Re: My Website.... Question about Design?
I haven't seen a website like that since the late 90's when every teenager and his dog was building a website. Looks like he used some lame drag and drop feature.

I voted "It's Perfect!" but the site corrected me with "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again." Oh well.

There are too many pictures of fat people on your fitness site. Maybe some 'after' pics?

On the other hand, I don't think there are enough fat people.

Is the rather large gentleman in the pictures actually you, ldsfaqs?

Re: My Website.... Question about Design?
I don't think any of it looks professional. Rather than using standard Wordpress templates, why not make your own? Or better yet use something like indexhibit which will teach you how to build your own website and encourages sleek and functional aesthetics. Above all, do NOT link all your projects together. No one is going to be impressed with a business that links to a family site decorated in a mommy blog scrapbook motif or references "liberals and other scum" on other linked pages.
You could really benefit from looking at good graphic design. I'd happily direct you to some examples since I know a lot of people who work in this field. However, I'm pretty sure you'll dismiss anything I have to say since you've already pronounced me to be "ignorant and profoundly wicked in [my] behavior and judgments of Mormonism and Mormons"* and I'd rather not be threatened with a punch in the face like you offered in another thread to those correcting your most egregious mistakes and errors.
*Funny that a whole lot of believing Mormon intellectuals and historians don't agree you on this, but I'm sure your much more perceptive than they are.

Revelation given at Mormon Discussions 15 April 2012 to ldsfaqs. Ldsfaqs had been seeking guidance concerning his websites, and the Lord responded to these requests.
1. Verily, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, who also is the Lord of busboys and waitresses, unto my servant, ldsfaqs;
2. For inasmuch as thou has sought counsel in regard to thy websites, behold, blessed art thou in this thing,
3. For thy site http://www.ldsfaqs.com/ containeth no substantive content, and in this wise is like unto General Conference,
4. Wherefore, change not a thing, except it be suspicious and unverifiable war stories; or quotes from C.S. Lewis and Robert Frost; or the wisdom and guidance of a profundity usually known unto the world through Hallmark greeting cards;
5. And thus shall thy website be consistent with the lessons from mine anointed in these last days;
6. Moreover, it is also expedient in me that thine exercise tapes should be designed for a conservative Latter-day Saint audience, for it is expedient in me that Glenn Beck and his disciples remove their back parts from the couch from time to time;
7. Behold, ldsfaqs, thou has a peculiar gift in speech, and it is pleasing unto me that thou shalt use it continually,
8. Yea, say, say, say, what thou wantest, but thou shalt not play games with mine affections,
9. Take, take, take what thou shalt need, but it is forbidden unto thee to leave me with no direction;
10. For the thoughts of thine heart are sacred above all other things; wherefore, I will bless thee that thy thoughts shall confuse all other people, that they might be astonished, lest in their haughty intellect they trifle with that which is sacred,
11. Pay thee no heed to the wise and the learned in the things of this world, who make Babylon their home, for lo, the mommy blog scrapbook motif is delightsome unto me;
12. And if any shall take issue with the wisdom I have imparted unto thee, behold I shall make thee strong like unto Sampson of old, even unto the striking them in the face with thy fist of righteous indignation;
13. For with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again; therefore, use not the metric system, for it is fit only for socialists and the military,
14. Even so. Amen.

Re: My Website.... Question about Design?
ho hum.... Should have known I wouldn't get much "constructive" here. (although I did know, sadly couldn't post the question where I most wanted to).
Anyway....
Yes, the fat guy is me.... That's a what a terrible woman who isn't supposed to be so terrible can do to a man.
by the way Blixa...... Several of those websites are some of the most professional designed ones on the net. I just need to get them fully set up, so they more look like it.
Anyway, can anyone give ACTUAL constructive comments on the particular site I asked about???
Thanks.
Oh, and thanks to the guy who said it was "perfect". Although, given the comments, I don't know if to take it seriously or if there's a little sarcasm in the statement. Oh well. :(
