    It looks good. Are you going to put an author page up for yourself?


    Love coffee, chocolate and my Bella!

    hey G

    im not a technical person but i am a business/marketer

    your site needs more colour, not more content but more colour, so the images for each post you need nice colorful hi res images, most professional publishers have a hd media kit for each book, see if you can source them for your featured books

    can you add the colours to the social icons, you just need a little more colour to brighten it up, have a look at http://www.couriermail.com.au/ you will see small touches of colour and hi res images, but not to much

    Looks good G,

    I would put the facebook or other more colourful widgets higher in the sidebar and/or make the top nav less bland (textured background or something else).

    cheers,

    Any idea on how to put them with the lowest impact on load times? I currently use the simple social icons plugins, can i do some tweaks in there or should i go with some other plugin? If you're suggesting for a paid plugin then choose from wpmu dev collection ! I want it to look beautiful and have very less impact on performance!
