Hey being a big fan of cult TV and all various genres of movies decided to start my own blog today about move/tv reviews/news

I would be very grateful if you could comment/become a fan for me as i have been a very long (i think about 6 years now) upstanding fan of rabroad.

Also hope the admins don't think this is a pointless thread, if so very sorry lol

I'd be grateful for the support

The font colour is all over the place.

White and Grey works. The lighter purple is just about ok. The bright green is highly visible but doesn't fit the rest of the colour scheme, niether does the blue, red or yellow.

The blue and purple and dark green doesn't work. It is too hard to distinguish. You have one colour that is either black or just off-black and obviously it's impossible to read on a black background.


Some of the alignment is off.

ok thanks a lot for the feedback,

i've changed the video sizes and made the font colours fit a more regular colour scheme. Ive never made a blog before you see so i'm a newbie to all this :o
 
I'm not one for blogs but will have a look at i latert. I've had a quick glance at it before I go out and it looks nice enough. The background is pretty and nice and relaxing on the eye.

I'm not sure that you need to do news or much news as there are so many sites online people can and do get their info from. Why would I go to your site to get news when I come to the RAB site for example?
Unless you can think of a way to do it that is different it may be worth dropping a lot of it or scaling it down.
As you mentioned genres, maybe instead of news you could write synopsis for the films and shows you will be covering rather than. XXXX has signed on for the new Batman film or XXXX leaves Lost. By having series an overall synopsis it could then be used as a library reference system for people that read your blogs. If they can read about the shows film there they are less likely to leave the site to go looking for the info elsewhere.

More later when i've had a better look over the site/blog.
Good luck with it. :D
 
I've still to look at it. There is room for news but not lots of it. I think it neeRAB to be linked to your blog. So lets say you see something about about Paramount trying to resurrect Star Trek as a TV series again. You post that in the news section then put you opinion/thoughts about it in your blog.
Equally with reviews. Have one as a general review this is the story and what happens, a kind of stnopsis. Then in the blog you go into details about it as to what works, didn't, your likes, hates and general rants f you have them.
It may help to keep it from being random postings.

I know a guy that loves wrestling and wrote his own blogs, reviews and news etc. It was all very well written but it's biggest failing was it was too much. He tried to cover everything and always be up to date. This resulted in two problems. Firstly it was wordy. Very very wordy to the point it went on and on and was boring to read. You had to devote at least an hour to read it all each time the second and possibly a bigger problem was his postings were erratic. because he wanted it so full, so perfect and si current he wouldn't post on a regular basis. Sme times it was a Friday. Sometimes a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Sometimes once a week, sometimes two. Sometimes he would miss a week or it could be three weeks between postings.
The downside of that is people get fed up keeping going to check for updates or second guessing when the next one would be. Just because he said next one is friday didn't mean it was.
IMO it will help if you have set days whether weekly, fortnightly or monthly that you will post so you get a routine. If you end up doing extrs thats fine they'll see thats when they go on the next proposed date. It's the advertised one that creates the routine of going to your site regularly.
