    My first attempt at a blog using Blogger.

    I created the blog because I wanted to learn more about blogger so I can write blog posts on Blogged Out to help my readers.

    I have gone for the classic layout, and used a theme coded from Wordpress.

    What do you think?

    I like the colors.. Everything is nice, clean and simple. For your site's name: Travel Photo Blog I would add a bold on the font so it stands out just a bit more.

    + nice content..page is not overloaded...posts are of reasonable length...
    - colors are somewhat gloomy.

    great and simple. just one question: Why you don't set a logo, top left, to personalise the website more?

    Fantastic, I would suggest maybe a photo or something in the top bit to make it more suitable to your topic of photos. Like, it's a photoblog, but the header is all text. Just a suggestion, though it looks great as is.

    A nice, clean blog. Why dont you add a bit of description apart from name of the place under each picture. That would engage the readers.

    Really good for your first blog, loading time very good and lay out clean and easy on the eye.

    Im not sure on the full terms of blogger but you could always put in some google adds. Earn some money out of click throughs. just an idea i thought id put out there.

    Gets my thumbs up.

    nice design but you can use a photo gallery instead of a blog.if you use a blog, then write some words about the pictures.nice site.

    I'd prefer a different background color to gray...maybe the green you use on top

    Hello,

    Great photos overall.

    But the color are not that clear.

    You should put a title with photos on top.

    I like it. Looks great. Nice photos. but the "If you would like to contact me then click here." is not clickable.

    looks good but if i was you i would use wordpress on your own hosting... and domain. That would cost you probably $10 a year for one blog.. including hosting and domain.
