It felt good that you did this for me. I am also thankful that you pointed out what I did wrong I knew going into it that the design was sub par I was in a rush trying to get my Entrecard profile set up and honestly didn't think my design through enough.<BR/><BR/>The new design I took more time with and really thought about my purpose as well as who I was ideally trying to attract. <BR/><BR/>Seriously if there is something you feel I could be doing better let me know I am open to constructive criticism.wildheart4vrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847870143268007279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22307668.post-53982341373622848502008-11-26T12:01:00.000-06:002008-11-26T12:01:00.000-06:00Well, the original article was written by me - but please don't shoot me! Maybe you are right and I should have said why the widget isn't that good but don't you think people would get even more focused on it? I'll do it here so you can decide yourself.<BR/><BR/>The widget looses its appeal because of several facts. A widget should grab the attention within a flash and without requiring any "what am I looking at"-thoughts. And this is where you got it wrong. Your background is too 'busy' for your foreground. People only see a red paper-like texture, not the heart. <BR/>The sunburst is barely noticeable at first glance, it looks more of a fold. The sunburst is also the only thing on the image that is not aligned at the center. This can result in a "something is off"-feeling which you should prevent. And another note is the choice of your font, it doesn't work with 'Wildheart' making it almost impossible to read in 'the flash' I previously mentioned. Letters like i and l are very difficult for a small 125*125 image. An example: say without doing any effort the following sequence of numbers and letters out loud: 1Il1Il. Get my drift?<BR/>Anyway, nobody likes to get criticized but I must say you handled it very well. Keep learning, and remember: less is more (especially for a 125*125).Entrexhttp://www.entrecardxploited.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22307668.post-8705797615321123402008-11-12T20:25:00.000-06:002008-11-12T20:25:00.000-06:00Hi Joe,<BR/><BR/>I agree with Sally - Under such strong criticism you handle yourself very well, and with a positive attitude! <BR/><BR/>While I feel his comments were <I>a bit too strong</I> it is good as a learning experiance like you say. If everyone was always overly positive about everything we did it wouldn't encourage us to learn half as much! <BR/><BR/>Keep on living, learning and enjoying life :)Jonathan Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07241737043735707686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22307668.post-91177479976016885052008-11-12T13:15:00.000-06:002008-11-12T13:15:00.000-06:00Good for you Joe.
