(1) I use the plain vanilla template and I realised that the font in my posts was not the same as the Adsense fonts when I accessed my website from another computer.
Please let me know if that happens to you too, when you view my blog and I will figure out how to get a more widely used font.
(2) I haven't figured out how to remove the default blogroll list, so erm.... I'll be leaving it as is for the moment.
Thanks all! |
Wow, YiChen, that was a very nice new blog talk about food... You have impress me and most of the visitors on the first time.
The good about using plain vanilla themes is, it presents the colorful picture and look perfect. Just kept including more pictures in your future posts. That will increase the feel of visitors when they read your website.
Next is remove the unnecessary external link like Yahoo & Google on top. That links don't make sense to your readers. Even if you want to link us, I suggest you put our link in blogrool. The top link should like to more important one such as your affiliate products, etc. To remove the defauly blogroll list, just follow the following steps will do:
Login your blog admin area ==> Look for Links tab ==> Manage Links ==> deleted whatever link you want to. For full post about how to remove link,

The next step to re-arrange your categories into several anchor tags, like fish, vegetable, beef, chicken, review, etc.... Conduct a study on different category and decide which one you like to put it as main category.
You can use technorati tags to cover the smaller category. I suggest you use
Ultimate Tags Worrier (UTW), it is a good plugin to create tags for technorati. UTW also create tag for categories as well. Once it is created, it will updates technorati on your assigned tags.
Pertaining to the text size appear differently in different computer, it doesn't matter as the display resolution in different PC are different.
Overall, you have done a good work and have a good start. The next steps is study various plugins that can help you to make your blog easier for reader to get info. Features like, bookmark me, print, email friends to increase the viral effects. You may even want to consider put up rating systems in order to increase the interactivity of your readers.
You can search in the
plugin page. I am sure you can find few of them.
