    Hey, don't sugar coat it or anything! :rolleyes:

    What is sick about it? Why am I not good at setting up WP? What is wrong with my set up? I appreciate your critizism, but could you be more specific so I could actually make some improvements. Otherwise your comments are worthless.

    And that theme is one of the free ones from the WP site. ;)

    Not criticizing at all, I think it looks very good for a first attempt. Just wondering if you made the theme by yourself is all.

    Very nice job! I like the moments that people should forget.

    Maybe find out the colors of Vancouver and use that for your template. :)

    Oh, well then thank you. Sorry. :eek:

    The colors are the same colors as the Olympic flag. Most of the Olympic logos are copyrighted, so I don't dare use any of those. Using the colors for a custom header is a good idea - but I doubt the price of a custom header is in my budget. :cool:

    Well it's a nice work - appreciated if it's on a first try !
    Theme is fine , and you need to focus your attention on the blog content before it get's index with default content !

    Ad placement in the right sidebar doesn't look nice , You should replace that AD unit with a rectangular one as it will best fit in space .

    I think you have done a perfect job - Best of Luck !

    Nice work until now.

    You see, in design there is a tight relationsheep between the importance of the elements and their size. Where you see big and small text, your eye jumps fast on the big one. The contrast is very important. Your post titles are almost the same size as the body text, and almost the same color, there is not much contrast. I scan the page and I don't really see the most important points you cover there. Get some good color combination tools and experiment with them. Maybe this will help you.

    Very neat looking blog. You can also blend the adsense to the background of your site but it's ok if not.
