    I just created this blog a couple of weeks ago. I just replaced the theme with an original theme. Please review the blog and let me know what you think of everything.

    The blog is a catch all review blog.

    Your Review

    Either place some more stuff on the right side or display less articles on the homepage.
    The font color of the anchor texts in "Tags" section ,which is blue,doesn't look good.
    Maybe you can try a two-column theme.Just my 0.02

    Thanks, I changed the amount of posts. The colors seem fine. As far as the right side, more will be added but not over doing it on a new blog. I hate two column blogs because there is not much room to expand.

    change the keyword links at the top to actual links and try to balance all the columns
    and maybe put the meta info (date, author, category) under the title of the post

    the theme looks pretty good. Domain name is awesome for a review site but i think those ads don't blend too well with the website. I think you could use a wide sky scraper in the right sidebar and you should loose the top ad and try to insert ads between posts using a plugin like Adsense Injection or Shylock Adsense.

    You have white text on a white background :confused:
    The orange bullet points are a bit too big/overpowering too.

    I tried to fix something else and I accidentally changed the color of the headers. Thanks for pointing that out. :)


    Does anyone know how to fix the Google ad on the top to work in IE? It works fine in Firefox but not IE.

    It's very nice. Ad size/shape is too narrow and doesn't fill the space very well. Good info and links etc. Nice colors and header. Well done

    I like your site. However, the ads don't look appealing. From the design point it is good.
