My First Own Made Theme - Need feedback please..

    I have made a custom them for my blog: http://wakish.info
    One issue which I have is cross-browser compatibility.
    I have tried my best to make it appear as expected in most important browsers like IE, Opera, Mozilla, Safari and Konqueror.

    I will need your help if possible with the following:
    => Please view my blog in the different browsers that you have and provide feedback with:
    1) Browser used
    2) Appearance

    ==> Also, I would like to know your opinion on the "Look and Feel" of my new design?

    Thank you for your time dear friends!

    All that blue and red was hurting my eyes, no kidding and also too much italic, and the background images for
    ".: Favorite Posts :. .: Popular Posts :. .: Recent Posts :. " look weird to me.

    In IE7 I see some problems here and there with posts titles overlapping the date and 'written by' area but they are ok in FF and Opera, btw try to remove the border for images like smilies.

    Last thing, I think that the blue (#0000ff) text with no link is misleading, makes you thing it's a link but it is not :( .

    I'm trying to be honest so no offence, I know that designing a theme can be hard, overall it was giving me a hard time focusing on the reading.

    I used IE7, Opera and Firefox.

    I am viewing it from Firefox and the site looks to be rendering correctly. However, as for the look and feel of the site I feel like your site needs a general color scheme, three to four colors. Also, I would reduce the number of posts on the front page.

    Im using Maxthon and some places the images near post titles are out of sync.
    The header blinded me.. Maybe easier on the eye colors.

    Also , you should turn on pretty permalinks in wordpress for better SEO :)

    Generally pretty good. But I think you should make the blue and red softer and make your title stand out more.

    Yeah! Color Scheme looks fine but the Font you used on the Header Navigation! try to decrease its size and make it bolder so it makes easy to read and get in :)
