    Please review my new blog about 'world's greatest mysteries'
    As I said, it's a new site (3-4 days) and its content is pretty low/small.

    I want to know if you guys like the ideea and so on...because I want to make an ideea about how it will be like...1 year from now.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Pretty nice, though you should use something else than blogger, maybe wordpress?
    And for your own sake, get an "About" page, it will help your visitors get interested.
    Also, why does it say "0 comentarii" instead of "0 omments"?

    I think your site could get some visitors within a year, it's not like your posts are boring. You just need to get them interested enought to come back for more.

    Fixed the thing with "comments". Now i'm working at the About page. As for the wordpress suggestion can you tell me why ? I mean I'm very friendly with blogger control panel but I can switch to wordpress if you give me a good reason.

    Thanks for your review!

    It looks ok, but if you are serious about it, again, why not move to a more professional blogging platform? Why not build something with Typepad or Wordpress?

    In terms of what you can do with this one, I would say try to cut down on the clutter, and focus on content. At the moment it is very hard to read with all that fluff around the edges.

    I suggested wordpress to you because it has more functions and better designs.
    It also looks and feels more professional for the users.

    Great that you have started with the About page! :)

    I very much like the built in Google translator for the language. You already have a visitor too :) This kind of stuff, the world's great mysteries, is right up my alley!

    @Wulkan91 Thank you very much for you advices.
    @createdevelop, trust me, I would move my blogger blog to Wordpress. But from what I heard wordpress doesn't allow to public AdSense ads. Am I wrong? and, you said "At the moment it is very hard to read with all that fluff around the edges." Do you mean the sidebars? You want me to simplify them ? I'm not sure I understand. (my english is limited)
    @supernal Thanks for being honest.

    Ok guys, I just transferred my content to http://mysteriesblog.wordpress.com
    Now, the problem is that I don't have the PLUGINS menu in my AdminPanel. What should I do ?
    Another problem is that I don't know how to add AdSense between posts or in the sidebar. Can you guys help me? Thanks!

    Sorry for these newbie questions, it's my first time using wordpress and I'm not familiar with it.

    I decided, i'm staying with the blogger blog. Wordpress doesn't allow me to add adsense ads.


    Soooooo, what do you think about http://mysteries-blog.blogspot.com/ ?? Any other ideas / suggestions. Is my ads placement ok ?

    Wordpress does allow you to add AdSense. Although, it's not as easy as blogger makes it, but you can customize it more if you know what to do.
