My blog layout in my opinion is simple and clean. Tell me what you guys think though. Tell me if you find any errors with a browser. http://fithope.com/
Did you design it yourself? It looks nice, clean and neat. The header placement is unique and a bit tricky. I expect it put higher than it is now. But it's just me.
I will monetize again in the future. I have an adsense account, but I'm after traffic and article writing currently. I made the mistake of putting adsense on it too early. I'll have to draw out another layout to figure out my adsense placement. Yea, header is a bit funky I do agree. I'm not sure if I want it above the navigation. This was the hardest one I've ever customized. I'm basically at the point where I can do it from scratch. HTML / CSS gets very simple when you learn from trial and error. I didn't do it from scratch I had a layout, but I understand it enough. Once I have enough for a small hosting package and get a wordpress.org set up I'll start to build a scratch very clean one.
Yea, adsense isn't that important in reality. It's a minor step when it comes to advertising. Not really. It's a spare time hobby currently.
