Here you go: http://poemnews.com Any comments, critique about design, niche, help, rants, comments, inputs etc welcome! Please give it a look and let me know! A couple of questions: 1) How do I replace the generic search box with adsense search ? 2) What all do I need to do to bring in traffic and is my ad placement alright? 3) Should I think about using CB on this later? 4) If I take some news from CNN, should I send a ping/trackback? What exactly are those??? 5) How do I make my first post static?

I dunno, I sorta like the background graphic and I think the idea is excellent, just cute as the dickens, as we used to say. I'd hang in there and keep at it. You'll have a following someday!
I love the concept...but the poetry is disappointing. If you are going to have such a niche blog, you really need to make the poetry fantastic- that's why people are going, not to enjoy your background or layout.
Thanks! This is certainly good advise! Thanks for the inputs! Thanks for the appreciation. Your words certainly go a long way! Some mixed responses about background. Thanks for your input though... Shall I put up a poll on this?
I read your comment 4 hours ago and have entered into a writer's block! Just cannot start a new post. Thanks for your comments. I have been spending almost no time on content up till now... Just trying to set it up (Design, coding, stuff) in whatever time I can scrape through. I'm sure the quality would go up eventually as things come back to normal and I dedicate some time to this blog that isn't stolen from other chores / assignments. Meanwhile... Writer's Block!!!
