Kindly review my new site.

Guys, give me feedback about this site.

www.upd8t.com

Still in beta and need more attention.

Just want to know how can I improve it more.

Thanks.

Nice site Ron. Looks really professional.

Some cosmetic improvements you could make are:

your logo doesn't stand-out very much - it's not that much bigger than some of your headings. You should try to get a nice bold logo. You could also right-align the Adsense ad so it's not up against your logo.
the headings in your far-right sidebar are orange on dark grey and therefore a little hard to read

I would also try to emphasise your prime benefit - eg. getting a free blog(?). This could even include making the "Create Account" button stand-out a bit more (make orange?)

Your About link gets a "page not found" however I assume you're aware of that and just haven't got around to adding it...?

Well done Ron, I really like the site.

Thank you Sir Jono. I really need some expert advice and reviews about it. Also, we have to fix some bugs in it.

Thanks again! Appreciate it!

Hi ron,

Your site loads so slow when I tried to view it to see what could do for a feedback. The template looks simple but that's ok though header part of your page looks empty. I guess you need to put something flashy there.

Seemed OK to me speed wise - I ran the Pingdom test (http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/?url=ww...com/&id=694935) and it says 5.8 seconds - it does show something initially before loading the rest of the page so it's not as though you sit there for 6 seconds waiting.

Dude, thanks so much for this. Really appreciate the effort.
