    How does it look? What do you think?

    www.helpingdepression.com

    It was originally an HTML site, but I switched over to Wordpress blog since I think it would probably rank better.

    Very good domain name. The design does look a little grey and dull though. Dare I say a little depressing looking. It needs a focal point in the design. Something uplifting. Good luck with it.

    hmm, you know I think you are correct about the dullness. I'll look for a better template lol. Maybe blue is a little better looking.

    It's kind of depressing actually. ;)

    Sorry, that was bad. Looks good. Did you use a template or create your own design?

    Yeah I just downloaded a template. It used to be alot uglier LOL when I did a quick HTML site.

    I got a new template that looks alot happier. I just need to tweak it a bit, but I am leaving tonight for my long drive back to Cali, so I'm not going to bother doing it today.

    Oh and Troyan, its not really for adsense. Just an informational site, but I figure why not monotize it with adsense and at least pay for the hosting.

    When first launched the site and submitted a couple articles it managed about $23 a month. I am being discreet with the adsense ads since I don't want it to look spammy.

    Somw warm colors would be nice. Not necessarily garish, but warm. Actually any color would be better than grey on grey.

    Well I used a less drab template now. More of a blueish color. Looks happier IMO. :)

    That colour is a lot better, the cloud effect at the top is soothing.

    I like the shades of blue, the skylike athmosphere on top. But I would extend it further and have something similar on the right and the left hand side. If you want to go with the sky theme, how about adding something sun-like as well? :)
