    Hi, I need a review on my blog. My goal is to have a relaxed setting for my customers ( or anyone) to come and read, learn, listen to music or whatever. I also want to be able to eventually start creating some revenue thru my adsense account.

    Your professional critique is welcomed and greatly appreciated.

    ok.. i'm reviewing for http://www.eoscaraudio.blogspot.com/ ... the theme of the site is ok.. but i seem to distract by the colour and layout of your article.. it seem to big.. i sugest you minimize the text size and change the type to times new roman.... oh and also there are some big red text that hurt my eye... i think u should chage it... just my opinion...

    The presentation could be better, the blog would look significantly beter
    if you got a premium word press theme. The images on the page are
    nice but the text is too large you should make it smaller.

    I'm currently using display setting of 1280 x 800 and it seems that the font is just too big. I think you should reorganize back everything and get a new theme for it.

    Thanks for those comments about my blog. Everyone seems to be saying the same thing about the text, which is ironic because I have being try to change the size of the font. I went into my setting's, then fonts and color's, but it doesn't seem to be a variable located their to change the font size. I would like to make the font smaller but, I think the font size is tied to the theme (please correct me if I'm wrong). If someone knows how to decrease the font size, without changing the theme please let me know.

    Kingofsanda - I'm going to get a wordpress blog, but I'm keeping this one. I have a few people you do like this blog and read the post. This blog is also bringing me some traffic to my website, and I'm hoping it gets bumped up to a pr1 on the next update.

    Ok, I found out how to change the font size, it was in the css edits. I also changed the font to times (per theywee suggestions') how does it look now? too big, too small?

    Also could someone critique my adsense, as this is my first venture into ad's. Thanks

    you will need to change the design you need a better one. the header needs to streach across the page as well.

    i think this premium template isnt been used properly.
    You could a lot better with your design and layout.
    make it a bit more professional, i believe.

    It's not a premium template ( but thanks for the compliment :) )

    This blog is designed to be more of a fun and relaxed blog, not to serious or for business. I a lot of our myspace users view this page www.myspace.com/expressionsofstyle so business and serious is the exact opposite of what I was shooting for. I have even got emails from customers saying that they log on to blog at work, and just play the radio ( I think thats pretty cool). But I'm interested in doing a more serious type of blog on Wordpress. I saw in your signature your a Wordpress designer, so if you want you can pm your details and more about that.

    Yes, your correct the header needs to go all the way across. At first I just stretched it out, but that looked horrible. So, I'm going to go back in photoshop later and re-create the banner, with the correct dimensions ( do you have any suggestions on the header size?)

    How does the ad's look? I also noticed something: Whenever I write an article, my ads change to match the article I have written, it doesn't stay focused on car audio. Is that a good thing or bad thing?
