    Please review my new blog at http://blog.advoor.net/

    I've just started it today, and already got a few hits, but I need reviews. Anything I can do to improve it? What do you think of it so far?

    What is going to be the overall theme of your blog? You need to tie it all together with each post. I'd change the header to include a tagline about the blog topic so people know what they're going to be reading.

    Nice blog, some things i might improve:

    Don't really like the gradient in the header. I like the flat dark blue of the footer much better. Maybe try using this for the header as well.

    Maybe a tagline for the header, or change the 'our world' to something like 'a strange world'?

    The date in your copyright/footer reads 2006

    No search button on your search bar.

    Overall, the layout is pretty good. About the header part, I don't quite rite the green top (I suppose it is bundled into your theme?).

    I'm using Mozilla firefox to view your site, I found out that that is nothing beside the search bar (something like a "go") to tell readers that it's a searchbar.

    Things I might improve :

    - I will remove the top grenn part, make the blue banner standalone and with shadow effect.
    - Rounded the header and footer corner.
    - Add some transparent graphics to the background of the top banner.
