    Hi guys,

    My blog is now 2 weeks old and I would like to get some feedbacks about it! It's WordPress based with some tiny modifications made by me on it's scripts . I have also managed to fix it's theme to be cross-browser so it looks good on IE6, IE7 and FF (but if you find any weird CSS bug please let me know so I can have it fixed!). Anyway, please review my blog :)

    Thanks!

    I actually like the theme. If you change your gray background color to red (just like the head banner), I will like it more.:)

    I like you you did the color on the site and it looks all right - content seems fine.

    Great work! I like your blog, the theme you have selected... And you have an interesting and important content: I have read some of your articles - good job!

    But I'd like to mention some points, though:
    - make the tag line more informative to give your visitors the clue of what your weblog is about.

    - make the font of the tag line a bit bigger: it's too small and the letters are practically illegible, as for me.

    - And the only thing I don't like is the Google ads at the end of each post. Try to decrease their number or put some of them in the right column.

    But anyway, You did a great job!
    Keep it on! and Good luck with your blogging!

    Hey Leis,

    Great review :) Thanks for your comments! Now, back to your suggestions:

    -> Points 1 & 2: I'm not sure about what you mean here. Where's the Tag thing you're mentioning? (I'm sorry, I'm kinda new to WordPress so ... :blush: )
    -> Point 3: I agree with you. Removed the Google ads from the single post view (they'll be displayed only on the main page now ;))

    +Rep given!

    well... your tag line is placed below your site title, it is a part of your logo. It's like a slogan that should be informative and illuminative the main aspects of your project!

    You are on the right track!
    Good luck!

    Cool Leis, thanks for replying! Well I could change the About section (header) to display a small summary of my site instead ;)

    Thanks!

    No problem :)

    By the way, that's a good idea to put a small summary at the top of the screen!
    Best of luck!

    Well, Ikki,

    Nice blog with some very good content.

    My suggestion : Change the blog's title to something else. Title matter much in SE and no one will ever search for Rauru.

    Looks great, when I put my hands on the screen and cover the black background. :)

    I can't see any other links to your privacy policy except for the one in the Adsense post.
