Design

As the Blogosphere (the world of blogs) continues to expand it seems that everybody wants to have a website with a personal blog. The question has always been “How do I set it up and how do I get people to visit it?” There are many sites that tell you how to set up a blog and there are many sites that show you techniques to get visitors. ThaSlayer.com combines design, setup, and promotion all in one site.

ThaSlayer.com is a blog based website with many how-to articles with subjects ranging from designing a website to step-by-step installation tutorial for WordPress (the webs #1 blogging software). Not only does this website offer the tutorials and how-to articles, it also offers personal experiences of the author, some successful, some not so successful.Overall TheSlayer.com is an informative page. It gives some great ideas on how to get a website going and get people to that site. I would like to see some more in depth information on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and maybe even link building. I would also like to see more information on the design and marketing successes and failures of TheSlayer.com. When reading a blog about web design and marketing I love seeing quite a bit about personal experience as well as how to articles.

I found the ads on the right side bar above the navigation links to be quite obtrusive and they make navigation a little more difficult. If I have to scroll past ads to navigate I always deduct at least 1 star from the rating.

Conclusion

If you are thinking about setting up a website, or already have one and would like to gather some ideas on how to improve, ThaSlayer.com is a good site to start. I would not recommend copying their ad placement, but all-in-all it is a good site!
