    I have put up a new Blog , there is no content on it yet, just about 3-4 posts. I am looking to get some feedback on the design. Some tips to improve it would be great.

    URL : http://www.saijogeorge.com/

    thanks

    It is awesome - I like it alot...

    Just one thing, the featured articles that are looping at the top... if you can avoid the flipping when the mouse is over that spot it would be great, because I am trying to read there with my mouse over it, but it suddenly flip to the next article, and then goes back. I think it will be useful to put some buttons to go back if the user wants and stop there.

    I think you can find a similar action in Yahoo.com

    Wow, thats a great site

    but the to many moving things, draw my attention away from the content

    and the digg button on top of images is a problem, try putting digg butons on the bottom of the article so it looks a bit better

    Really nice design! I'm impressed :)

    Adsense adlink integration is top notch.

    @ iTeachWeb.com : thats a great tip will have to look in to it. By the way you can click on the number below the featured post section to stop the scrolling and go to the article.

    @ I-G4L : Is it possible for you to get a screeshot of the digg button on top, coz I have integrated it to show the button towards the end of the post

    @Matt B : thanks mate :)

    Looks very nice.

    Did you create the design yourself?

    The blog looks nice and clean and easy to navigate, the theme, the color scheme,
    and the page layout is excellent.

    Kinda noobish, I understand the whole clean look thing, but really the whole website is cluttered,

    Make the layout more stereotypical that way everybody knows exactly where everything is and where its supposed to be. I was seriously visiting that website through google, I would close that window faster than you can say saijogeorge, and on that note, get someone to design you a logo or atleast try harder.

    I think you are an outstanding blog designer. I especially liked the way you got the articles to shift positions. I haven't figured out how to that yet, so please fill me in!
