TheWebMarketingBlog.com Good, Bad, and Bug

November 14, 2007

It found this a great post Last Resort Self-Unbanning. So I read it and tried to submit a comment just to appraise it.

The Good as I can see

1. This site has a professional look.
2. It is well established and has nearly 3,000 community member on MyBlogLog.
3. It is content rich with a niche about marketing and SEO.

The Bad as I can see

1. The banner is too large, it covers 1/3 of my screen height and push the content down.
2. There are some logos of various search engine across the header. Those I feel are not necessary and they take plentiful of valuable space. Why are you advertising the search engines?
3. Also, instead of a horizontal menu I see the subscribe buttons accross the screen between the header and the content. And the way they animate is distorting the display on my screen.

The Bug as I can see

I can't believe it have some bug with the comments form. After submitting the comment I waited for a while without seeing any change in the page. When I scroll up I found this:

Warning: main(../../../wp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/wordpress24/wordpress/wp-content/themes/vantagepress-green-13/vantagepress-green-13/comments-ajax.php on line 2

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../../../wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /www/wordpress24/wordpress/wp-content/themes/vantagepress-green-13/vantagepress-green-13/comments-ajax.php on line 2

I took a screenshot here:

Comment to the author: The file comments-ajax.php is missing. Somehow it's with the theme vantagepress-green-13? I don't know much details about this theme and the plugin they are using on TheWebMarketingBlog.com, so I can't comment on this.

I kindly suggest the author of this blog should fix it soon, so that I and other readers can have our say.

What's Next?

Since this is a first review, I also would like to notify everyone of my intention: I'm not for sale. Reviewing is one of my hobbies and I do so without any bias. Expect me to write more negative reviews than positve reviews.

As a matter of interest, since I'm so happy to review other people's stuff, I'm also happy other review about mine too. So feel free to slap to the face for something I done wrong, or thumb up my good work, all are welcome.
