    Yeah, I designed the banner myself, but didn't draw the image on the left hand side :)

    I'm slowly but surely getting other sites interested (only launched today!)

    Cheers for the comments.

    I think the image in the title is so sad, change it with some cheerful image. Put lot of information as well.

    Your articles are too long to quickly scan on the main page. Why not use a 'more' link to make it so you can show lots of content and if people like what they are reading then they can click to read more. :)

    thanks for all the reviews so far!

    I have had great feedback on the header!

    As for the "Read more" links... I personally hate them! I think it was problogger that once did a survey on whether people liked them or not and it turned out to be 50/50 so that isn't going to change :)

    Um, the dude in the header freaks me out a bit.

    I like the site snapshots, although I don't know that I like the bullet point style of posts. Perhaps if you mixed it up a bit?

    I can see what you mean about the bullet type of posts, although I can't think of a better way to format the Q&A. Maybe adding a few more images within the blog posts...

    Your blogs aren't bad, but needs some serious content to grab your target audience attention! A professional writer is what you need. I do writing myself, so if you happened to be interested, I'll write up some targetted and interesting articles, exclusively for your blog(s), 100% original and authentic guaranteed to pass copyscape! My fair rate is at $0.07 p/word...so do drop me a PM if interested. Best Regards..

    sweet...it's a nice site. However, you might want a different picture where someone is actually enjoying a vacation.

    though this one works great too.

    I spent ages looking for a great image to use with no luck. I think anybody who visits the site will remember this image :)
