    When I visit a blog, I expect to see the blog posts first thing, like shoemoney.com . I think you should put the info about this site in an about us section... just my 2¢

    What a cool blog!

    But, don't you think the Google search should be on top??? You know, so people can search right away and you get the adsense click. :)

    And the search result page... it's too "white"... it felt like "empty" or "blank"... you can add some colors there.

    Well, that's just my opinion. :)

    Hello.

    I remember this site when I first joined DP in the review section.

    My Review

    Site seems busy. Main content text could use a little extra white space on each side of it. The two columns make it look very busy and distracting on the right.

    Content is great!

    Header... hmmmm.... its good!

    Good site and interesting topics!

    i like it. its clean. balanced. only thing is that there seems to be so many words. like opening up the bible. maybe that was the concept. i agree with other in that search should be on top for easy access and post on front.

    it's pretty cool though I'm not too fond of the three column layout - the right hand side looks a bit overloaded

    Thank you very much everyone. I don't know what to do with the right hand side. I had a 2 col design, but there was just too much so I had to do a 3 col, but now it seems overloaded? Ack... any suggestions for what to do with the 3 col?

    I like it a lot - I would say that the header should match or be a bit wider than the width of your content though, and perhaps the side text is a bit packed, but it works!
