Hi, SFF,
Can I get some feedback on my blog layout? I'm currently using a free template from Wordpress. Also any other ideas for serial blog posts in the area of science fiction and fantasy literature? Thanks!
Hey Carp, just wanted to give a little feedback on your site after flipping through it. I like the content that you're putting out, the sci fi scene is a cool thought and can bring a lot of people in from twitter or reddit, like you seem to be doing. If I may say, the template is a little plain. Does the picture at the top have anything to do with sci fi? Perhaps you can change it to a starscape or planets? Your sidebars on the right repeat themselves, you have categories, archives, and something else listed twice. Also, when someone clicks on the 'Saturday Sci fi' or 'Sunday rewrite' button, it doesn't actually show any of the posts for those that you've done. It's just a static page describing what the idea behind it is, but if someone wants to actually read the Saturday posts they have to look through your sidebar at categories, browse the archives, or just continuously scroll your home page. Juuuuuust a few thoughts after looking at you site.
In my corner of the internet, I wrote a multi-layered post today about starting an intern position at gameskinny.com as a gaming journalist, the horror stories I've been writing and just what makes a story a "horror", and posted some artwork coming out for my novel
here. All cool stuff, but I feel it may be last time I post for a while. I'm really into these stories I'm working on and I feel this intern position might take up more time than I imagine....
