    The purple blueish color it too bright it bothers my eyes, Also the logo text font doesn't match the whole site maybe use a different font that matches. Use some lighter colors to match the contrast of the site. When i click forgot password button in i see a small box on top of the search text box.

    thanks domain views-

    I'm open to color schemes if you have a suggestion - easily changed via CSS. I went with midnight blue and then simply lighter versions of that base color. Read somewhere that dark blue is supposed to impart a 'professional' feel.

    I'll be the first to admit I am a developer, not a designer.

    thanks for forgot password catch - I fixed it!

    I think your site is an excellent idea.
    It could use a bit of help with the design to make it look a bit more modern/ clean but the framework is excellent.
    I also think that in the 'tags' area, you should remove the word 'blog' since aren't they all blogs?
    Also, how do you make any money from this? Or is it just an awesome service that you offer?

    I love the idea of your site and wish you the best of luck.

    Hi eruct

    Thanks for the compliments!

    I know it's cluttered - I'm trying to show a lot of info for each blog and the initial impression is probably confusion. I'll keep tinkering with it.

    The tags shown are the tags entered by the bloggers themselves when they add their blogs. I suppose I could scrub it. Now that you mention it, it does seem sort of silly to tag your blog with 'blog'

    As for 'awesome service' I hope it becomes that, and yes it is free and will remain free.

    Bloggertizer is a blogger/advertising matching service like PayPerPost, Smorty or Blogsvertise, but without any fee. Free to register, free to list your blog, and totally up to the blogger and advertiser to work out deals between themselves.

    To quote Paul Graham "Don't build a web site to make money, build a web site to get traffic. Once you get enough traffic, you'll figure out a way to make money.

    In a perfect future, a year from now, I'm doing 10K visitors a day and have a PR6, which means I could sell links or other advertising for revenue.

    I hope you'll tell a friend or two about the site or even write a post about or link to it. The more blogs that get added the more valuable a resource Bloggertizer can become, the more advertisers will use it and the more opportunity there will be for bloggers to earn extra money.

    Thanks!
