    Hi all,

    Recently I launched a blog (http://www.mikaelrieck.com) and now I need your advice. What do you think I have done well and what needs improvement?
    I’m talking:

    - Design and colors?
    - Ads placements?
    - Content?
    - Loading speed?
    - Everything else...

    Please be honest but in a constructive why. I hope to improve so I will need your suggestions and not just criticism. Thanks a bunch.

    This is ok, not very nice and no so bad. Try to present ads in more professional way.

    Thank you for your comment rightit.

    Could you please explain what you mean by professional? Maybe with examples or something like that?

    When I look with 1024 screen it looks ok, the wider the screen the less appealing. Text lines get very long and hard to read.
    You could fix the width of the middle column.

    Very good point momo22. I haven't tested with resolutions higher that 1024. Maybe I should go with a fixed width instead...

    Does anyone know how/where to ad/change that in a WP theme?

    - Design and colors
    try to adjust your sidebar to less transparent

    Ads placements
    it seems to be ok for me

    Content
    good content, nice info and detailed

    Loading speed?
    It took me more than 15seconds to all (maybe my internet connection here)

    Hi all,

    I found that you were all right in the things you said and therefore I found a theme with a fixed width.

    I think it's a whole lot better!!
