    I've just launched my personal blog/portfolio website and would really appreciate some reviews. I was very happy with the design but would love to see what you guys think.

    Thanks for much! :)

    yeah.. a bigger picture. I love the look of it,, just don't go hog wild with the ads on this site.. keep 4 to a minimum.

    to your success,

    Thanks guys, I'll definitely consider posting a larger pic.

    JimmyJam: Yeah, I won't be going past 4 ads ever, I don't want to detract from the content.

    The design on this blog is nice. Pretty smooth and sharp, or basically what a blog should look like. I checked out some of your design work in your portfolio as well and I've got to say, nice work! Maybe I'll get a hold of you for some work in the future.

    Thanks for letting me know nuclearwerewolf. The site is working fine for me, so I assume that it must have been a minor host issue. Let me know if it's ok for you now :)

    Thankyou adadvantage, I really wanted to focus on the content as this is what's key to me (hopefully my portfolio is what shows off my design skills). I hope that you will continue to find my blog useful. :)

    c4cyber: Thankyou also for the kind words. The domain name is... yeah I guess a little random, but I didn't want to go for a boring generic name. I've had the domain for a few years now, and originally registered it because I thought it summed up my personal mentality online. For me it evokes personal improvement, pushing yourself, improving your personal standards. I think when I registered it I also wanted a second meaning of web standards as these are important to me. I would love to get a review of the domain (I've never had one of those). Is it good or bad in your opinion? If it's random is it random in a memorable catchy way, or in a stupid way?

    Thanks both of you for taking the time to review my website. :)

    I believe that the ad spots are still available WholeSaleCheck - however, I'm very sorry but I'm committed myself to only linking to websites that will directly help my visitors with their online ventures (much as I like your website). If you have a webmaster related site also I would happily guarantee you an ad spot if you enter my contest.

    Widarmz: Thanks very much for the kind words and subscription :) I hope that you'll continue to check out my updated content.
