Life Style Child Theme - Advice Appreciated
 
My 11 year old grandson and I have continued to make changes to his site http://kidsspeakforamerica.com . Any additional ideas, suggestions and advice you can offer to make the site more appealing to both kids and adults will be appreciated.

Thanks, Seth and grandpa Terry

I can't get the site to open....

sdaughter 10-18-2010 07:58 AM

I can't get it to open, either.

I apologize but site went down last night and should be restored now.

Tell Seth I think he's done a really good job, and I shared the site on Facebook.

Can you find something to be a favicon? There are free sites that will allow you to put a graphic into the right size and auto-save it as an .ico file, which you'll then need to upload to your theme's images file.

You might think about adding quizzes at some point, and maybe ask your readers to write in. There's a plugin called CoAuthor that would even allow you to have a friend make guest posts and share authorship.

Congrats on your grandson's entrepreneurial spirit!

I like the background choice - I think it coordinates nicely with your header graphic :):

sdaughter 10-18-2010 02:21 PM

I think it looks fantastic! Well done!

Opher, thank you for the kind words and the wonderful ideas. I have passed them on to Seth and he thought they were great. Rebecca, we are pleased that you like the background. Shelly thank you so very much Seth is very pleased with the ideas and comments the 3 of you have given.

I love it and the background is nice, reminds me of Norman Rockwell.

Thank you Cyndi.

Just reporting back
 
Just wanted everyone to know that my grandson Seth's website http://kidsspeakforamerica.com is doing well. He has taken many of the suggestions that have been posted here and plans to add more of them over time as the traffic increases even more. Continued suggestions for improving the site are appreciated. While the kid is only 11 he wants to continue building a site that is really good. To raise money to support his site and save money for college he also has an amazon book store. Seth would also appreciate any links to the site that people care to give him.
Thanks, Terry
