Hi!

You have a nice-looking site, but it seems to load a bit slowly. One thing I noticed is that it is throwing a lot of W3C errors. Cleaning those up and simplifying the code a little in order to reduce page load time would help with SEO. The theme also seems to include a ton of links on each page - such as 2 links to your author page, a link to the category, a link to comments, social plugins, and an unnecessary link to each individual quote. This means on many pages you'll have over 100 links, which the search engines frown upon. Stripping out unnecessary links could help. I like to limit social media icons to 3 or 4 services, whatever is popular with visitors to that site.

Another thing you will want to do is install a plugin such as Yoast's WP SEO so that you can set a different title tag and meta description for each page/post/category on the site.

You might also consider changing your logo so that the words appear as text instead of just in an image. And, I'm a little curious why you have the word "Pictures" twice in the header.

Nice-looking site, and you've obviously spent a lot of time collecting quotes. Keep up the good work. Those Facebook Likes and any other social media you do will help.

I said this on my last review and I'll say again now, I'm not the most experienced so I may make a mistake in this review, I doubt it though.

A problem I see right away is the logo, it really doesn't match your color scheme and the wording on it isn't the greatest. I would take the bevel/emboss off of it or at least lower it by a lot and then definitely take off the outer glow. Also I don't feel that the red really matches the color scheme real well, and the palm tree again doesn't look like it macthes. So unless you've had that logo for a really long time I would recommend scrapping it entirely.

Otherwise I think its a very nicely set up site, the 'post' boxes look good, all of your buttons look good, the submit a quote looks easy enough. Final thing I don't like is the little flashing statistics box at the bottom, maybe just change those into lines of text (not flashing).

hi sir , thank you for your advice especially about set a different title tag and meta description for each page/post/category on the site. I'm working on it now starting with category then page then posts , how you see my chance to be in the first 3 page google for hight keyword about quotes ?

I really like the quotes!

The title and description meta tags are not unique to each page though. Fixing that to make them unique will really help drive traffic to your site!

Also, the "Topics" link seems a bit repetitive as they are also in the tag cloud, and the navigation bar.

Overall, great concept and a great looking site!

As RedScooter made note of the many social media buttons I'm also noticing on the "Topics", "Submit a Quote" and "Links" pages there seems to be much duplication of these submission buttons. Many of the same ones look to be in the header, footer and left sidebar of the main content area.

Using FF13 the main content area BG (white paper) has a horizontal gap near the bottom (just below the Share and Enjoy links) of about 6px allowing the page BG to show through.

The right column for me looks very disjointed. At the bottom the grey box is distanced from the Facebook entity while the Google AdChoice spills over the box both left and right.

Now I'll bookmark the page as I need to peruse more of the inspiring quotes.

Simple layout with nice design. But maybe you can work a little bit with the logo to matches the simple looks of your site.

Loading slow.
