    Hey everyone, i've just finished putting together the design for my blog/portfolio/website. I would love it if you could give me a feedback on how it looks and/or ways it could be further improved. Many thanks.

    Wow, I'm amazed. That's one of the best blog templates I've ever seen, so cheers to you.

    Ways it could be improved? None, really. Fantastic job.

    Very nice ... where did you get the city skyline image from?

    Do you do custom designs?

    I have to agree, that template looks insane.

    I love that color scheme. It makes my eyes want to applaud.

    Yup, 3 days.It only took one day to build though. The other two days were planning and stuff.


    This city skyline is a Photoshop brush i've picked up. I can't for the life of me remember where otherwise i'd give you a link. Sorry.

    Yes, I do custom designs. In fact, that is one of the reasons I created this website.

    Thank you all for you kind words. :) :)

    Very Very nice!

    Love the blue colour and the city skyline looks great. (Brushes are probably available on Deviantart.com).

    RSS icon is very sexy.

    1. the footer is too weak - maybe put some images in there?
    2. the header is a little too thick - maybe reduce the height a little?
    3. the logo is a little too 'dirty' - maybe make it a little clearer (less noise)?

    overall, awesome job. :)

    the colors match very well. a blue themed one that gives it a different feel.

    may i ask how you built those buildings?

    he said he used a photoshop brush(es).

    I really like the design, like the one guy said maybe take off that top 80-100 pixels of the banner because it is kind of high.

    other then that really nice design and keep up the good work. I dont think the logo text has to much noise i like the grunge look of it and I like how the white text has like a glowing effect or maybe it just looks like that.
