Ok, PoP-Up. I just hate that, you get a rating 5/10 because Pop-Ups are just so annoying. I think your site does not deserve to have Pop-up. Your site is informative, and not Business orientated. The other 5 is for your good finding in a nice layout. However, from the thumbnails, I can tell that you did not put much effort in resizing your photos correctly.
Hi Turkey giant, Following are my observations - 1) Your theme is beautiful. 2) You have highlighted twitter/RSS links in sidebar. Thats good. 3) I would love if you just shorten the sidebar to content page lenght. 4) Footer is nice but what is that pic grid doing there? 5) No pop-ups please. And finally, remove that spam links front at the bottom of your theme untill your site gets a huge hit. Regards, Abhi2.0
