    Hello,

    I do not have any fresh ideas on how to improve my website. Here it is http://goo.gl/MtJP6C

    Fresh pair of eyes is always helpful.

    Also, I am trying to find a way to make my categories pages better. Any ideas or example links would be much appreciated.

    I am using mobile first theme by Brian Gardner.

    Thanks!

    I like the layout; and I love the clean look. You might want to consider making a logo or something that will make it a little bit more memorable though. It doesn't have to be anything large; I think it would look great with a simple icon of some sort off to the left of the title.

    I'm not sure what you mean by you category pages because they seem to be using different layouts.

    Hi Jen,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to add a logo but it does not seam easy in the theme I am using. I will have to find some tutorial on it.

    Love your site by the way!

    Another possibility would be to add a logo in your sidebar that links to your about page. Just a little something that adds something easily identifiable with your "brand." It looks like you've already done some branding with all of your social profiles - you could use that same logo that way it's instantly recognizable.

    I added the logo finally 🙂 It was quite simple, as there was an option in the theme itself, I was quite stupid 🙂 Thanks for the insight Jen!

    Hi Jen, can you please help me with how you setup your metro theme to show the categories page as a one column list like you have with the image to the left and content excerpt to the right as I see on your Puppyleak website?

    For some reason mine does not show that way and i really would like it to 🙂

    oh never mind i found the problem it was with the Genesis Grid Loop plugin, once i modified the settings in the plugin the page categories show as i wanted and just like you have 🙂
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-grid-loop/ this plugin lets you set up two-column layouts on specific sections of the site.
