    Its template your using is too basic and about 1000 people likely use it on their blog on blog spot. If your blog gets attention then move to a proper domain name.

    The best thing to do if the site was new, get a free host account or something and use wordpress.

    Your then in FULL CONTROL!

    Agree with the others that it is better to have your own domain and then whether you use blogger or wordpress, get a nicer theme that is non generic.

    But I guess the main question is this:

    I know you hope to make money with your blog and it is a personal blog about everything in your life.

    It is a great desire but unless you have extremely witty or edgy content, you will find it hard to sustain your readership.

    Why not fix on a theme or subthemes for your blog? So at least a reader that stumbles to your blog will have an idea what to expect and if it gels with him/her, they will return.

    Also, one more thing. It is much easier on the eye if you format your postings in more paragraphs but each paragraph to consists of 2 or 3 sentences max. This makes it easier for reading.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Gordon

    You can use wordpress instead of blogspot if you really want to make money through your blogs, even i am using it,its easy to maintain if you are new here and you will get more choices for templates.

    As mentioned, unless your personal blog offers something unique or some witty content you won't be making money out of it.

    Also, I understand your from Croatia but you've really got to work on your English. I'm assuming (Correct me if I'm wrong) that you speak Croatian, so maybe try a Croatian blog?

    Design wise, it needs a lot of work.

    If this is a personal blog, why make your template more personal? Select or design a layout that reflects your personality! It'll also help the viewers connect to you and your blog.

    content seems interesting but as you mentioned you want to make money of the site. Well they way I see it. It would be a very long term idea. However, be more keyword speicific and optimize your site and content accordingly.

    If you can manage then get a proper site and hosting its not all that expensive but it will give you an identity. If you can update quality content then getting a site won't be a bad investment.

    Hope this helps.
