    I've had this layout for a month but I wanted to know what everyone here at DP thought of it.

    Take a look: Clinton Skakun's Blog and tell me what you think!

    Thank you :)

    Does design is simple, I don't like the colors and the background but as long as you keep the texts easy to read like this, it's a fine.

    For some reason the orange just stands out and stings my eyes from even reading the content, however the overall design looks pretty good.

    I do not like the color scheme I think you should use different colors and the
    design is very basic. The blog would look much better if you got a professional
    template.

    Ok thanks for the comments.

    Changing the layout is a must but it's not going to happen until '09. It also depends on the color and brightness settings of the monitor but I noticed that this theme is really touchy on all monitors.

    I'm going for a lighter design, possibly a white simple background and elegant font. Needs to be simple yet professional.

    Basic layout but the color scheme is too dark for my preference.

    Nice template and nice header.

    I would suggest adding a few relevant pics to liven the blog up.

    Best of luck with the site!

    Kind Regards

    I think I would use fewer tags for each post. The list takes up alot of space. I like the site though, the design is unique.

    Good Luck

    Thanks that's what I was going for back when I first added to that layout. Just adding the banner made it look so much different from other blogs with the same template.

    Yes, put more images and the header image must be clearer.
