    Hi there,

    I've started a new blog and I want to read some reviews by you guys.

    I think I've made a good job. It's a WP blog and I've installed 20-30 plugins and

    I don't think I'll install anymore.


    Here the link: www.HiReaders.com


    Waiting for your reviews,
    - ArLinD

    The blog looks good, you should consider putting more ads in the lower right side of the page
    because there is quite a bit of negative space there.

    Very busy rhs, consider spreading all those boxes out - or grouping similar options under headers eg:

    Feeds
    - Add to Technorati
    - Grab my feed

    And I wouldn't show the Akismet counter.

    Well, I don't like it bacause it seems too busy/bloated. I would choose better font, possibly bigger. Smileys are are making big gaps in your text. It might be because the images are not cut properly or something else. Personally, I wouldn't use smileys at all.

    I have read few of your posts and you should work on improving your english skills - there are many grammatical errors.

    Also, 30 plugins is insane. You don't need that many. 10 plugins is absolute maximum you could ever need. More plugins will just slow down the blog and cause you more troubles.

    Other than that it's not bad.

    Wow i liked this site. The theme is nice. Uve put up great vast plugins but it would look more professional if the smileys are not used anywhere in the site. Even as far as i have noticed there are few grammatical errors so need to concentrate more on vocabulary and overall it looks nice but, many errors can be found out.

    I like the layout mate. I'd be a bit concerned about the the sidebar AdSense block's placement. And if you'd consider, it's would be good to offer excerpts instead of full posts in the home page.

    I'm summarizing above comments: Place your 720x90 google ads in other significant spot but will not disrupt visitors interest towards your blog.

    Btw, cool theme!
