    I recently switched my blog over to the "Prose" theme and would like to get your feedback. Please let me know what you like and don't like. I would like to get feedback from those more experienced than myself. Thanks.

    Hey thorn,

    In general it's pretty nice, but a couple of items jumped out at me right off the bat:

    1. I'm not crazy about that Filed Under and Tagged With box you have under each post. Probably just my personal opinion... but you asked.

    2. Upload a custom favicon.

    3. Your phone number is an image instead of actual text - a big no no, in my opinion. The phone number should be text, and clickable text at that, so that when someone views on a mobile device it's really easy to call you.

    4. And probably most important - When viewing on a mobile device, you can't see the phone number until you scrool waaaay down to the bottom. Most people who want to call someone will probably click the back button before they get to your phone number.

    5. Your opt-in box is a bit simple. You really aren't providing anyone with a good enough reason to give you their email. Maybe a free report or something would increase your opt-ins.

    Like I said, other than those few issues, very nice, I wish you great success with your new blog.

    Good luck,
    Aaron

    Palpatine, thanks so much for your input. Some of the things you mentioned I am working on, and the others I appreciate you bringing to my attention.
