    Bogartkick,

    First of all, you need a logo. The blog text is too small and there is a large blank spot to the right of the blog posts that should be filled with ad's or something else. The green adsense ad is REALLY bright too. You may want to make it match your site so that it blends in and looks like content.

    Nice layout and color schemes but it looks like an incompleted blog due to the lot of white blank spaces.Need more content to make the blog fully constructed.

    Actually, it's Clickbank ads......not Adsense. By the way, it cannot be fixed when it comes to posting, because this is a fixed script. The huge space will be filled once I have more posts.

    I've already edited the Clickbank ad banner color and already got a logo. Also, I've added another interesting content, which I got from the forex news and updates.

    Check it again!

    Nice template selection..

    Now work hard adding more content regularly.

    You will also need to add more interactivity in your blog. Make a Logo and Favicon for your site and add more widgets.

    Provide catchy social bookmark tools and show a subscribe option.

    Change the location and look of the advertisement and match it with the theme of the website. Dark blue color and rounder corners.

    Add some menu in the menu bar, like home, about us, contact, advertise with us etc

    Change the titles as follows
    Followers --> Join our fan club
    Blog Archive --> Achieved articles
    Labels --> Articles by topics
    Subscribe to --> Bookmark and Share


    Hope it helps :)

    Thanks for the advice. Actually I already added a FAVIcon appeared in my Google Chrome browser, but I think its not yet applied here in IE or Firefox, and already changed the titles.

    I really don't know how I add a menu bar and a logo beside my title or behind my title? Because the template I uploaded was already customized. I will try add more widgets soon. I'm not sure yet of the advertisement......
    .
    However, this blog is still fresh but not yet indexed by Google even verified.

    Once again thank you for your honest comments! I need more help from you guys!:D

    Nice to see that you readily implemented my suggestions in your blog.
    I checked for the fevicon and I found that it is not showing in Chrome but showing correctly in Firefox, moreover favicon doesn't require you to implement it in all browsers separately, you have probably done something wrong.
    And finally adding a logo and menu is not so difficult. you can make the changes in the XML template file..

    Add some more content and put in some forex rates.

    A news feed with relevant articles would be good or the Ezinearticles widget.

    He should be able to pick up a widget at one of the main Forex providers. He should be able to find a news feed as well.

    Nice suggestions you got there sitesforsale and shailuars. Could you teach me how to get news feed and live forex rates widget? I loved to do it for my forex blog.

    Btw, I updated my blog with a whole new content that I rewrite it by myself from the forex news in a website. Soon, I could add more content to this blog.

    And I'm not really good on how to add them in XML template file.

    Cheers!

    Option: You can also my blog if you want, or how could I get more fans to this one?

    You will need to search out some of the Forex sites you visit. They should have a widgets section with instructions. It should be just a matter of location this and following the directions regarding pasting the code into your site. It's not hard - just do a little legwork to find what you need.

    Very nice site, I think the advice of shailuars is very good, and The blog text is too small and there is a large blank spot to the right of the blog posts.

    candies,

    The blank spot will be filled once I added many contents. You will see it when I will update my forex blog.

    I'll update soon. Cheers!

    If you put a banner of a product that you are an affiliate of, it could be better for you. Also the site need a logo.

    Hahaha! It's style dude! They're not really aligned. It's already fixed on this template.

    And what link in the blog title are you referring to that was removed?

    I don't need your services.....it's either you charge me or you can just steal my account. I can do this on my own.

    BTW: I've already added a cool widget to my site. Will post contents tomorrow to fill up the remaining space.

    Thats a nice way to treat with people who are helping you and are willing to help you! By the way no one can STEAL your account if you give him your XML file.
    Hope you always find people better than you.
