Tom LeDree . com

1) I like the posts - they are original and well thought out
2) I don’t like the color of the nav buttons at the top - i think they’re too dark
3) the only the i would consider changing is the theme… but that’s only if i had to pick one thing
4) I don’t know if i can pick one thing - i like the variety - and i like the fact that you posted this article too

…overall i like the blog, i don’t want you to think there are things that need to be changed or anything. Keep up the good work!

[…] Full Contest Details […]

1) My favorite thing about TomLedree.com is the writing! The posts are inspirational, interesting and well-written. I really like your “voice.”

2) There is nothing I dislike. I’m not real fond of advertising at the top of posts or right under the banner but at least your ad is small and not too in-your-face.

3) I might think abut changing the color scheme or adding a graphical banner to add a bit more color and to catch your eye. I miss the old banner! This is a very creative blog and it should look a bit more creative and eye-catching to show casual readers that this is a blog to stop at!

4) I like the content of the posts as they are. The only things I would change are the look, not the content!

I hope I was helpful Tom. I do think you have a good thing going here.

[…] enter you into a contest for a free 300-word blog review, and all you have to do is offer him some constructive criticism about his blog.  Kudos to Tom for seeking out honest opinions, but when you solicit random […]

1) What I Like about TomLeDree.com and why:
I like how there are not obtrusive ads. This is because I despise blogs with too many ads.

2) What I dislike and why:
I dislike the RSS icon. This is because it is of poor quality and needs to be replaced by a nicer RSS feed image.

3) What I would change:
I would change the header to something more visually appealing and easy to remember. Like a photo.

4) What I’d like to see more posts about:
More posts related to what you do to promote your blog.

1) I like the color scheme as it is very pleasing to the eye.
2) The layout and appearance is quite plain: Having a custom header can go a long way in creating a “brand.”
3) The header image, as I mentioned. Other things to consider would be the inclusion of a contact page and changing the RSS button to the more standard orange.
4) The inspirational quotes are nice, but to add more value to the reader, it might help to expand on the quotes with a short commentary on your point of view, what you feel the quote is trying to say, how you’ve applied the quote to real life, etc.

I really like the colour of the blog - I think it makes it look visually much better than other blogs. I would like to see more about how to earn money from blogging. I would also like to see more picture! I am sure most people would like to see more competitions too!

I don’t currently have a blog, so no need to enter me into the competition! Just thought I would give my opinions

1) The thing I like most about TomLeDree.com is that it’s refreshing. Each post is unique and different, yet still has the underlying focus on inspiration. It’s hard to talk about the same kind of thing oftern yet keep it new, but you pull it off really well!

2) What I dislike, hmm going to have to agree with the rest here and say the theme. While it is pretty good, it’s not as inspirational as I think it could be.

3) The top banner for sure… it’s just not inspirational! Where’s the picture of you? Bring it back

4)I’d like to see more posts by guest readers, as that’s always nice and offers a bit more variety. As for posts by yourself, I’d say try maybe writing a really long post on what inspires you and why? If you have done so, and I somehow missed it, please don’t hurt me!

Keep up the great work Tom!

1. The thing I like about this blog is that I always leave the blog feeling inspired!

2. What I dislike is that the visual style of this blog is a little bit bland. They’re easy to read, but it can be better of course.

3. I’d like to change the blog’s theme a bit, of course. In fact, being a designer myself I might like to offer a simple redesign for free

4. I’d like to see more contests, I guess. And inspirational quotes. They’re very easy to read, and leaves a deep impact.

1) What I Like about TomLeDree.com and why: I like the subject, seems like a very positive blog. From what I have read,it seems like good writing.
2) What I dislike and why:More pictures, header image needs spruced up.
3) What I would change:The above comment, I would also add the Blogcatalog widget as welll as Mybloglog. Twitter widget…
4) What I’d like to see more posts about:Can you ever get enough positivity? I think not.

[…] decided that as nearly everyone entering my Blog Feedback Contest suggested changing my theme/header I would update it. I thought about waiting for the contest to […]

1) i think you are very smart about what you post
2)visually, you could add a few fun things…..like, pets, or jokes, other items to click on perhaps
3) maybe add sites that visit you, like blog log, or others, you can see what others may have
4) how about BBQING?……LOL
alyways looking for pictures and ideas here…..

I want in

1. I like the fact that you try to provide interactivity in this blog.

2.Don’t know what i dislike and why

3.Was going to tell you to change the design but now it is way to beautiful and i love it.

4.More post on your lifestyle in your hometown.

1) What I Like about TomLeDree.com and why: I love the writing - your voice is clear, balanced and yes, positive!

2) What I dislike and why: I’m not sure that I could come up with anything I dislike - I like the new theme but I’d like to see a picture of you somewhere - smiling - being POSITIVE would be very inspirational for when I’m in the dumps about something silly.

3) What I would change: More about you and your dreams - where you muster your own inspiration, your positivity.

And I agree with the comment about your communities and readers from your blogging network so we can see who we know that reads you too!

4) What I’d like to see more posts about: How you would motivate yourself to be just as positive in your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond - especially during adversity (as you can tell, I’m NOT in my twenties

P.S. I absolutely positively love your blog ~ Tam

1. I like the lay out, the crisp look and the eclectic collection of inspirations. I also like this contest because all the varied suggestions give me an idea of changes or adjustments I could make with my own blog.

2. I’d prefer the blog to be centered on my screen. I have a 19 inch wide LCD screen and this blog seems to hang out on the left side of my screen. I’d also prefer that the categories were one or two simple words which were not repeated e.g. the word ‘inspirational’ in front of a few categories is confusing at first glance.

3. I’d have the long, thin column moved to the left-hand side, with the content column on the right. I’d then drop the RSS buttons lower down and have the Google ads at the top left-hand side. I’d also change all the links to be blue in color rather than green. It sits better with the MyBlogLog widget and the blog header, plus there’s then less color confusion, more easy on the eyes and less confusing.

4. I would love to see more posts about daily, practical habits we could include in our fast paced existence, for the purpose of increasing productiveness and raising personal consciousness. I’d also like to see some more globally oriented posts, perhaps letting us know about some larger projects that are making a difference to humanity and our planet.

I hope that these make a difference to you and others, Tom. Thank you for the opportunity.

1) What I Like about TomLeDree.com and why:
2) What I dislike and why:
3) What I would change:
4) What I’d like to see more posts about:

1) I like TomLeDree.com, because of all the inspiration you get from reading it. The songs, posts, and quotes. They really do motivate me to keep doing what I like. Keep up the good work!
2) I dislike the banner. I mean it’s a great banner, but it doesn’t really go along with the inspiration theme from my standpoin.
3) I would change the banner that goes along more with the theme.
4) Inspiration posts! You have a lot of them, but they’re really good. Keep them coming!

Hope this helps! Good luck Tom

[…] Thursday I ran a Blog Feedback Contest. The idea was that people would comment and answers 4 questions to do with what they liked about […]

1) What I Like about TomLeDree.com and why: I like the fact that your blog is about inspiration. It is a great theme and a hard one too, but you seem to be on par with it! I like the quotes a lot.

2) What I dislike and why: I don’t like the top navigation area. It seems strange where there is nothing right above them and than the navigation under in the picture like that. If you put something in that blank space maybe it would look better.

3) What I would change: I would remove the nofollow tag from your comments.

4) What I’d like to see more posts about: So far you have a great variety. I think more quotes would be great since those I like a lot. You can also provide your own input on the quotes if you like or why you picked them out to post.
