    Pretty Nice. But I'm not sure about the tag cloud. I think tag clouds are already outdated. I'm not sure.

    Agree you can do without the tag cloud and the recent comments. Move the Google Analytics to the head and include better and clickable page and/or post titles and descriptions. Other than that it looks good! Which Google+ plugin are you using? I almost forgot don't forget to include the www. redirect!

    It's nice. But I think logo is a bit big.

    I think Google+ baton placement is not correct . . Select a small Google+ baton and set it with other social bookmark plugin at the end of every post .

    Hi,

    Many thanks to all of you for your suggestions and time! :)

    @loremar and reylocal , I know tag cloud seems to be outdated, but that was for the people to know what contents I post on the blog.. but I will look for an alternative :)

    @ceekeigh : I know, but that logo is a temporary one .. I am designing a new one myself .. but that would take time ;)

    @borhanice : Many thanks, I will give it a try :)

    I like all the social icons, the header is a bit dark and gloomy unless that's what you're going for. Ya I would probably get rid of the tag cloud but it doesn't hurt. Looks clean and good overall.

    Hi Black Heaven !



    I think the header image is a big mistake, try to design an image with a better font and solid background, that texture make it look very old.
    Everything else is fine.


    Good luck.

    i saw your site... it is really good. But you have to change onething..

    Under title "Expert pandas" you should give about site description in the tag line..

    for example" get latest tips for IIS installation"

    So far I think ti's good, perhaps try to write a little more often and maybe add more content.

    I have followed you on G+ Twitter and liked you on Facebook

    A better logo, list archives (not in the drop down) and a better comment area. Integrate facebook comments may be.

    Many thanks for the suggestions all of you and thanks for your time, much appreciated! :)

    @ibmethatswhoib007 and @nicelife : Changed by header image. Hope that looks good now ! :p

    @silverbbi : yes, I do have a tag line, but I wish to release that when my website gets ready. Well, my website design would take time as there are few heavy concepts behind them (like social networking) and I have no developers with me :(

    @ bbrian017 : thanks for the follow, I and my website account have followed you back ;)

    @b4db0y @Shiraj @reylocal : thanks for your valuable comments.

    I think it looks really clean, but like someone else said you need a tag line to tell people what the blog is about. I think a photo of yourself in the header wouldn't hurt either.

    Maybe put a floating share widget in the sidebar as well like the Digg Digg plugin.

    it's nice blog but you have to set proper footer and link and followers button on top like eye catching position.
