    There's not much to review - it's a standard Blogger template with Adsense. Like above, I'd try getting a nicer logo and changing the template to add a bit more colour and style. Maybe try the Revolution themes and switch to Wordpress. One thing that I would definitely change right now is the archives in the left column. Maybe switch them to monthly instead of daily - they'll get pretty big quickly set at daily! Best of luck :)

    Needs a different header...seeing that it's a bloggger blog,adding a new header is very easy. You can goto the many sites that offer free header graphics(google it),save the one you want then goto your layout blogger template and click on the header layout -where the blog title and description are- and simply upload the graphics you saved. Also you might want to have something that seperates the three columns -which I do like btw(such as a line,color filled area for the widgets in those columns,etc.). This will help balance out all the white space.

    Thanking you all for your valuable suggestions. I highly appreciate this.
    You guys have helped me identify some very important things, which otherwise could have gone unnoticed.
    This means a lot to me.

    So I have made a do-list for me from the above suggestions:
    - Choose a better theme and a professional looking template
    - Can have a good logo and a different header
    - Add a bit more colour and style
    - Change the layout, its so whiteyyy
    - Header banner is so cheap
    - Make it look like pro
    - Have something that separates the three columns

    I will try to do all this by this month end. Right now the problem is money. I think for doing all that listed above, will cost me not less than $150. I have some $2 from adSense since I started the blog. I need to generate some hard cash as soon as possible. :)
    Anyways, thanks for all your help.
