    Hi there

    Just had a quick look. It seems interesting. I am a freelance website designer so I will definitely have another, longer look later on.

    In terms of design, maybe you could vary font-sizes a bit and perhaps use different shades of the colours you are using at present. This might help create a bit of variety. Small fonts, for example, are often just as effective at grabbing attention as much larger fonts.

    As for the header, let's just say that design is subjective. I personally don't like it, but others might think it's great.

    Hi. I like the header. I think its a tad wide though. And a lot of blue. Maybe other colours?

    Best regards! :)

    your blog contents are good,
    and header image also excellent,
    but u should use a proper theme.
    and put a email/rss subs and twitter follower icons on right top sidebar.
    then ur dite will be a full filled one

    Glad you like my header:D

    what other color goes well with blue? maybe green.

    I made it more wide coz sometimes i open a blog and think my wide screen is totally useless coz the blog wide takes only half of my screen.
    My screen is 1280 * 768....

    I guess other people think same.

    I use a free wordpress theme but i changed a few things...the wide and the right sidebar

    I'll follow your advice to put the rss and follow twitter icon there.
    Actualy i wanted to put the rss feeds there earlier but i haven't figure out yet how to do it :p

    I already get around 5-10 uv every day from google. they all search for "freelancer online".
    I guess i choosed a pretty good domain name:)

    edit: Where do i find this follow tweeter icon? I couln't find it on their website...

    The blue is the only issue I have right now. Seems a bit vibrant for the rest of the design. Tone that down a bit.

    Try another theme. This one is too basic for the content you have on there. Try looking for a theme that makes your main posts stand out a bit more - at the moment, they seem to blend into the sidebar

    Nice site. I like the blog format and that's really up to you I think! You may want to use more tags on your articles. Great job so far!
