In Need of Feedback - Please Help!

Hi everyone,

I've had my blog for over a year now and although it has gotten a small amount of publicity, I would love it if some of you here could comment or give me feedback on what you all think of my writing? Topics on my blog include bullying, mental health, relationships, LGBT, and much more!

Hi Hustler007,

I'm not sure if you're still blogging, since the last post is from Sept, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I really like your blog, and I think there's definitely an audience out there for it. Also, you write very well!

I would, however, make some changes to the layout. First, I love your header image, but perhaps you could crop off the white edges and make it a bit smaller? Maybe you could even incorporate your blog title into the image? Second, your sidebar is almost as wide as your main feed--it should be significantly narrower. And, finally, readers have to do a lot of scrolling. Making the sidebar narrower will help this some (as it will make the content wider), but you also may want to cut out all of the dead space in your posts (i.e. the one with all of the youtube clips). Another way to shorten the homepage is to add a break one or two paragraphs into each post, so that the whole post isn't on your homepage, but readers can click to read the whole thing.

You have a great blog; I hope it continues!

Serena
