    Hello,

    I just finished a new theme for my blog. I would like to know some opinions about the design, good or bad things (it doesn't matter)

    The blog is www.alexpanait.com

    Thanks in advance

    Personally i think u did a good job.
    I specially like how the body splits in 3 columns,
    and good idea putting the video there.
    Like it.

    few personal notes:

    I'd keep the body background on the whole website just as it is on the first 15px, without going into black, staying as silver/whatever ;-)
    Nice idea with the featured article on the front page, is this a wordpress plugin or your idea?

    Single post page, very decent, I really love your blog.

    EDIT: I tried to post a comment here: http://www.alexpanait.com/seocom-sold-for-5-million/

    It doesn't let me do it, after I fill in the fields, I get an information: Error: Please press the back button and fill the required field for spam protection.

    But I can't see the field for a captcha or anything, I'm using Flock 1.2.7

    Thanks for the review, I will give it a shot with the silver background. The featured post was my idea and code it, there is no plugin.

    About the comment, I forgot to put the field for spam. It's ok now :)

    I think you did a great job with the design, very professional. Maybe you could include a thumbnail image with each post.

    I personally love it. I've seen soooo many wp themes and this is a very quality one. I sure do see a trend with black and white or mostly black/dark themes lately. I prefer something neutral that I can edit and make "mine" easily with a few quick changes. But that's the niche blogger addict in me talking!

    Great job! I'd use/buy your design ;)

    I was on the fence about if I liked it or not. For me personally, it's not a site that I would normally go on. But considering the content of the blog, the overall 'look' of the site works very well. I get a very business/tech feel from it. If that's what you're aiming for good job!

    I like it, but I kind of miss a "main headline" for the entire site. The only big headline is alexpanait.com, which says nothing about the subject. I have to glance around a lot to figure out what the subject of the site is.
