Ok so I'm nearly there!

clicking http://www.newarrivalchecklist.comshould now bring you to http://www.thebabychecklist.com/home

first of all can someone let me know this is working ok?

then opinions on basic layout (i havent finished adding widgets & images n stuff yet)

and then pls help with the landing page dilema, i'm torn between leaving it as it is now - showing most recent posts hopefully? (there is lots more content to be added) http://www.thebabychecklist.com

or to have the home page http://www.thebabychecklist.com/home

or the checklists page - which, after all is what the site is based on http://www.thebabychecklist.com/checklists

I can take critisism (even if i cant spell it!) so hit me with it :?

Okay the redirect works! I personally think the landing page could be http://www.thebabychecklist.com/ , it catches the eye more. I really like the layout, though with the colors being primarily blue it makes it feel more like its just for boy babies. Maybe something like a pale green color scheme would be good where it can be for either a boy or a girl. Or you could add in pink to the blue but I really like the idea of having it primarily one color like you have with the blue.

im stuck with blue, a bright sickly pink or yellow until i upgrade to the pro version of the theme (it looked more green in the preview lol) Not too sure how happy i am with the theme, there's a gorgeous one that i really want but it's a little complicated, i might finally sit through a tutorial and see if i can work it out LOL (pagelines if anyone is interested)

thanks for the input gothtini, really appreciate it :)

hey miss X, yes your redirection is fine, basic layout is fine, but the bubble header image I really don't like (you wanted brutal honesty didn't you? :| ).

oh and I liked this one better to land on http://www.thebabychecklist.com/ just looks more professional. ;)

thanks MOC, i know the header is crap - I'm waiting on something more professional (a friend was doing it so i hate to be pushy, but it looks like i will have to pay someone) - and thats the best i could come up with in a hurry lol

Lol I hope that is not in reference to mine! hey fiverr is a good place to get a header made for you, I am good at headers and design but I'm sticking with my old school header for now :P but sooner or later you will see some cool custom bling up there!!

I have some free time today so i will swap over the last few posts - then what do i do with the old domain? leave it until it expires, remove the content, park it, unassign it? *confused*

google is penalising both sites it looks like - rankings have dropped off the chart!
