The Hazey: A blog & fansite for Discworld & Lego fans

Website Name: The Hazey
Website link: http://thehazey.co.uk

Description: The Hazey is a blog and fansite for Discworld & Lego fans. I will share my thoughts and insights plus will offer resources for other collectors. I will be writing reviews and posting my thoughts on upcoming books or already released books or Lego set releases and anything else I feel people will enjoy reading. Also the aim is to grow it into a rich resource for other collectors, with downloadable Discworld book lists and lego set lists, plus galleries of my collection.

 

One of the best looking blogs I have seen

 

Thanks pal, that means a lot to hear that, it is still very new and there is a lot to go on to the site as I slowly build it up. It will be great for fans of either Discworld or Lego to comment on my posts to get other peoples thoughts on my blogs.

 

Looks good! One suggestion, though, consider moving the about text in the sidebar to the top, rather than the middle, I had to search for it. I personally would move the about text in the sidebar above the share links, but that's just me.

Did the site used to be something else? the name seems vaguely familiar.

 

It has been my domain name for many years and used it for a forum last year. Also for the suggestion will have a play around with the sidebar to see what looks better, thanks for the tip.

Latest blog post
Gold Coin Replacements: http://thehazey.co.uk/?p=485

 

Wow, didn't thing Lego's Customer Support would be so poor.

 

what you on about they have been brilliant, they did not have to give out replacement parts as their plan was to have the dull gold but when people complained they decided to revert back to the shinny ones,their customer service is top notch IMO

 

Oh okay, I guess they expected to get away with selling those dull parts.
And by the way do you have the option for Search Engine friendly urls for your blog? It would help you out. So instead of:

Your url structure would be something like http://thehazey.co.uk/Gold-Coin-Replacements=485 (Just an example)
Since it's a blog it will come in much handier for you.

 

Yep I could do it that way but not a fan of url like that and never seen the benefit either

 

Oh okay, but yea it does help though. I will be visiting your blog from time to time to see what you have published on there. Makes me want to go buy some legos, I love them haha. (I like the small kind)

 

Grat and if you can tell me how I would benefit from changing the links I will do as always open to new ideas even thought I am very stuck in my ways

 

Well there are certain things that google looks for when indexing a site, and urls with that structure make it much more easier for google to index. Not much good at explaining
