New Blog- The School Of Gooner

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Think you need to sort the background. Its too loud, fussy and distracting.
Other than that its pretty good. :barscarf:

I know, still playing around with the layout to get something that works. Been having some trouble with the template designer on my laptop :oops:

No offence intended but ..

Do you have a spell-ckecker ? .. the amount of spelling, grammar, and typing mistakes in your blog is .. hmm .. shocking for a blog ? :rubchin:

Background definitely needs a change. I notice you're on blogspot; I haven't tried it myself, but if you find it frustrating, I've had really good experience with wordpress so far for my own blog (CanadianGunners.ca - shameless plug :barscarf: )

Read the first post about Santos. Content is good, but there were a couple minor little grammatical things. "He is a player who shows glimpses of brilliance: cavaliering..." - that sentence should use ';' and not ':'. Also be careful about capitalisation in headings, words like "or" should not be in caps there.

Otherwise keep it up! I think just a couple little fixes in presentation would go a long way.

It is good.
Concise readable posts that get to the point.
Your style of writing is straightforward which I like; too many blogs have the writer trying and failing to be something special style-wise which detracts from the subject discussed.
