    Hey Astra,

    Thank you for the feedback. I changed my background image to a less busy image, and I believe that the text is more readable. As for the header text, I may change the text spacing for easier reading. Check back for updates. Thanks again.

    Mike

    Now with all background as black, it is easier to read. But your bottom Menu, Recent Entries and Categories are not arranged properly. As mentioned earlier, you should put them in Table so that they will be in 3 columns. That way, it will be neater.

    Sorry. I am not familiar with css as I do mostly with html. I do believe there will be others able to assist you on that.

    If for Table, you just need to do this:

    <table width=100%>
    <tr><td width=15%>
    Menu here
    </td>
    <td width=25%>
    Recent Entries here
    </td>
    <td width=60%>
    Categories here
    </td></tr></table>

    Hi there. Nice blog. There are two things that i would like to comment on. First is the logo. It seems quite blurry. Perhaps make it a bit sharper. And the second is: add more articles and more info. Otherwise, i find it cool! Goodluck and more power to you!

    Great looks at first. A little bit tough to navigate I wasnt exactly sure what the things i was clicking on were. I like the art on the top.

    Yes. I finally see that you have resolved the bottom Menu into 4 sections. Now it looks great and neat.

    Black is okay for your site since you combine with white text. I have seen many others making the wrong combination that turns out to be hard to read. After a few times of modification, the final version seems to be well organise and easy to read. You can also increase the font size by 1 for those who can't see clearly.

    Oh yes, forget to mention one more thing. You should have your URL with the www. instead of without it. Then using .htaccess to re-direct non www to www.

    Other than that, everything is fine!

    Ya the contrast between the two colors are actually quite soothing. If I went with straight black, than maybe the dark issue would apply to this. This blog is

    intended to look trendy and appealing using primary colors with darker backgrounds.

    As for the font, I will change this sooner or later, as I actually enjoy the font size, but I understand it may be small for some readers.

    Do you mean the URL in my sig? If not, can you explain what you mean?

    Yes, I do agree with the colors.

    Fonts size is okay with me but from my survey in the past, some will prefer 1 size bigger.

    Yes, I am referring to your sig and also your site. You should do a 301 redirect to www. for non www as normally recommended in view of SEO.

    nice and different layout. Need to fix the image on top - hard to read the text within it, plus it is taking up too much page space, maybe streach it out and reduce the height.

    Good luck
