Hello,

My name is Andrew Flynn, this is obviously my first post on the forum here.

I currently write for, manage, and am growing the blog Your Ingredient.

I'd like to introduce myself to your community here with my background and interests, and hopefully collaborate with some of you through my medium, as well as yours.

Not trying to sell myself or anything yet. Just looking to get an intro to your world and meet people to network with.

I hope you like my blog, and Look forward to learning more about all of you!

I think you're sort of barking up the wrong tree here. I pretty much hate every clothing item you posted on your blog, and I'm pretty sure the that will be the general census here. Most people here dislike graphic tees, logos, hoodies with flashy designs all over, etc. Most people here are into... well just look at the "What are you wearing today thread" at the top of the page. You should take a look, maybe get some ideas for your blog (maybe not).

Good luck with the blog though!

Thanks for the Input guys.

While most of the stuff up there now is graphic tees and items related to that. My plans for it in the future are to turn it into more of a sophisticated total lifestyle blog. Clothing, Furniture, Lighting, Books. I've got alot of articles and items saved that I have been working on over the past weeks and I think that if you check back in a week or so, you're opinion of it will change.

If not I thank you for your input and I will check out that thread for sure.

The content is ok, the brands you feature are not the worst out there, the problem is Hype Beast and Slam X Hype do it so much better. You should try and find a subculture that pleases your own interests and isn't already out there in the mainstream.

As for the site layout it's pretty amateur, it's looks like one of those Build Your Website for beginners formats. I don't know **** about programming but as your willing to put something out into the public domain try and make it look unique. Look at websites as mentioned above to get some ideas for more interesting layouts. All that white and the boring font is "Whickity Whack".
