New Theme For Search For Blogging
Posted by Mert Erkal on Apr 15, 2009 in Blog | 10 commentsYesterday a lot of readers asked me the same question:”Why all of a sudden have you changed your blog’s theme?”.
Well, it wasn’t an easy decision. Because I really liked the previous theme. However SEO-wise it was terrible. The HTML codes of the previous theme wasn’t fully compatible with W3C standards.
Due to these errors, my blog’s search engine indexing rate has always been less than the real rate. In other words Google bots were not fully indexing my blog. These HTML errors were preventing them to spend more time on my blog. With that theme I will never ever achieve my blog’s true potential. So I decided to change the theme immediately.
Even though I am still making the last minute changes, I want to get feedback from you. How do you find my blog’s new look? Do you have any suggestions?

you must fix comments..because there is a problem
Thank you so much Bahadirhan for letting me know about this serious problem. It was related to CSS codes. I changed the color for comments as black, and we fixed it.
Old theme was good but this theme better than it. because i can see the last blog post at my first look.
i just want to see MERT’s photo near “about mert” text.
You are not the only one asking for my photo. I will do this as soon as possible. Thanks!

It looks good Mert!
I’d like to see your photo at the top of the site near your short bio/intro. Other than that, everything looks slick and clean. I make some small tweaks at Simply blog, check it out as I’d like you know what you think. Cheers!

Thanks Miguel. I will talk with my designer to place one of my lovely photos over there. I will check your blog immediately, will leave my comments to your blog soon.
i want to say something just about logo.. Site’s logo must be bigger. It was big at the last theme. It’s really good logo.. who found it ?
It is designed by Ilker Yoldas, one of the most talented Turkish graphic designers. You can check his website at http://www.ilkeryoldas.com. Unfortunately the theme does not let us place a larger logo.
Awesome, she did a nice job with the design.
Stumbled and reviewed!
