    First of all, thanks for your time. I've had this blog for a little bit now and I'm trying to make it as user friendly as I can. If you could please review my inspirational blog that would be excellent!

    I'm really looking for things I should change, remove, add, or somehow improve. Also, I want to know how you think the readability is, because it is a primarily reading blog.

    Any feedback is appreciated and I'd be glad to review yours as well if you want me to.

    -Header is ok.
    -Content is readable.
    -It is good that you are using some graphics otherwise plain text would be boring for some people. Maybe try some other colors instead of only green.
    -Social bookmarking buttons are a good choice.
    -Meta information and seo seems complete.

    I mean you may try other variations of green or some other colors in your posts. You may try using a different color (darkblue, blue, darkorange in some places maybe) for the titles or for some words like the names of the people of quotes. You may highlight or use a different font (or color) for some important words instead of just using "bold". Your blog is already looking ok but using some different stuff may help you to make your articles easier to read or may help you to take the attention of visitors. Also it may help you to emphasize some words as this is a motivational blog. For example;

    You can emphasize some words that are important like that. This is just an example. Check out this site to find hex codes of some alternative colors that you can use on your posts depending on your liking. I think this way you can increase the readability and can take the attention of your visitors faster. But as I told before your blog already looks ok, this is just a suggestion.

    Good luck with it. :)

    The content is ok.
    I recommend you change template that can optimized your adsense earning.
    also build amazon affiliate that contain self help audio and book.
    hope it helps.

    Please update the template - it is one the basic templates offered by Blogger
    There are tons of free blogspot templates available on the web
    Content is good - keep updating at a regular pace (googlebot especially likes the site) that get updated frequently and regularly.
    Post only one article on a specific day - make it a habit - googlebot will recognize you and you will get crawled frequently

    Thanks for the feedback...

    ronin: do you dislike the layout or what is your reason for saying to change it? I personally think it looks pretty nice.
