Cheers.

And I need to address this question of yours: “Design set aside, does anyone have problems reading the text? anyone finding it small on their resolutions (if possible, please list what resolution you’re using.)?

I’m going to be upfront here. I’ve been commissioned to give Blogs Malaysia a facelift if necessary. That’s why this discussion is up. But it looks like there’s more to just the design that might need sorting.”

I think the text is fine although for some people it might be a tad bit too small. Alternatively you could put up a Javascript text-enlarger/minimizer so that people who don’t know how to enlarge/shrink fonts (I know of many! ^_^) with their browser settings can still do so easily. Readability helps with web-staying power, really it does.

The design is great already. The problem that I find with BlogsMalaysia is that it hasn’t enough content. One or two lines of personal comments isn’t a “review”, per se. Someone has to put more thought into reviewing the sites that are being submitted; the committee has to be more stringent with the criteria concerning what is good content and what isn’t. And the committee must also be impartial; don’t just favour the posts coming from the “popular” bloggers or their blogger friends.

My two cents, hope it helped.

So instead of voicing out negativity, why not put up added measures to what you already might have shared with the rest of us here so that BM would be better favored.

But of course that doesn’t deter the objective of trying to promote it. Anyone care to test their marketing knowledge and suggest a brilliant plan that doesn’t involve money?
