RawrDenim.com - Thoughts?

Superfuturians -

I recently started a raw denim site that I was hoping I could ask for your feedback on.

The blog/site is called Rawr Denim - (www.rawrdenim.com) and the mission is to serve as a complete source of raw denim information, including trends, care guides, background info, etc. In the future we plan to roll out other scalable features (e.g. brand-specific info)

There's a couple reasons why I chose to start Rawr Denim. One, is that it's a passion project. I have a huge interest in raw denim and find it cathartic to catalog to findings, happenings, info, etc. in one spot. I also wanted to just build a site on something I have a strong interest in. Second, while Rawr Denim is not trying to be SuperFuture, Denim Debate, Denim Geek, Denim Archive, etc. (all are heavyweights in the online world of raw denim and provide a ton of value), I found it difficult over the years to find the information I needed. I hope to build Rawr Denim can help solve that problem.

However, I'm not a denim expert by any means and would love to receive any feedback you guys could offer up. Hate the logo, tagline, layout, general purpose, etc.? Seriously, all brutal constructive criticism would be appreciated.

Thx in advance, look forward to hearing from you all.

Nick

Good luck with the site. What did you use to build it?

(I'm looking for a good, clean blog template for something entirely unconnected with denim, preferably on Wordpress, preferably with a pictorial index).

Thanks Paul - I used wordpress and would recommend going with their platform. Quite user friendly and their massive amount of plugins take care a lot of the work for you. You might have to do some customization but that shouldn't be too difficult.

it looks like more of a blog and less like a type website. best of luck.

Thanks DEP for the feedback - yeah it is currently set up like a blog but we're hoping to add on some additional features in a more web application format later.
