy navigation, Batman! You have quite a few navigation buttons.
  2. Busy, busy, busy. There is a lot going on here.

  4. Too many formatting styles in a post.
  5. Overall layout—are you making the most of your blog real estate?

Don’t be mislead. While there are only five items listed, they cover a multitude of sins.
