    Good day.
    I am new in coding and web design but I like it and for last week I code my first theme that I will give for free to my blog readers, but before I will publish it, I will need to know what peoples say about it: maybe it is terrible or maybe I need to fix or change something.
    So, if someone have time, please review my theme: Quacker: http://quacker.designrex.com/

    Thanks you.

    It actually looks pretty good.
    However there are some things I would like you to think about:
    1. It's pretty dull, it does not stand out and it's easily forgotten by users. Add some color.
    2. The recent posts/tags is not that good. Using while links on a light-grey background will make it hard for your visitors.
    (especially for those with bad eyes.)
    3. Maybe have a hoover effect on the facebook, twitter and email buttons. So that they turn blue when mousing over them or something?

    Good luck in the future!

    I think the side bar is too wide. So it is hard to distinguish from primary and secondary content. I typically like to see 2/3 of the page for core content, or if there are two sidebars, 1/2.

    Also some of the text on the side bar, is white with a shadow, making it almost impossible to read.
