Hey guys,

So as you may or may not know, I made a blog dedicated to vaping reviews. Click here to see it. Any suggestions? It's made with wordpress. If anyone here knows CSS and can help me out a bit that'd be cool. Any feedback would be nice.

Nice and good luck. Sorry, can't help you with the CSS. In fact, I don't even know what CSS stands for. lol

CSS is a style language for formatting your pages. And a shit show of trial-and-error getting your browser to render it properly.

As to the site, it looks okay but I'm not a fan of dark backgrounds.

I kinda liked the dark theme. I'll experiment. What do you have in mind for a color scheme?

So, It's still a bit dark. But I made the red a bit brighter. (Sorry for double post)

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. It's basically just window dressing for HTML. I have a ton of experience with CSS and WordPress, and I'd be happy to give you some basic pointers. My apologies, but I just have too much on my plate to offer more than that right now.

A couple things:

1) Your theme is pretty dark. There are a bunch of good (and free) themes out there, so do some digging. I would highly suggest something with a white background. Those colored themes are pretty much a thing of the past.

2) You need more content. Just read a juice review and honestly, most of the info you posted, a reader can just simply get right off the bottle. Describe your experiences. If you include the words "there really isn't much to say about this flavor", then why are you posting about it in the first place?

If you're interested, I can send you a few links to help get you started with writing interesting copy. Send me a PM.

You really need to flesh it out a bit.

Share your experiences with your readers in a way that they can relate to.

And perhaps review liquids that anyone can purchase online.

Granted that White Buffalo Vapers may make a fine fruity E-Liquid.

But I will not be driving from Ohio to New Haven, CT to try their products based on your or anyone else's opinion!

But your not off to a bad start!

I don't mind the color scheme so much as the contrast. I would have recommended trying a background a few shades lighter at least, but whatever. It looks fine now. Except the "Hookah House" banner still looks rather dark. :)

Thank you. You do have a point about the "reviewing liquids that can be bought online" Should I take the White buffalo post down?

I'm gonna update the banner. You have to admit. I did a good job on it. Especially with the smoke effects.

So I just updated the Crimson Cloud post. I changed it into a review of The White Buffalo. I kept some of the original content. Check it out here.

"Hello there fellow vapors!"

Makes no sense.
vapor
