Just a new blog that I started about basketball. http://basketballstuff.blogspot.com some advice please?
It's pretty good. You spelled Somewhere wrong in your subtitle. For one thing, the layout didn't reach the side of my browser, and I'm on an 800x600 computer. That could just be blogger, though, or maybe it is different at higher resolutions, I don't know. I only know what I see. I'm not sure a dark layout was the way to go for this type of blog, but that is just a personal preference. Also, you might want to think about putting more in the sidebar of the homepage, but just the homepage. That could require you to do some hand-coding, but it will look nicer in the end. Nice blog, otherwise.
For your very first ad, instead of making it centered, try aligning it to the left so it matches up with the content area.
