    Many thanks for the comments and feedback.

    I'll look at making some of the changes you've mentioned.

    I have implemented Google Adsence, when someone clicks on the post to write a comment, and occassionally within blog posts.

    But why you haven't put adsense unit on the home page?

    I hate adsense because it makes the blog look untidy, this is why I have at the moment just added it to individual blog posts.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I've now added Social bookmark in the sidebar, rather than against each post.

    Yeah I have checked that. But that will not allow the reader to bookmark individual post. You have a good blog. and trust me that individual post bookmarks will get you many backlinks.

    Good point about the backlinks - I'll add social to the posts ASAP.

    Thanks :)


    Edit: I have now added socialable bookmarks on each post using the share-this plugin

    Very nice easy to read layout - original and I can tell you paid attention to detail.

    Thanks! :)

    I've had a reader mention that the sidebar is not visable in Firefox, is anyone else having this problem?

    The sidebar appears to jump down the bottom of the page, but I am not sure what is causing this.

    Thanks! :)

    Problem sorted with FF.

    The banners on the sidebar don't seem to be aligning properly so I need to look into that next. I love FF but its a pain in the rear end to code for.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    I'm not adding ads at the moment, like adsense and instead building traffic.
