My Tech blog (www.detechter.com) has a very simple design. I actually want to try the mashable like design. Please help me out.
I don't have any clue of what your site is about. If I had clicked on it, I would click right back out because when I get there I'm lost. A good logo with a clear meaning might help.
I think it looks pretty good. The top bar/sidebar looks a little cluttered, in my opinion, when full screen. I wonder if it'd look nice with a little more spacing in between stuff. But yeah overall looks pretty solid to me.
