F1 Blog review - comments welcomed.

[Jason Potato]

Hello people.

As a PistonHeads forum reader of some time, I recognise that many of you are the kind of people that inspired me to start this blog in the first place.

It's F1 based, and i'm trying to develop a style that isn't boring or wky (one out of two will do tbh)

http://f14sure.wordpress.com/

I would very much appreciate any comments or criticisms you have on it - for those with the time and inclination to have a look - as i'm sure many of you have tried this sort of shizzle yourselves at some point.

Thanks in advance......

P.S. Here's a picture to help sweeten the deal....

right on my wavelength that is

Rather enjoyed that - articulate and on the ball. I have a little WordPress site as well but don't think I'm using the full functionality. Is it easy to add graphics and things?

[Jason Potato]

Thanks for the comments folks. Most useful.

To answer your question chevronb37, Wordpress posts are very easy to add graphics and other elements to these days. I'm using a Wordpress.com site (they host it) but i notice that your site has it's own domain so am i right in assuming that you are using a Wordpress.org installation?

The only reason I ask is that i'm not sure if the text editor is exactly the same in both versions. However, I can tell you that posting/resizing pics and videos is pretty straightforward using the ".com" editor :-)

Like it a lot. Well done.

Hmmm, I'll have to check with my host. A friend has set up the site for me so I use the absolute basics - text and photos. I would like to be able to inset photos to add a photographic narrative but haven't worked that one out yet. It just seems to like single galleries. I haven't even figured out tags yet. Hopeless! I'll drop you a PM over the next few days and maybe try to find out a bit more? Keep up the good work on the site.

Feel free and i'll see if i can help. I know that the options for the wordpress.org sites are greater than what i have (you can install widgets apparently and i can't!!) so you should be able to get what you want with minimum fuss (which is famous last words when it comes to software!!!)

Hi Stuart,

Have had a read and enjoyed it thoroughly, well written and in a style that I can appreciate.

Keep up the good work!

[Jason Potato]

Thank you :-) Good to know i'm on enough of a right track. Appreciated.

I use the .org version for my website/blog. Being able to use widgets gives you something that looks good without needing huge technical skills. If you get your own domain, its worth a looj.
