Life Style Child Theme - Advice Appreciated

[Terry]

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

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

[sdaughter]

I think it looks fantastic! Well done!

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

Thank you Cyndi.

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
