    I have a blog about my weight loss but think it is kind of boring. I do plan to have a header made but other than that any suggestions? Also I have a column down the right side but am wondering if I should either do the column on the left or even a column on each side. Any suggestions on how to improve my blog would be great! www.blogawaythepounds.com
    Thanks!

    It's a simple design - not bad at all

    Your adsense placement is bad, it cuts off the page.

    In the sidebar your Image Ads are too jumbled, try using a diff. color for the header.

    Very boring design. Looks like box template.

    Needs a header. Or else try white text. The red on blue does not look great.

    Footer appears to be missing.

    Thanks everyone. I am actually planning to add a new header. As far as the adsense being cut off the page or the ads looking jumbled I don't understand. It appears okay in my browser. Does anyone else notice this besides Ratman?
    I really am new to wordpress and have alot to learn and appreciate the help :).

    It's to basic. That is a modified version of the starting template, correct? I would suggest finding a more intuitive template, and THEN modifying that and find a header.

    Ok, You have a unique domain name. A couple keywords in it. Good start.
    As far as the blog design goes it's average. Too many ads to start. Make it so that a few posts can show up on the front page. It will make your site look a bit more updated. It looks empty with only the one post on it.
    The blue and red contrast hurts my eyes. Do a Google Search for colour contrasts etc. There should be some tools you can use there. The blue on the google ads does not blend. I would suggest adding your blog to some social networking sites once you have fine tuned it a bit. I am not expert but that is my two cents. Good luck.
