    hey ,

    I started my new blog about games some days ago and would like to know what you guys think about it ? For now i think it goes well. One of my articles is actually having 40 visitors per day from stumbleupon for the last 3 days, and a total of 60. good or not ? ;P

    short version:
    Could anyone please review my blog ?

    Thanks,
    Jean

    url: www.fnuppi.com <- catchy name ;P

    I don't want a logo since that makes my visitors have to scroll down and 90% of the people that see a new website don't scroll down on new websites they visit.

    yes i agree in the crowded part,

    Also i have a problem with my sidebar. When i want to count how many post i have in my categories then the category menu uses 2 lines, but when i don't uses it as you can see on my blog now it only uses 1 line. I think it is a template problem.

    i tried
    
    <h2>Categories</h2>
    <ul class="arrow">
    <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1show_count=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
    </ul>
    Code (markup):
    it is something to do with the class="arrow"> part but when i remove it does make the category 1 line but one oft he category names ends up in the middle of the template. Anyone knows something i can do here ?

    The blue colour in the site is very bright and spoils readability. The words in black colour font are invisible, so the site requires different set of colour combination.

    Hey all thanks for comments.

    Yes i agree that the black background was not good. I changed the theme now and i really like how the blog looks like now. More organized and with a white background. It does not look like a game related blog but i beleive that the content for a blog is more important then the design so i will stick this this theme. I hope the blog will earn me some money and if it does i will buy a good theme for it.

    And i love writing about games so at least i found a niche i like writing in. I tried many of them now and all those blogs sucks hehe.

    Take a look at the blog now and tell me what you think.URL is in the first post.

    Your site is a bit messy. Try to make it clean. use a bit less ads.

    I think a template change will make it better

    I do respect you guys opinion but i don't agree, i like how the blog looks like right now and after i changed from the last theme i had im seeing visitors staying on my site much longer.

    If no one had known about http://www.problogger.net/ you would have said that this blog is kinda messy too , still he got 45000 subscribers ;P And his blog is kinda messy. Still the best blog on the web though imo.

    I agree with the 2 vs. 3 columns...but if you like the way it is then that's the way you should keep it! I think the content is well thought out - and that's important so keep it up!
