    What is the goal of your site ? Are you going to have a camping blog with some camping supply offers ?

    Are you looking for just suggestions on layout or color ?

    If you can be more specific you can get more targeted help.

    The first thing I notice is that the menu on top is overlapping the body. This is probably controlled by the theme.

    Do you know how to get to the admin area of wordpress ? Go to www.yoursite.com/wp-admin Then login with your admin username and password.

    Depending on the theme the settings could be in different places.

    I just checked your site again, looks like you changed themes from yesterday. Looks much better. If you still need help post specific things you need help with. I was going to respond yesterday, but got pulled away. I'm glad you figured some of it out.

    Here is a link to some free themes I created. http://topwebsecrets.com/themes/

    The theme I have loaded on that page is Socarates, which is a premium theme which is not free, but is designed for marketers by marketers. It is $47 for single domain and $77 for unlimited domains. I will be posting a quick review here shortly. But if you click on the socrates logo at the bottom you can view the informative video that shows all the features.

    Good luck with your site and let me know if I can help in any way.

    It doesn't look too bad but the first thing I see is a ton of places to click....

    It might just be personal preference, but I like to have blogs set up so each page links to teh next so in yoiur case I could be reading a page on best waterproofing for a tent and then there would be two links at the bottom...one to take me to the previous post and one to take me to the next.

    That makes it really easy to navigate the page and you can also have a "previous posts" link that takes the visitor to all of the old posts.

    Socrates is a good theme as are many of the Woo Themes.

    Hi Elite Members

    Thanks for your kind help and suggestions.
    @ PMAJOR Yes i have tent supplies affiliate.I was looking out for suggestions on my theme but the problem i was facing has been solved to a very great extent. The theme was looking very bad but has been improved to a great extent with some of the very good themes that you gave. Now you can have a look once again and see the geat improve. Thanks a ton.

    @Mike Murhy I would be very grateful if you explain that one once cause i just could not understand that. I have created different pages rather than posts. Could explain once again if you dont mind.

    @DKIBBY
    Would be be grateful if you could give me some ideas for branding. In the sense if i do want to go about it how do i? Kindly suggest some ideas for a newbie.After seeing the sight could kindly explain "having all the scripts on the left panel on the right hand side"
    In respect to Google Ads could you suggest the size that i should have and the placement of the same and the colour scheme?

    Site looks good, but still a problem with the navigation at the top.

    You can fix this by Shortening the names or alias of your pages. Or Remove the pages from the top nav menu. Sorry I am not sure how to do that in the newer releases of WP. Probably somewhere in the admin menu. You probably know since you added them there.

    Since the Pages are all listed in the sidebar, you can place only selected pages in the top nav menu, like About | Products |Contact .....

    I think that would make it look cleaner.

    If you find you have too many links to put across, you can try a Parent| Child format where Pages are nested.

    If you have not done so, you should set up Categories. This is another way visitors can find information. Each Page or post should have a category.
