    Very nice header, but the swoosh makes it more difficult to read. Consider reworking your pages. Also, move the tagline directly under the header. Take advantage of the whole canvas, the area you leave blank on the sides is HUGE!

    Thanks for the comments. I am in the process of hiring someone to create a professionally designed top header for my blog to give it a bit more 'oumph'.

    I will try to shorten the space of the sidebar. Currently its been shortened by about 20px. I will be putting something on the sidebar soon which will be pretty wide (and hopefully will work), though I will need to check to see how wide it is, then I will shorten it down accordingly.


    -------
    Thanks again for all the ongoing comments :)
    - Means alot ;) Keep em coming!

    The top banner is finished. It was done by: Ariestoteles here on the forum. He does awesome work and I highly recommend him :)

    Thanks :)

    How does everyone like it?

    new theme is good but i think changing the background will make it better. (try grey or black backgrounds. ) :)

    I will try a dark grey tomorrow morning and see whether or not I like it. I did try to stick with a general green but lately, since I put in a bit more greys, it will actually probably work. :) Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks for the comment. Be sure to put those links in your sig sometime when you get your first chance ;) that kind of threw me off guard when I tried to quote, hehe.

    Yeah, the overall theme was completely coded by me (with the help of DP members posting in here - plus the top header was commissioned by an artist here on DP). I've just been tweaking it every now and then (atleast since I started the post a week or two ago). Its just been evolving ever since (with the suggestions of all the DP members who have checked the post).

    Overall:
    You guys have been really great, trying to help me out and point me in the right direction. Everyone who has posted here is completely awesome for their efforts :)

    Wow, this has been one of the more popular threads in the website review section, you guys rock for that too! I thought this thread would have died off ages ago. Keep those suggestions coming ;) hehe.

    ... and then it was resurrected. lol!

    Thanks for the comments though. Yeah, I modded the whole blog (mind you, with a bit of frustration) by myself from the default wordpress theme. I might try to create a few 'decent' free ones in the future as blog entries.
