More on Uplifting Websites
I recently shared a link to a website (The PositivityHub) that does its best to provide uplifting yet realistic material and resources for its readers. I incorporated in my post an invitation for other authors who write positive content to list their site with the promise that I would review them as well. Jacqueline Stone took me up on the offer and told me about her site. The message and my follow up are listed below.
“My web site, www.journey2happiness.com, provides articles, images, and videos to inspire and empower visitors. I do not have products for sale. There are no blaring ads or flashing signs. It is a place of peace on the internet where visitors can refresh both mind and spirit. The home page contains links to my blogs, where I welcome comments from other travelers on the Journey to Happiness. I invite you to visit the video page on my site, where you will find video teachings from Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Gregg Braden, and Abraham-Hicks. Everything on my web site is available free of charge. My purpose is to share what I have learned with love and joy that others may come to know what it is to live with peace in their hearts.”
I followed the link back to the site and found it to be just as advertised. The site hosts a collection of essays focused on self-empowerment and recovery from past hurts. In addition the advertisements are also as described, very subtle and well below “the fold.” In fact there are not even embedded content specific advertisements like those I use to defray costs on ElementalTruths.Com.
Additionally the author lists two other blogs On The Journey and Recovering From Abuse, both blogspot sites. They two follow subtle patterns and subdued colors. My only concern with them is that they both have the embedded blogtalk radio features that launch their audio component as soon as you scroll down to that section of the page.
The colors are subdued and the font is muted, presumably to generate a feeling of comfort and safety. I prefer article a different “feel” for my publications. Being a male I naturally lean toward more blues and grays and I accept that isn’t the preference of all.
You should check it out. As a matter of my own interest, I would particularly like to here your reaction to the site based on your gender.
If you enjoy the site, or if you have a site you would like me to explore please comment here or email me at RegAdkins@gmail.com.
