    I've been working over the last week to re-do my theme because there were just parts that were scary :). I'm looking for comments on the design and anything I can improve or add to make it better. Thanks in advance for your insight.

    Seems a little plain to me. I got 6 CSS errors and 39 html errors. your site looked good on IE6 & 7, F fox, Opera and K-Melion.


    All in all its just another brick in the wall.

    Cheers

    Thanks!

    Got the errors all fixed up. Haven't had time to do validation across the site yet. Its the post that get me. But overall theme is okay.

    It is a little plain atm. Need to get a logo maybe. And the side navigation needs a little something.

    I actually think its not bad. Work out the kinks though. I like the simplicity of it. If you want to see a bad design, go to myspace.com (simple horrid design that shows creativity when it comes to design is not always important).

    I think it looks fresh and clean. Simplicity is not a bad thing for everyone. Some blog users are looking for simple and fresh designs like this. Also I liked the colors of comments' backgrounds. Just one thing, Your footer's color is not matching with rest of your design. Try to use same color (Blue) of your header/menu on your footer. Good luck

    Thanks guys for the comments. I gave you guys +rep.

    The top of the site, like very top has a line that is the same color as the footer section. But it is hard to see. Still not sure whats going on down there honestly. I really like the sites that have latest comments or post down there. I'm not sure yet what to do with it.

    As for the template, I bought a unique one there, but it was not coded that great and some sections were not coded at all so I had to do them.
