    * Design - 5/10 , If you are using free theme , There are lot of better themes
    * Content - 7/10 , In Related posts text is missing
    * SEO Tips- In Main Title , There is no keywords , Put few keywords and work on them
    * General Evaluation - 6/10 , Overall a Good Blog

    Thank you so kindly Tulip, it's a purchased theme, cost $30, I would like to get a custom theme made, but of course, money is the limitation. Could you recommend some good places to get free themes for this sort of blog?

    Feel free to PM me,
    Matt

    Your design is very clean and simple. I like it mate. Your content is usefull too. Try to promote your blog, and you'll get better traffic.

    Thanks buddy, I am trying to get the word out but I'm a shameful-self-promoter :p I'm great at article writing and getting a site online, but for SEO, I need help. I have submitted to about 100 directories, and submit all articles to Social Bookmarking like Digg, StumbleUpon. Also, getting alot of traffic through Bing recently, other than that, you have any ideas?

    Thanks again!

    Thanks MRR, I decided to go with a simple design as I don't enjoy visiting a site that is too complex, or overcrowded with content, yes this layout is repetitive, but everything is in order and organised.

    Thanks again.

    good site, but i suggest moving your adsense ads up next to the picture (on the left of it) will get some good ctr.

    Website is ok however I would change the blue header to a medium - dark grey.

    and have the bottom footer background stretch on auto width as the top is.

    It's great for new sites.
    You need to put simple navigation or categories, so people would easily select interested topic or product more faster.
    You need to improve you theme. Anyway, great job bro
