    Hi

    I am running a blog based on the latest Nokia touchscreen phone - Tube 5800 XpressMusic.

    Blog URL: Tube5800.com

    Can someone please take a look at it and tell some points to improve it. Any suggestions/criticisms/praises are welcome. Thanks.

    If I were you, I would swap the navigation link with the banner so that it is at lower position and closer to the content. The homepage is also too long and basically 2-3 blog post should be sufficient. You will also need navigation links placed on the sidebar or a search button, so that visitors can browse easily.

    I think there is room for improvement, the links in the navigation of
    the site should be lower I think it would look better if you placed it
    below the header, and I think the first page is definitely too long you
    should make it shorter.

    Thanks so much for all the comments.

    I have added navigation in the sidebar by including Popular posts, Recent posts and categories there. Working on banner and upper navigation now. More comments are welcome.

    Thanks so much for all the valuable advices and nice words about the blog. I have also made the homepage shorter now as per your advices by adding a "Read more" link with every post, so the long posts do not load up on homepage.

    Anything someone can suggest to make the monetization better? I am not getting much from adsense and sidebar ads though I have about 500 UV daily now.
