Redesigned My Blog - What Does Everyone Think?

Hey everyone, just wanted to show off my new blog design

the link is in my signature. InternetBusinessDaily.net

I'm going to focus more on my trials in affiliate marketing from now on, so I figured I would post to this section.

Let me know what you think! (suggestions apprecaited)

 

The design is nice. The only thing that I don't like is the search area. I don't like the "search button". Maybe it's just me but "search"? Searching your site, internet, etc.. ?

Might just be me.

 

yea, agreed. i need to do something with that. do you know how to make text appear in there before someone clicks? maybe it can say "search this site" or something

 

Looks good always helpful to redesign a site.

 

I like it, it's not too busy and annoying, it looks professional.

I say good job.

 

javascript:

<script language="javascript">
function searchtext(obj){
	if(obj.value == "Search this site"){
		obj.value = "";
		obj.style.color = "#000000";
	}else if(obj.value == ""){
		obj.value = "Search this site"
		obj.style.color = "#CCCCCC";
	}
}
</script>

Code (markup):

search box:

<input id="s" type="text" name="s" value="" value="Search this site" onblur="searchtext(this);" onfocus="searchtext(this);" />

Code (markup):

Blog is a type of websites or better said a cms script. Type of blogs that you most often see are free hosted blogs like blogger.com, thumblogger.com,... Don't worry, we were all newbies at some point.

Don't know what it looked like before...but it looks pretty decent.

 

looks great i really enjoy the color scheme of it.

 

it looks nice but there are too many ads, i reckon you should spread them out a bit

 

The design is really nice...good content too
