    Hello there,

    I'm looking for some quick opinions on what you guys think of my site, http://www.stevejobs.info/. I just added some newly written articles on there, and I'm currently looking around for any new videos or interviews if anyone can help me out with that. Anyway, I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of the design (for a content based site), line height of the text for reading, and everything else. I'm just looking for any and all improvements I could make to the site.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    The site is to simple and too white. Add some black or dark coloured elements to separate distinct portions of the site. The idea of the site is nice , good luck with it.

    You have PR2 ranking on your sub-pages which is great for a trouble-free site that you have cleverly come up with :) - if I were you I would just change the ads' colours to Google classic colours; Blue, Black and Green and your ads would get a lot more attention.

    Good looking site. Nice concept.

    I don't think the AdSense links blend well with the content links. Either they should all be blue, or all black.

    Yeah, I've been looking for ways to add some color, because I would want to do more than change link colors, but yes, I'll change the color of the link units. Good thing I implemented a templating system to make it easy. :)

    I like simple. A bit of color would be great. Wasting too much space with adsense on both sides and it is a bit intrusive. I would put adsense on only one side

    Good idea actually, I'll keep the left and get rid of the right.. allows more room for other ads.

    Update:
    I'm currently working on resizing the quote box, and I will be adding some other things such as pictures of Steve Jobs and related stuff. I'm also going to be experimenting with some different colors and edits to the overall theme.

    It may be a good idea to place both the AdSense ads and the menu links in the left column of your site, and to place AdSense links instead of the menu links in the horizontal area between the header and the main content.

    The header definitely needs a gradient just like the link bar, it looks too flat at the moment.
