Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce you all to my new website. Any feedback on anything about the site would be appreciated.

I mostly feature things related to WordPress but I will soon be expanding to some graphic design tutorials as well.

I love the design, nice, web 2.0, neat design... The logo... I hate! I think you should have a look for some Web 2.0 logo tutorials, or have a browse here: http://bestwebgallery.com

Other than the logo, great job man, have a go at the logo then share the updated version!

Good job man! ^_^

lol, yea I'm actually going to work on a new logo tonight, something that actually has too do with the name.

I can't take credit for the design itself, I do design themes but I just feel in love with that theme. I feel sort of dumb being a web designer and using a free theme, but I really does look good. I think I will mix it up a bit more though; I did change some font sizes to emphasize different things, and added a whole bunch of functional plugins and the like. I think it's off to a pretty good start though.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, you cheated!! :)

Maybe add some nice effects, maybe some nice navigation mouse hover and click buttons etc.

I don't mean to be harsh but if you didn't design the theme then there isn't much for us to look at even if you have tweaked it slightly... work on the header and consider adding the IE6 transparecy fix for your logo (look it up on google if you don't understand) because currently in your logo IE6 users see the words Black Leaf Media but then all the parts that were transparent are a light blue colour for internet explorer users.

Thanks. I understand it's mostly a graphic design forum, but since this sub-forum is for showing off I was looking for more of a general look.

Thanks for letting me know about the IE6 problem, I do know exactly what it is, I only check in IE7 anymore so I didn't realize it. Leave it to IE6's awesome support of standards <sarcasm>.
Thanks again for the heads-up.
