    I like your blog. Maybe you should change the title to Myth Buster :)

    Great ideas, but ReformedSinner I'm am trying not to copy in any way the famous mythbusters. At most I post videos with them.

    bayu200687 this is one of the things I want to do to the blog in the near future.

    Any other opinions?

    Thank you very much for your opinions. They really help. I've modified the number of posts, and reduced it to 5 so the first page wouldn't be so long. On the sidebar I will add real soon some banners so the site will look more atractive. Any other sugestions ?

    The template and the designs looks good, I like it. But the title looks simple, try to color it..

    I like the design, it's different (at least to me) and stands out in my mind.

    Some of the content I have issue with - For example your Achilles post. I like what your saying and it's very readable, but they just stop leaving me wondering what the point was. If it were me, I'd try to find out the facts and write about them after I'd hooked them in with your opinionated opening - it's a decent hook for the reader. Or maybe just links to a 'facts' website to prove or disprove your point - like you did with the mythbuster's video in the banana peel myth.

    Do this and get your content more regular (say once a day or at least once every two days) and I'd definitely revisit the site because it does genuinely grab my interest.

    Hope this helps.

    c0s, your blog template looks very narrow. I think you should make it wider :)

    @kjb: From now I will try to write a post at least once a day. The idea for the content and how to write the myths it's pretty good.

    @ReformedSinner: I now that it looks very narrow, but that is what I found. In the future I hire a designer to make me a unique design.

    Looks good.
    but the design makes the text hard to read in my opinion..
    good luck

    Nice design.
    Maybe adding a function where you can rate the myths, then make a list of the top five myths.
    Or maybe make a function where you can suggest a myth for you to "evaluate".

    Good luck
