    Firstly adsense - your allowed (if i remember rightly) a maximum of 2 ad units per page, you have 4. If google find out then they are highly likely to ban your account and hence you'll loss any revenue you might have earnt using adsense - best to be safe than sorry! On a positive note you have intigrated the adsense colour wise which makes everything a lot more fluent - good job! :D

    From a personal point of view i'd prefer to see a proper header at the top of the page as apposed to just some simple text. The skin isnt unique and hence doesn't really stand out from the crowd so you really need to do something to make it really, really unique from a design point of view - failure to do something to make your site stand out will make people think that your site is just another normal boring blog with a skin that loads of other people use!

    Best of luck :)

    Link units are not included in that rule of 3 - it is 3 content ads, plus one link unit. Regarding the header, I will see if I can knock up a nice pic - thanks for the suggestion :)
