    Hey folks, I have come back from a long break (darn school) and gotten back into blogging and have made strides to make my site a lot better.

    I've worked on formatting more, and content... I still feel the title stuff lacks flare, I'm not too good with art design so I haven't made a unique logo yet.

    Would appreciate any criticism/ advice.

    Even though it is my first real blog, don't hold back on the criticism, I can take it ;)

    Its actually a really nice start. The design is nice and clean. Here is what I found that needs to be improved on:
    - I don't like the stat counter image at the bottom I would use a service that doesn't have one.
    - Also the link at the bottom you cannot see them.
    - You also have some text alignment problems.
    - The footer of the page is just jacked up....
    - The Right Menu Needs to fix the page (add more content to it)
    - Maybe Add some more color to the design.

    I am a newbie. So please take that into consideration when you read these comments. Your page is very colorful and contains a lot of information. Is it usual to have so much (varied) information in one blog? Just asking as I am about to take a trial run at blogging myself. Good luck and much success in your present and future endeavors.

    Yeah the text alignment and giant white spaces are very annoying to me... I just don't know how to fix them :mad:

    I'm learning every day though, and sooner or later it will be fixed.
