    @aTo: Looks fine. However,seems a bit less on functionality. here are my first thoughts

    I would also like to see a category navigation bar, preferrably below the "blog logo" sticked onto the mainbody.

    &

    The footer looks like some kind of movable widget, can you integrate it into the body by increasing the width. i would like to see it have more columns and usage.

    sorry, i somehow forgot to give feedback abt yours.

    i like the overall color scheme & framework, but there are many things that look too basic.

    The navigation bar looks really creative, but its not what i'm currently after, i'd prefer a more normal looking one so that the theme can be used for all kinds of content and not only web design.

    The post title bg extending out of the body width is something i did not like

    The Footer seems to be good at functionality but looks a bit "basic"

    The font used doesnt seems attractive at all.

    can you replace the "share on facebook" text with buttons/snippets(see an example on top of this thread) and also include digg & twitter buttons.


    Thanks a Lot!!

    Hi,

    I did not like the header navigation. not good for web dev blog! the header, sidebar & body looks simple/plain.

    The footer looks good!

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the entries. here's my feedback:

    @Lucas0123: i like the navigations you have used for pages & categories. But, i did not like the color's, the body, sidebar and everything except then the navigations. Pls try to start from stratch

    @vtopaloff: Looks totally clean! I liked the colors. however it lacks many basic things, you could improvise on these elements:

    1. Use better typography
    2. Add more widgets to sidebar like: recent comments, categories, popular posts etc.,
    3. Footer needs to look more professional
    4. add a navigation menu for blog pages above the blog logo
    5. add the index pages navigation below posts (1,2,3,4,...n)




    I'm looking forward to everyones revisions!
