This is a blog site that went live recently. Neither of us has any experience programming or building websites. I have managed to change the theme I found for wordpress so that it works the way I want it to. Anybody have any suggestions of any kind? Are there any security type issues that I should be aware of?

Thanks

Edit: Bad timing I guess. The site is on the server that is currently under a DDoS attack. Hopefully back up soon.

You've done a pretty good job for people who have no experience with sitebuilding. I don't think you need alt tags for every link in your menu. Normally, the alt tags are good for images and are provided so that Google (which cannot read images) can find more relevant content on your site. Plus, your alt tags are pretty big and hide other links in the menu.

Also, you can have your external links open in a new page so that people have a way back to your site.

Thank you for you input. What is the easiest way to open links in a new window?

Add a target="_blank" attribute to the A tag:


<a href="mylink.php" target="_blank">LINK TEXT</a>
