    Thanks.

    Tastes are a very personal thing. This specific design and the colors in it... well... they suit mine. The logo part is on my todolist, but will have to wait until October when I'll have some cash to hire a graphic designer.

    Updates since my last post:

    - added a favicon
    - added a few ads to fill at least some of that horrendous white space
    - changed the displayed name from admin to my name (will only be visible in future comments and posts though)
    - added a comment plugin that makes conversations appear as nested and can also notify a poster via e-mail when someone responds to the comment.

    Your comments have been very helpful.

    Thank you and keep'em coming :D

    Regards, George

    Thanks.

    Small update:

    I have added a small graphic to each post, showing the month and the date on which the post was made.

    How do you guys think that it looks?

    Regards, George

    Considering it's a template I saw a few days ago, then I can say nice choice in template. Now you have to go to the next step and actually customize it which takes some skill unlike copy and paste.

    Just a small question: Why do you think that I have put this thread here? I've been customizing this template since I began receiving feedback.

    As for the "skills" you so smugly imply that I lack, the purpose of a blogging platform is to allow the posting of content and also allow the integration of monetization venues (aka advertising). The content comes first and if you would look in my signature, you would realize that this is what interests me primarily.

    If you're going to act like a troll, at least learn the "skills" to do it properly and not just copy/paste the same cliche "holier than thou", you all bloggers suck, type of comment.

    Regards, George

    I like the layout! It's visually appealing, only thing i can say is maybe get a professional logo designed :)

    Thanks. I finally got a hold of a web designer and there should be some major changes in the header in the next few days.
