    Nice RSS design. For your layout, I think there's a bit too much blue in it.. I would replace the blue text with a nice dark green..

    Hello Glo-Con.

    Just had a look at your site. The site is informative (it had me reading intensely through and checking links to verify information).

    design: lots of white or lighter colors - hard on the eyes. i think that if you brought the grey that is shown on the menus on the right to the content area... that would make a differenence. that way people like myself don't have to break so much while reading through the information.

    Yeap great articles...design wise it was a bit plain...change the trees as everyone says, and put in some shininess, curved edges, etc. With a blog topic like yours, you'll be taken more seriously by some (me at least) if you have a web 2.0 feel. Not to say that I don't take you seriously, because I've already subscribed! But I'm talking about the first impact, which makes a huge difference.

    @8everything: Ok, I will try to change the blue into green :)

    @kodut : it took me several hours to find that image...I will try to find a better one. Any suggestions?

    @Tradeya: I'm running some Adsense experiments i'm going to write about in a few days. That's why they are not blended on the first page :)

    @Corderbari: Ok...nobody likes my banner with the trees :D

    @UrbanMonk: I really don't have an idea how to change it, any suggestions?

    Thanks to all for taking the time to give me some tips on how to improve my site :)

    I'd change the theme design IMO.

    Every money making, webmaster/seo blog I come across is using that design.

    There's tons of themes.

    Be unique ;)

    But I made so many changes on this theme and added so many plugins that it would take me a week to reinstall everything on a new one :eek:

    I know the feeling.

    I changed my blog theme so many times, but if you want to be taken seriously, I do think you need to be unqiue.

    I'm sure not everyone will agree with me.

    Another tip.

    I don't know about you but Im rubbish at graphic design, so when I need something creating I hold a contest here on DP, you'll be surprised at the quality of the work.

    personally, i like the design. It's nice and clean. It's easy to read. Loads very fast.
    However, the ads background color should be changed

    Very nice blog! :) The only thing I'd change is your links color, either in the sidebar or content area. I like white and clean blogs. :D

    Thanks for all suggestions.

    For all those that did not like my header image, what do you think about it know?

    Does it look more professional?
