    I've just about finished building the main section of my blog / tutorials site, and i'd appreciate any constructive suggestions on how i can improve it :)
    http://www.gpearce.co.uk

    There are more bits to come, but that's the main bit of the site done.

    Thanks in advance :)

    merge your blog, news, and tutorials, and put them all on the front page.

    the home page, right now, is dead and useless. and it's a pain to check back and forth between the different sections, you basically have three blogs in one site, and i'd have to visit each one. just add tags, or classifications, to differentiate the three sections if you want, but publish in one ongoing stream, the topics you post about are sufficiently related to warrant being posted together. (it's not as if you have three different sections called "cooking", "tech tips" and "cats").

    You don't need a big header for that kind of blog. And content is still king, so it's the most important concern. Best of luck!

    quite nice content , but the theme looks like a default wordpress theme , you can change it
    and try limiting content on first page to few posts only

    I really like the soothing color choice… it’s very calming, but I think the header might be a bit large.

    General trend from here and the other forum is that the template is too generic, so i'm looking at a new design on the testbed, and I'll maybe launch it onto this one.
    Does anyone know any cheap places to get custom themes? I'm pretty poor now :(
