    Hi guys,

    I've changed my blogs theme a few times, but I think I've now changed it for the last time.

    I'm looking for detailed reviews. Suggestions such as changing the color(s), moving widgets, adding widgets, etc..

    Thanks!

    honestly - I don't like the way that the two top posts appear. I'd suggest to make it two-parts posts (short introduction and then 'read more' button). I'd post it in one column. And too much blue for me... But anyway - great job!

    Thanks :)

    Do you suggest that I make the 2 featured articles smaller, or I increase my regular blog content to be the same size as the 2 featured?

    your Google Adsense color should be different, I believe. Making it green makes the site too strong for my eyes. A contrasting Google adsense color may give the site more relaxing appeal.

    Increasing the width of your main column would be better. Otherwise you are just wasting space. :)

    Do you really think that you need all those bookmarking and blog ranking buttons? For my taste the page has little bit too much gadgets which don't fit in your layout.

    Not a big fan of the green line over the green line by the main menu. I would just get rid of the one underlining the menu.

    The layout needs some work. Try playing around with font sizes for each section. Just appears to have too much going on. Remember "KISS". Too much of one thing is not often better. Lighten up on the content and ads. I'm all about visual appeal. Though a clean combination of colors, they are all over the place.

    Not a bad start, though.

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I have got rid of some of the white space on the left & right, I removed the bookmarking buttons.

    I also increased the size of the font.

    Any other suggestions?
