    I was keeping this thread in another section of the forum when some learned member of DP advised me to have it in Reviews.

    I would appreciate your review on my first ever blog.

    Thanks and Regards

    Nice blog. Just compress its width into little bit smaller and change the alignment of the content into justify style.

    I am familar with this blogger template and know the massive tweaks that you can make to it. Here are a few things I see that needs attention:
    • Move the sidebar stuff higher up...
    • Add a footer...just look at the footer's for some of your fav sites to get an idea(not copy!)...
    • Add Privacy Policy and Financial Disclosure...
    • Include better graphics within posts...
    • Add blogroll type links to sidebar...
    • Possibly use the 'read more' feature for posts on the main page in order to improve CTR...
    • Come up with nice graphics for header as there are plenty of free tools to do this plus Blogger has good instructions for it as well (a better header period)...
    • Use bulletin styled formats for posts containing lists (like I am doing here!)...
    • and add some type of subscription form...

    I understand this is your first one and I know the feeling, but to be in this business you have got to look professional. And you can do it without spending any money!

    Much Success to you :)

    The design is too generic.
