    Hi,

    nice site, few suggestion:
    1) change font of text ' You are here:' and 'Today is ...'. it differs from other site text's font.
    2) text in the logo, it not looks very professional, it could be more smoothly

    I hope my post will be useful, good luck

    Over all the site doesn't seem professional at all. Take the adsense out from the logo space.

    i think the site design serves the purpose. you're semi-blogging and the color theme is good

    The site is loading too slow, it may be due to the huge number of image in home page. Try this...

    Thanks Guys. Yes I'm aware its loading slow, its on a shared account right now, I'm moving it over to one of my dedicated server this weekend, I just threw it out there in a hurry. The logo is a little blurry I am aware I also threw that up from a .png file, i'll get the .psd file this weekend and clean it up. yes -Secret- you are correct I didn't design the theme but I did tweek it and removed some aspects and added others. and TheStrangeFruit that Adsense spot has made me $30 since Monday. I agree it needs to be mixed in better, again just threw the site together on a whim.

    Thanks Down-Tube! Still a work in progress, content is more important than any design as we should all know, I have almost 200 pages of content I wrote and I'll have 1000 pages within the next 2 months then i'll worry about a full on design redo, the new template is already in the works.

    The page layout and the content is great however, the logo does not look professional
    you should get a more professional logo.

    nice blog design, you definitely need a logo though.

    The site is...well...i like it really. The logo of course needs to be replaced.
    And one more thing...the favicon for your site is O.K...as long as it blends
    with the logo you have in mind.

    Haven't seen the old Logo, but this one looks okay ;)

    Still, You haven't changed the font family of the 'breadcrumb & date' text.. right under the header banner !!

    btw: lol, the theme designer & sponsors (footer) links have been removed as well :)
