[Showcase] Give me feedback on my first blog! - BlueShiftXD - Apr 12, 2018

Hey guys!
I've been working hard on creating my first blog & online community.
The blog is called Bluify referencing my online handle BlueShiftXD.
The purpose of this blog is to help people understand the basics of internet marketing. Mainly YouTube + CPA.
I've been posting once a week since I started it up near the end of February.
I would like some opinions on the overall design and writing style perhaps.

Thanks guys!

I saw your site mentioned on another thread a few days ago. It looks like it is packed with useful information. I have it bookmarked anyway! Keep up the good work bro. In my opinion, the design layout is fine so far; looks quite clean. I'm using mobile site btw

You know, I actually kind of like it. I have no experiencing creating blogs or thread/forum design, I'm just a user. With that said, I enjoy it. It looks clean and is easy on the eyes.

I actually enjoyed it. I'm a "to the point" reader any way, but your style explains things without being too wordy like a Forbes article. ✌

P.S. I read the 3 awesome ways to gauge niche interest.

Thank you! I always value a second opinion. 🤝

to much fade effekt and less image quality. maybe use svg for title images

on code-blocks seperate </> from code or disable the icon

disable directory listing (uploads)

Design is enjoyable, but I was more interested in content which is SUPER HQ !

It has lot of informations and tips for ranking youtube video.

Keep up with the good work mate

It's clean & smooth.
Good work!
I think it would look, a lot more smooth with some other fonts. But of course, that depends on the person! The domain is also pretty smooth

Yeah, I'm struggling with image quality. I'm going to have to try your suggestion!
I'll take a look into the icon and I disabled directory listings. Thanks for the suggestions!

I happen to like the fonts, and I like the domain too as it references my username handle 🤝

Looks very good OP!
If I were you I would change the font'\color\spacing of the text images - but overall very nice!
Will keep on looking at it from time to time

I was thinking of getting a designer for those! You're right, they're not the prettiest haha
Thank you for the suggestion 🤝

With pleasure!
What font are you using there?
Maybe I can try and create a new one for you

-> use PNG file format for images with text in them (headers)
-> Your loadtime is over 5sec, and there's not reason for it to be this slow. Maybe look into that (https://gtmetrix.com/reports/bluify.net/8EQHO9N7)
-> On my monitor your site only takes up a small portion of the screen, which isn't really a problem, but the background pattern does become annoying.

Goodluck!

The font doesn't really matter, if you want to give it a go just use my branding image: https://bluify.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/site-icon.png
Thanks! 🤝

I have someone working on the headers at the moment, actually. Site loading speed will be greatly improved when I upgrade my hosting server as it's running on a shared server at the moment.
I'll take a closer look at the pattern thing and see what I can do! Thanks for your thoughts 🤝
