Please review my travel blog

    I created a blog to document my travels, plus to give advice on travel, work and play.

    Please let me know what you think:

    http://www.pronomad.net/

    I want it to be as minimalist as possible, but I think I need to improve the current setup. I'm thinking of changing the title to a nicer and more colorful graphic.

    If you want to read a couple of the articles, it would be great to have some feedback on my writing too. Even if it's just a sentence or two, any feedback is appreciated.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Looks good mark. But just one thing missing, your flickr. Reading your article makes me want to see more. But without pictures im lost. I need something to catch my eyes. Make me stay a few minutes longer before i click on your subscribe button. If you have flickr on the sidebar, i think you can forget about having colors in the header. The flickr will be the magnet.

    You're a man after my own heart, travelling is my life too.
    Any chance you can PM me on tips about travelling and running a buisness? you work online right?

    Edit: I'd be happy to design you some funky artwork for your blog if you wanted.

    The site is very clear, nice written. Links open a little bit slow. You really should work with graphics, put more colours and make a design connected with travelling, put som small videos if there are some relevant.

    What I'm hearing are two things:

    Logo/header and general blog color scheme

    Logo/header - I can make this or have someone make it for me, but the design and colors will depend on my final color scheme.

    Color scheme - How do I go about choosing a color scheme. Is there any decent guides to help me pick a set of specific colors?
