Congratulations on your new blog mir! :D
Loved the content so far and I'm definitely adding it to my RSS reader ;)
Thanks for the backlink by the way :rolleyes:
If you're serious about blogging, you will soon notice it will turn to be like a job by itself. I can contribute if you need some resources to drive traffic to your site. :)

oh btw, are you the one who's drawing these comics?

mir

hey rami, i only listed your blog cuz it is a good one :P and i check from time to time

those posts are like i said mainly Demo Posts, so you can get idea about what the blog would be like so you can give appropriate feedback
making the characters is harder than i thought it would be
the current ones used are creative common stuff from xkcd
but i am almost done doing couple of characters...honestly i recieved a hand from a friend
but it was pretty educational and fun and hard
i am glad i am learning lot of stuff and having some fun

i think mainly i should work on the size of the images , i am not happy about the signature
but i think i should start regulary posting on the blog

i checked the blog stats today there was like 3 hundred something click from stumble upon.. i was like wtf :S.. this is just demo stuff

lol samer
take a look.. point the bad things.. are the page loads fine ? what are your current fav. posts ?

i think signature needs some work
i must do some standard size of posts and such
i should find another font for the headers
i should remove the recent post section on the right cuz it is dumb
recent post is useful when there are big posts filling the page
but the stuff i am posting is relatively small.. so user would scroll.. no need for recent posts
i should put a subscribe rss or something like this
i should remove the search.. cuz there is no text to search :P
(l3ama b2albeh shu ni2a.. ba3ref)

any other stuff.. something wrong or something missing ?

samer

Another theme (or even better, a custom theme) would be awesome.
I'll help you optimize your widgets positions if you want.

7aRami

mir your signature is pretty nice, unless you have something better then it would be great
concerning the theme, I disagree with samer cuz I find it simple and classy (and that's what I look for then I search for themes). Custom themes are of course better but cost money :(
concerning the RSS things, get a feedburner account. You'll get to see statistics about your subscribers in addition to using their buttons.
keep the search, useful for titles.
fonts are nice, no need to change unless u have something better.

bottom line, your design is nice and it's easy to navigate through, so u better care about getting readers instead. (my advice)

btw, is your blog hosted on wordpress or on a private server? cuz if it is on wordpress you will be unable to add some cool widgets and plugins :/

samer

concerning the theme, I disagree with samer cuz I find it simple and classy

I did not say it was not simple or classy. It is just too generic as thousands of other wordpress blogs are using the same one.
The blog should have an impact on the user within a few seconds or the visitors goes byebye.
In order to achieve that impact you have emphasize good content and provide the user with a usable and simple web page, as well as having a unique look that the user would remember.

battikh

does everyone has to do tebyid wejj? it would be more useful to make constructive criticism, so here it is:
your website sucks like hell and your comics are dead boring. here's my advice, ask your mom to teach you how to cook and marry a saudi prince.

and where's the penguin? :x

mir

your website

Guys, Want your opinion on those kind of Comics :

http://lifegeeked.com/2008/04/02/ultimate-password-cracking/
http://lifegeeked.com/2008/03/29/life-is-buggy/

are they too wi2hin or over for public view?
some frnds have been telling me ano it is somehow 3eib or vulgaire n such
Should they be in some 18+ section ?
Should they be removed ?
or put warning.. and after clicking on image it shows the image

- any suggestion ? -

7aRami

I honestly think the first one is vulgar.After reading this post and leaving ur webpage, one woul have the impression that lebanese girls are all b*tches...
you know ur comics are nice, they're great actually, and someday you'll get famous among other blogs and have credibility, so a lot of people will get influenced by what you write. That's why you should play it safe sometimes.
It's good to use naughty stuff min wa2et la wa2et (SEX SELLS!!) bas don't make it vulgar :rolleyes:

I find the second one acceptable by the way.
