Review of The Suzette
This afternoon I reviewed a blog called The Suzette.
Suzette blogs manily about her children, parenting and breastfeeding. The blog theme is an all white two column theme. The header has butterflies which, while pretty don’t really go with her blogs theme. She might consider looking into changing the header picture.
The sidebar is organized quite neatly. The home page takes seven clicks to get from top to bottom. Her archive list is just a bit longer than the screen on my 17 in monitor. I would recommend putting the archive list into a dropdown format. The pages and categories section is a little too far down for my taste. If Suzette can’t move them up because she needs to keep sponsors or ads above the fold, than I would consider a horizontal menu across the top. Or, since this theme has a lot of padding on both sides, she could even switch to a three column theme if she wanted.
Suzette writes posts of a decent length, and frequently includes pictures, which helps draw attention to the post as well as break up the all white page. There are some posts that you must click “read the rest of this entry” to complete. Since most of your blog doesn’t have those, I’d recommend removing that.
That’s about it for this review. If you go to Suzette’s blog, please let her know valmg sent you.

Thanks!
Hi! Valmg, thanks for the review! I’m in actually planning to revise the template of Suzette, so your review comes in really handy for that.
Looks like we are on the same page here, as I am also thinking about changing to a 3-column theme and get a new header plus ‘me’ image for that.
I’ve been searching around for a pulldown format of archives (like the blogspot), but couldn’t find one at all. Wonder if you have any good recommendation of theme with this pulldown archives that I could study the codes? (I’m not a programmer, have to learn a bit from other existing codes)
I haven’t thought about the horizontal menu – very good suggestion!
Point noted on the ‘more’ tag.
Thanks again for the review! I will do a linkback later…
