So you all know that I have been trying to be more selective with my reviews right? Well today we are looking at a site that to put it simply is UGLY. I don’t know what these guys were thinking when they designed it but someone needs a good fresh bucket of water poured on their heads…

Anyways, the site we are looking at is TSS-Radio.com and they sell a lot of SIRIUS Outdoor antennas, the products seem to be good its just the site design that would turn me away instantly.

Below is a screenshot of the site with arrows point to the areas I hate or that need work.

As you can see the first arrow is pointing to the left hand side menu. Before I get to that though I want to go on record by saying that dark grey and dark blue DO NOT MIX! Light grey and blue does but not Dark Grey…

Secondly the top header is just all messed up, its all cluttered with useless info and the shopping cart information barely fits in the box they gave it. Overall a poor design and bad design taste…

Thirdly and lastly the blue fade separation bars on the design, they are decent looking I guess but they again don’t match the dark grey colors at all. Another poor judgement by the designer!

I hope you all learn from these guys mistakes, I find it easier to learn when I’m what not to do as well as some of what to do you know?

Thanks again and be sure to comment below!

Last week, or was it two weeks ago? I told you all that I finally got a video camera and that I would have new videos for everyone soon. To my dismay that did not happen, it turns out that JVC camera I bought did not work at all with my pc or mac.

I finally had enough and started hounding Apple and the Apple Support Forums to see if I could find a solution, after 4 days of doing this and getting no where I finally talked to Apple on the phone and they showed me on there website what cameras I could buy that would work with Imovie HD as I hate Imovie 08, it has like no editing features at all…

I went ahead and ordered my Canon ZR930 Camcorder from Amazon with next day delivery. It should be here tomorrow, I will be testing it with Imovie straight away and hopefully have a video up by the end of this week for all of you guys!

I just ask that you be patient a bit longer, rest assured I am working my best to get this done because I know you all like the vids and remember to comment on these posts so we can hear what you have to say!

I was not going to make an update post like this but I thought it was important since I have had no new videos online. Thank you all once again and God Bless!

Site Updates & News

The last two weeks have been pretty bad for me unfortunately. I have been trying to get a camera that actually will work so I can do my blog vids that all of you tell me you love. Unfortunately my mac with imovie is acting up and none of the new cameras I bought (2 of them) have worked, one worked for one day and then it stopped as well. I have the guys at Apple confused and they have no clue either which stinks because I really need the video portion to work.

Aside from that I have just been chugging along and passing up money left and right because you all don’t want to see my reviews when I post them. I may have a solution for that though, what I may do is create a way so that the reviews are only seen as snippets on the homepage that way you can easily by pass them if you want to and get to the content.

The reviews are how this blog is making its money though so I have a feeling we will go back to them just in a more organized and specific manner. However until I figure out what to do everything will stay as it is.

That’s all I got to say about updates for the week oh and expect a contest starting November 1st! GET READY!

I just have a question….

Where Are My Commentators? You all asked me to post better content and for the last week I have been yet activity dropped from over 15 comments per post down to 1 for the last 2 posts… Whats up guys?

I not only dropped activity but I also passed up on over $100 worth of review because you all told me you did not want to see as many of those, if I don’t get some responses soon I’m gonna go back to my several short posts per day routine that was working awesomely.

C’Mon now guys I’m trying to please you but you gotta help me out to!

Lets face it people, this world needs better logos and there is nobody better then the Custom Logo Design at LogoBang.com. They simply have the skills to make your logo look great!

My only complaint is the price they are charging when I can get logos of this same quality on DP for about $25.00 instead of $40…

However one thing LogoBang.com does have going for them is the fact that they have a client base already built up and most likely will have tons of return customers. Plus they have over a decade of experience designing logos & websites for multi-million dollar companies. That experience is now available for a fraction of what larger companies pay for in-house design services which is true. They not only create great logo designs and stationery. But they also design and build websites as well.

What are your guys thoughts on custom logos? Do you think they really add to a site? I believe they do and there is truly no other better way to brand yourself other then the name of your site and its logo.

I would be open to hearing your suggestions on the subject, if you have any?
