Hello. I signed up so I could receive some constructive feedback on my website. This site is for a passion of mine. I didn't create it to make money, though that could happen in the future.

The purpose of the site is to write reviews and articles about the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and gather a community around it. The site is only 4 months old, and I'm trying to figure out how to attract people who would be interested in a site like this.

But with that being said, what are some things I could improve on currently, visually or otherwise? Thank you in advance.

I like the theme you used.  You might try to make a more personal site, including more of you.  Connecting to a human is a lot easier for people to do.  Hope that helps.

Your site looks so cute! I like the homepage, but I think other pages look a little bit too simple... Try better composing for your article page and review page.

I like the look and feel and how you incorporate different characters on each page, but the header takes up way too much room to where people don't see any content until they start scrolling.  However, by having the menu bar at the top people can easily click and go to where they want to go.  

Also, does your them support widgets or sidebars?  Having links to categories and popular posts is a good way to keep people on the site.  Also, you could have you login box and a "like" and "follow" button on each page as well which could help to build up your audience on Facebook and Twitter. 

Overall, very well done.

I purposely used a theme that allowed for such a large header so those characters would be prominently displayed.

My theme does allow for widgets and side bars, but due to some glitch in the theme, when I choose to do that, a comments closed phrase is shown at the bottom of my pages. I don't want that seen, thus I'm forced with no sidebars.

Thanks for your input. I really do appreciate it.

Great theme! Not sure of the logo.  Its OK, but an OK logo is a missed opportunity to impress someone.  First impressions and all.  I think its just the font, but it just may be me ;)

Have you thought about adding SEO Videos to your internet marketing strategy?

 The font is a Super Mario Bros font, so I thought it would go perfect with the premise of my site. I may look into different options in the future. Thanks for chiming in.

I like the look of it. It's pretty easy to navigate. The only thing that stuck out that I found didn't fit was the background image, what's that, wood paneling or something? I don't think it fits with the theme of your site, you should change it. Other than that, I like it.

Thanks for the feedback Marvelio. I'll see if the background can be changed.
