Hi Kees,

thanks for answering my question

Being a newbie I don't really know what it is wrong with my blog, perhaps it is all right but I doubt it. I basically wanted to work on its design right now, I haven't told anyone about it yet and I want it to look nice before my friends and family will have a look at it. Do you think I should change something? I tried to upload a pic but I couldn't see it properly because it was hidden behind the homepage.

Thanks!

Hi Bob,

I'd have followed your advices If I'd known what they mean but from the link you posted I cannot figured out where the problems are because too complex for a newbie like me.

thanks anyway! Happy

Give it time.

I find folk need time to learn what web servers are, browsers that can cough on those errors and a lot of folk are just in need of tools and really don't care about those erorrs as long as the page shows up.

Why I look at such is I'm a programmer and more. So such things matter to me. If I find a web site that talks about coding and I find those page errors I'm not sure if they practice what they preach.

Some more tips.....

Hi lillo80,

I want to give first advice, put your question in web development category then you can get many answers. So try to use proper category.

Now we come on your blog. Your blog is nice but do some amendments, which are given below:

1) Delete first post which is titled with "Hello World".
2) Improve layout of your blog by using attractive eye catching template.
3) You are getting problem in uploading images then first save your images in media library in your blog and then browse images form there.
4) Use keywords in your blog which your readers use during searching.

Hope these few tips helpful for you.

Best of Dear Happy
