Should I be THIS excited about my circ blog??

Haha.
Check it out. I am not finished. I will probably be done tomorrow.
I am posting backwards. The stuff you see now will end up on the bottom. I couldn't figure out how to post from top to bottom. Ah well. It will look the same in the end

It looks good!

I was a bit confused when I got to the restoration part, but I think it was because you don't have it in order yet. You might want to add a bit more under restoration, it seems sparse compared to the others, but no biggie, and i am biased since I am restoring.

Good Job, well worded, easy to read and get the message from.

Regards

I wasn't planning on adding more on restoration.
Since you are going through this process at the moment, maybe you give me some more info. about it. What do you feel is important to add?

I was going to say this as well. Great work so far! It looks nice!

Hmmm. I am not sure why you are confused. Should I maybe put Restoration of the Circumcised penis instead? Or are you confused on where I placed it?
I thought it would be good at the end because after all of the info about circ I thought it would be good on how it can be corrected. Kind of like..Rest assured..you can still do something.

I haven't read through the site yet but I wanted to post my initial reaction. I understand that you are trying to make an impression and rightly so, but having worked in marketing before I can tell you that the color choice seems too much to me. I think that many of the people who I would forward a link to in order to try to sway them away from circ would be so turned off by the radical blood red color scheme that they wouldn't bother to read the content. This is such an important message and at first glance it seems you have lots of good info compiled, you might want to think about inviting people in so they will read the message (like sitting down with a good friend to discuss something important over a cup of tea) as opposed to trying to make such a bold in-your-face statement that they might shy away before they even get to the message (like the animal rights activists that throw pails of pig's blood).

Just my humble opinion.

I didn't think the blog was in-your-face at all I don't have any pictures of screaming babies or yelling mutilation.
This blog isn't for my friends. I can sit down for a coffee with them. This is for people who will not get the information they need. People who come online for information. I would like to help get the word out there. I feel that I could help reach a lot more people by doing it this way.

I was just with Greg on the fact that maybe more info on restoration is needed. Maybe the different types of restoration products. Some stories of men and women affected by restoration. Etc.

Oh, I didn't mean that you would send your friends there rather than talk with them, I was saying that imo if you made the color scheme a bit more casual and inviting that people would feel more welcome and comfortable reading and exploring the information you have posted. To me the dark red and gray, when paired with this topic, has a more radical/violent feel than beige and ivy green just for an example - just my opinion, and even though circ is a violent action if your point is to educate people then you want them to feel drawn into the site for contemplation. This could just be my color preferences coming through, but I know that in the marketing world you use bold colors for a big one-off statement and more soothing colors for a longer in-depth message. There really is no way to appeal to everyone with color though, so if you love it then I say keep it because it is your creation and should speak of and to you!

I was able to read through more of the site and the it looks like lots of good info and links and is pretty logically laid-out. Not sure what the pps meant exactly but the issue of confusion about the restoration part may have to do with the fact that the last couple of paragraphs from, "Many doctors are not adequately educated about the normal, intact penis..." to the end seem to be under the restoration heading but don't really have to do with restoration. Maybe move them to a more appropriate heading or give them their own heading?

Otherwise it really does look like you are doing a great job, and a great service!
