    I'd like your opinions on my blog; the design or anything else that could be improved.
    Thanks!

    The header is nice but the color scheme could be better in the rest of
    the blog. You should consider changing the color of the font on the page
    to white to make it more legible or change the background color of the
    template. The green box at the bottom of the page does not fit in well
    with the color scheme of the blog, you should use a different color.

    Just so you know, in IE6 the blog opens and then an error message comes up saying "IE cannot open the Internet site www....." and goes to a white "Cannot find server" error screen.

    But from what I could see (before IE6 closes it!), your blog looks like it has potential (I don't know much about your subject matter but your content looks useful) but I really would follow kingofsanda's advice - the colour scheme makes it very difficult to read.

    I like the way you construct the page and how you weave your creativity on just one single pic. Well done.

    I reviewed the site in your sig link .
    The major background color is black .
    It is a color that is not easy to manipulate it well .
    However you make it . It is cool color, cool site .

    My suggestions is that it would be great if you go for a lighter theme with more whitespace.

    Best of luck.

    Do you find the text a difficult color to read? If so, do you have any suggestions?

    Good site, liked the photoshop tutorial.. might like to consider comments on black background being too dark, but it can work for viewing pictures & art. Good luck.

    Black background could be reviewed to see if a plain white fits better.

    When I saw "blogspot" I thought it's something lame, but the design is very professional and good. However, it's just too dark. You should consider different colors, because it's not easy to even read. Also, less widgets would be good.

    Hi Avalynmarie,

    The main text is very slightly more readable now but I would say it should be much more lighter, maybe even white (that's if you can't make the background white and the main text black). Apart from being more legible it would give more predominence to what you actually want to say rather than to the titles and links, which because of their comparative clarity are taking too much importance away from the main text in my opinion.

    I think Gini's Magic Orders and Questions block should be placed somewhere in the top. At least you can place a link to this block in the top area of your blog.
    I believe your site will look more welcoming if all your adds will be placed in the right column

    Content is king, and you have excellent content. The logo is great, and the color choices were done wisely. Good job!
