Your blog looks really great only think of a unique logo. Your logo is your identity, your brand so make one or let somebody make a good looking brand/logo. For the rest it looks great and your topics are also interresting. Only be aware of that setting up an active forum is very dificult!
Great use of pictures, i believe thats my downfall some good monetizing on the site looks nice and simple but professional i like it Are you getting much traffic from the site?
I think the blog looks good the layout, design, content, and the color scheme is good but I agree with rruben I think the blog needs a logo.
proxyblog: Its a nice blog , all the things are arranged perfect . I think if you will use ad unit (top banner and the side bar ad unit )with same theme and color (border color ) then it will look great . Rest of the things are good I think ! proxy topsite: It's a good portal , same things I have noticed in this site . If you will use 468*60 Ad unit instead of square ad unit then it will look more natural . Rest of the things are fine . Best of Luck with your branded portals !! Regards, Microbrain
