    Please review my blog, this is my first blog and first ever website running.

    If anyone has some tips or suggestions about how I can improve or generate more revenue (2$ a day I am after) please advise... I am REALLY new to blogging and have NO experience.

    I also want to know on how I can automate the blog so I don't have to keep updating it.

    Any feed back will be muchly appreciated.

    Phil.

    Hi there Phil.

    Your site has an interesting look to it that I don't normally see, with the images and information on their own, on the left side of the posts. The RSS button looks pretty good. The sidebar could use some styling, as it looks pretty generic at the moment. The Home and About buttons at the top have an appealing mouse-over effect. The header area seems slightly gray and dull. I would say the site is in fairly good shape as it is.

    Nice site.

    It has content and the aesthetics are pleasing. A dash of colour here and there, on a muted background does wonders.

    A couple of suggestions. The load page is simply too much. Is there any ways for you to use teasers on the front page just to make it simpler and make the information more accessible.

    There are a couple posts/articles that use a different style. I think that they are in bold. Making them all the same would be better, in my opinion.

    BTW, I am trying to stop smoking and know how difficult that is. :)
