    Looks good. I would check the font of your post headers. Also the sidebar is too large personally.

    I really like it. It has a nice and clean design. And the name is easily memorable. Good luck with it! :)

    @darkblade
    I do agree to post header on top is kinda big, it's part of the theme and I'm trying to fix it.
    Still finding out how to edit the codes. Sidebar wise, I believe it is because there are too little content and stuffs.
    Will be adding more post when I'm free to fill things up and hopefully some 125x125 banners.

    It's my online nick ^^

    Clean design but header area is very big. I think small header, large post area is better. Add something to sidebar, it is very empty.

    Looks like I need to pay more attention to the header, trying.. its not easy there.
    Will try to amend it slowly.. CSS and Image editing is troublesome..

    Layout is good, I wait for a logo, and as Dynashox said, a favicon and contact page are a little mandatory.

    Thanks for all the support and feedbacks...
    Over the weekend, didn't spend much time on it...
    Just had some updates...

    I resized the whole top banner area.. now it won't seems that big as before.. hope its better..
    Favicon wise.. the favicon I uploaded seems to be degraded in my explorer/browser's view..
    The icon quality become very low and ugly.. still trying to improve...
    Also added few more pages as suggested..

    Hmm what else can I do to further improve in looks...
    I'm looking for advertisers who wants to buy some 125x125 banner slots and blog rolls text links...
    For filling up the empty areas and covering some hosting cost..

    More feedbacks will be nice ^^ thanks guys..

    Great looking site...I think you have gotten some very good feedback for it...I agree with all the above so I wont repeat it all. What about the content. Are you pulling in general tech news or are you getting specific. I would try to find a niche tech segment (s) and get really detailed and specific. That's just me...Best of luck

    Thanks, content is purely from my knowledge and research... pure interest and sharing..
    Will have several categories to talk about... still working on content as regular as daily posts..
    Finding specific niche is the marketers style.. I'm just creating a blog to share my interest..
    A range of tech related stuffs.. hardware, software, drivers, tips, guides, google, microsoft, apple, some social networks.. etc..
    Just all the fun.. hang around with me if you people are interested.. would like to see comments on my post too..

    still cant get the facebook share counter working... it does not show.. but in statistics it does has the counter..
    not quite sure whats wrong.. anyone got such experiences?
