    Hello people, I have a blog about making money online and experimenting it... I'm a fan of simple layout designs so I'll ask you people what do you think of my design:

    anyway the site is www.ebizexperiment.com


    be honest!

    imo, it is too "light" and I don't like fluid width layouts. You may try another theme.

    The blog looks simple and clear. I think there is no need for 100% width, try to decrease it into 75%..

    I like that it is very simple and using a minimalist design... a little color is nice though (for the eyes). Also, optimizing the sidebars could do you some good as well. Good start though.

    re-size the width of the site, it looks like its been expanded..also the site is lacking that wow factor, maybe add a nice header and logo..I also think the content needs one or two images, it looks to texty and boring.

    It may look simple but note that it took me tens of hours to customize it a few months back ago, Notice the navigation links right beneath the blog title, that took me a while, and everything else too, re-adjusting width of sidebar widgets so i could fit int two 125 by 125 ads, customizing comments style so there isin't the blogger logo anymore, the favicon, etc, if you look at it you don't really realise that it's a blogger blog, customized all that with zero experience in coding, just searched on the internet for every single switch i had to make. But the sad thing now is that I'll have to change themes because of several things; links are hard to see since they're not even underlined, and recent posts and popular posts they woudnt display properly, + that not enough widgets I THINk.
    Im thinking of a new template!

    The template and layout looks too old and the header is not much impressive.

    For what it's worth, the information is laid out clearly, so that's a plus :cool:
    The "every day normal guy" doesn't quite mesh with the impersonal template. I think one of them's got to adjust.

    Your design isn't something really. You should create something more creative and a good header that will interact with your visitors.

    Not much to rate there, it was a pretty boring theme.

    I don't think it's that bad. It needs a nice banner/logo though, and maybe some gradients. It's a bit too solid.

    Thanks for mentionning and to all others who commented

    The "Make Money Online" niche is pretty competitive, and I believe this template should in theory be good because it has more widget space where ill add site statistics, most popular posts, adsense skyscraper well hidden in the middle and maybe another affiliate as well as visible subscription buttons. When I started this forum topic at dp I had another theme with less widget space, the current one i changed is the green header one you see

    Thanks for feedback all, and keep the feedback comming!, so far a few people don't like the theme, I will keep on improving it and also keep an eye on the feedback here and perhaps ill go for another theme then


    Well, id like to ask ppl questions, do you like the design of : http://talk2mycpa.blogspot.com/ http://www.datmoney.com/ , http://www.iblogtoblog.com/

    and also my chess blog with another design, would lok good on my mmo blog? heres the design http:
    //www.chessopeningsmisc.com/


    As always, thanks alot for feedback!!
