Some bloggers might think those photobucket slideshows look nice, but if its one I want to keep visiting, those are the first things that get adblocked. Especially on photos and artwork, many people take those without a care. Most artists have terms of use, and will gladly let you post their works with linkage; others do not, and will come after people using their works against their terms.<br /><br />You have a nice, simple and clean layout.

You should have put that in BOLD :)<br /><br />The sticky notes is a great tip.

I’m sure lots of blogs could benefit from having some feedback forms like that. As for me, I will definitely be subscribing and returning to your blog! Why? Because after reading your About page, I see that we have a lot in common (love of travel, dance, ice skating) and you read a wide variety of books, same as me, instead of sticking to just one genre. I do like your layout and backgrounds. It’s simple and elegant, not overwhelming or cluttered. The only thing is that I have to scroll over to see your sidebar, but I’m not sure if that’s because of my settings or yours. Still, it’s a nice blog and I’m glad to have found it!Jaehttp://booknympho.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-57098759902584861502012-06-08T06:46:51.139-05:002012-06-08T06:46:51.139-05:00Great tips!

Will you visit In Bed With Books after ABEA is over?<br />Most likely. :)<br /><br />2. What made you want or not want to return?<br />Well, your blog is actually too wide for my computer screen (I'm on a Macbook Pro), so I have to scroll sideways to read things. It gets kind of tiring. <br /><br />3. Are there any features of IBWB that you think are really cool?<br />I have not been following you long enough to know of any. <br /><br />4. What do you think of the layout?<br />I do like the simplicity and lack of clutter. And I love purple! My only suggestion would be to shrink the size of your blog's body so that it works for computer monitors of all sizes. I'm assuming you're on a computer with a large monitor, so the entire blog shows up on your screen without having to scroll sideways. The cardinal rule of web design, which I got my degree in, says to have your site's content be 800 pixels wide. That way, the entire site fits on almost all monitors. So if your sidebar is 200 pixels wide, make your blog's body 600. You get the point. It's easy to edit that in the template editor in the dashboard. Just a thought. :) I think it would really help! <br /><br />What could I change to improve IBWB?<br />Like I said, I'm brand new to your blog... so I really don't know what to tell you here. <br /><br />I'd love it if you stopped by my blog and took my survey! <br /><br />- Jana @ <a href="http://thatartsyreadergirl.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">That Artsy Reader Girl</a>Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772938036847330151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-19210134045924727952012-06-08T01:26:57.579-05:002012-06-08T01:26:57.579-05:00A wonderful post & great tips :) I too love th...A wonderful post & great tips :) I too love the simplicity of your blog, it's neat and tidy with no clutter.<br /><br />I have recently turned Captcha back on because of the # of spam comments I was receiving.<br /><br />My post - http://obsessionwithbooks.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/armchair-bea-day-five-future-of-book.htmlObsession with Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866538237890994901noreply@blogger.com
