errm,, @poster, i dont see anything to review. Your blog is just like any other blog except maybe in the course of using my phone, there are some things i cant see.

Sorry, dhtml has been sent out of the forum permanently, mayharp you may run into his clones.
As for yawatide, i dont think she reviews blogs - tis waste of time.

Try afam4ever and fayisara

@databoy, You cant review with a mobile fone, cos you cant see the Sidebar, ads and co.

Thanks, didnt know dhtml has been sent out. I love the guy and am gonna miss him.

@seun, how am i not sure you are also a clone? Cos from what i see you are new here. What is NL turning into?

Hmm, i know i am not a clone. . . .hope you dont mind borrowing your name temporarily

The blog looks kinda nice. That increase your pagerank link is not showing well.

Thanks, I think the theme caused that link to be behaving like that av got no Idea how to fix it yet. May be I will change the theme.
And I guess you are dhtml?

Josylad? Why does this name sound familiar.

Anyways, here i go:

The POSITIVES

I can tell that you downloaded that theme but it's nice you made some modifications to it. Making it look clean and simple.

I also like the fact that you didn't stuff your blog with too many colors. With Black, white and blue colors, it combines both simplicity and professionalism.

You also had an eye for SEO when you were building it. The on-page optimization is ok and with some external backlinks, i see your site competing on with the top players in google search engine.

The NEGATIVES

The "sponsored list" DIV seems to be overlapping. I'm using a firefox browser to view it.

I can see that your contact form came as a plugin. That explains why i see "Powered by Fast Secure Contact Form". That's not nice at all. Searchfor "exec-php" plugin and install it.It will enable you to run PHP scripts inside your wordpress pages.

Oops, the contact form does not validate.

I'm still running a test onit and will be back as soon as i discover a loop hole.

You are most welcome. And nope, you are wrong. *dhtml has become a ghost. . .

Hmmm, why so many usernames with stars as the first character? I swear, if I study harder, I will notice a pattern

Anyways, OP, unfortunately, as stated earlier, I don't do blogs or cms. Nothing against you but since you didn't write the code from scratch, I figure there is no point reviewing work that isn't yours. Sure, you may have customized but even at that, the foundation still isn't yours.

If and when you do an actual website or app from scratch, I will be the first to comment.

Good luck!

haha, DHTML don turn spambot.

The name is familiar because have been around for a while and probably met on other forums, thanks for the review I dont know Php thats why am using the Fast secure form plugin, I will check the plugin options to see if there is a validation option under it.
Also, are You the one that used the contact form with hi@gmail.com

No, i'm not. My email has "afam" in it.

Ok

Check out this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-745302.32.html#msg9080561

i dont understand why some of you criticize this guy for not coding his site from scratch. After all, every coder has done that at a point in time. Well OP, its a challenge you learn the fundamentals of web development as some peeps have suggested.
For the site, the design is good though i still see a horizontal scrolling bar despite using a 1366 * 700 screen resolution. The body with is about 950px so i think its got to do with ur background image. For the div around the ontoplist.com, align it further left cos its looking shaggy.

instinctng:
Granted you mentioned no names (scared? ), what I said about blogs/cms isn't a criticism. It is a personal choice and prerogative.

I see this akin to someone who who goes to an eatery, gets some food, adds a few condiments to "spice it up", then comes to me with the food, complete with that eatery's container and then asks me how I would rate the food that he just prepared. In all honesty, I couldn't do it. Now, if he cooks his own food and tells me to rate it, I will do it without hesitating.

Sure, there is nothing wrong with not coding from scratch per se, especially if you are dealing with a site that will be updated frequently. That's the whole point of using it right? I mean, I have customized a few cms sites myself.

This is muy fun. . .no fights please

Fayisara? Its Fayimora! Anyways i also cant really help you as you ddnt code it but might help you with some design and user experience tips.

--> Firstly, you have too many things on your home page. It discourages people. .
--> Secondly, your link is kinda outside your content area. . Thats a bad idea.
--> Thirdly there is a problem with your third navigation link, "increase page rank". You should fix that.
--> Fourthly, your sidebar is too crowded and you used the same sidebar throughout the whole site, another bad idea.

Errrm dont really have time to goo deeper cause am really busy but yeah you can consider the points i mentioned above. . .
