    Hi,
    I bought the freshnews theme by Adii, and tried to use it for my personal blog. Didn't work very well...so I redesigned it to suit my needs.

    Now I want your opinion on the new look :)

    P.S.: Do check out the link gallery!

    And thanks in advance, rep coming your way if you criticize this.

    OK, the look is great, but it does seem somewhat somber for satire. The links section is good. It has a nice look to it. Although I'd like to know what the sites are about before I bother clicking on them. Right now I just see the title of the site.

    There should also be something that makes me laugh right away upon arriving at the page. That will get me hooked.

    The photos should be larger.

    I would get rid of the youtube video. I'm not going to your blog to watch Youtube.

    Like I said make the user laugh. Maybe more photos with funny captions, instead of long, drawn out paragraphs.

    Artistically, it looks very nice.

    Thanks!

    Maybe what I'll do is, remove the videos section and replace it with a "Random Image" module, and then put a lot of funny images in a folder to pull from or something.

    And add some descriptions to the gallery.

    And put captions under photos :p

    Don't know how I can make it less "sombre" though...

    Don't get what you're trying to say, but thanks!

    Did you find Zhu's blog? Or is that a grammar mistake on my site?

    Meh, lol.

    It looks pretty good. I like the color scheme and the header logo, quite nicely done.
    Do you also own deepsarchasm.com? Because it appears to be re-directing to deepsarcasm.com :)

    Looks good to me. I would suggest perhaps changing the black color of your font in your header(logo). Its getting a bit lost. I would also make the tabs for popular, comments, etc. sit on the content box below it. They sort of looks lost floating up there.


    Nicely done,
    Nigel
