    First impressions is that all that black and white is a bit stark, also I found the main centre column a little too wide to read comfortably.

    I like it a lot, the gradient adds just enough as to not be too plain but I definitely suggest adding a professional logo.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the comment, the width of the centre column really depend on our resolution since it is a fluid design. Of course it has that disadvantage on large resolutions (above 1280*1024) it will look too wide.

    Thanks, I will think about it.

    Thank you, :)

    I'm liking it. Very clean, professional look. :D

    However, I do think it would add to the look of the blog if you had a proper logo and header. Something more than just text. :)

    I like it, however:

    1) As you said, it becomes really wide on large resolutions.

    2) Please, stick to the conventional color for the feeds' icon - orange. That's what people expect, that's what you should use.

    3) The post meta data needs more work. The background color doesn't work well since it's so close to the links' color.

    Hope this helps. :)

    I think it looks a bit to plain/simple. Needs more color.

    I have disagree with some of these people, I like the look of your site.

    It's plain but it's got something to it :) Maybe you need a logo.
