    The design is clean and simple. I like the header, looks really good, but I would remove the dragon, from the bottom as well.

    one of the best blogs i have ever seen for all the reasons like content design and look. The theme is excellent. your blog has google ads but it looks less commercial than many other blogs.

    good luck

    The design is pretty nice! A few suggestions:
    - love the whole layout a bit higher
    - for your last box at the bottom of the page, I would add a very light pale blue background behind it

    Looks great - really clean and classy looking. Can the section that's titled "Home" come up a bit?

    I love the design of the site. Very impressed.

    Content was a little difficult to get into

    I would recommend a tag based system for your content.
    example site: http://support.technorati.com/

    hope this helps

    + good content, design, colors etc
    - top panel takes nearly half of the page. Is it really necessary to spend so much space for it?
    - Unnecessary boldening of text. looks immature and annoying...

    Thanks...sorry about the boldening, it was for SEO, but I think it's useless... :D

    Great looking, nice content and nice concept above all.
    Only suggestion: put in some red (for love!)
