    Very nice design. I usually hit the back button quickly if the site has audio. At least its just a short snippet of music.

    On a few posts you have this: "What your are going to make is this:" change it to "What you're going to make is this:"

    Good Luck

    Nice looking blog, but I think you need to get rid of the music. Also, you should try to move away from blogspot. Having your own domain is always better than free hosting (but usually not free :p). I like the general design of the blog though. Also, you're building some very nice content. Good start! :)

    The blog is well designed, it looks very unique, the color scheme, the layout, and
    the ad placement is excellent.

    I know this. I'm just starting this blog. no promotion yet, I'll start that after it reaches 15-20 posts, so that anyone who visits does a bookmark :) hopefully.

    Like your header design...but it does not tell me who you are or your company. Looks like Adobe product images. In the long run, you will want your own branding.

    Anyway, if you look at the header on the far right, you will see that it doesn't match the rest of the header. Also, the header is not consistent with the body. It is a bit wider. I'm a stickler for those little things. Overall design is good. Good luck with your blog!

    Man.....what a blog :D...really nice....the content is great, and thats wht ppl are looking for @ the moment...i do recommend that you remove the double ads...which are below the header...and for a site like this...it should be on its own domain...

    Wordpress is really good with providing layouts and themes....maybe u should consider moving to a self hosted wordpress....that will really kick it into the search engine rankings....overall...its cool site....Bookmarked it...:D

    thanks for bookmarking. try subcribing on this site.

    I didn't find music on front page which is great. You shouldn't use it unless you're 50 Cent or something. ;)

    Design looks nice for a free hosted blog. I would also place a short ad after the post and add some contrast. Banner ads usually don't make much money but if they do keep them. If they don't take them out.

    Really cool blog, i almost think its a wordpress blog. I like the color too but i think you should remove the categories box on the left side bar because you already have it on the top of your site

    About the ad replacement, you can try to put it inside of your blog post
