    Without looking at the sites I've gotta say - great domain names.

    GreekHomeRecipes is good. I like the header and the overal design, although I think a really good idea would be to put one of those Greek style patterns across the header area. I don't know the exact name, but you often see them on mosaics and walls. (http://artlandia.com/wonderland/glossary/imgs/GreekKey.jpg)

    One thing that could be improved would be the text over the header. It's white, and it clashes with the background image. Some image placements aren't so good - the Technorati button being one of them. You can fix this by removing the border and then perhaps centering the image.

    I also like the strategic placement of the AdSense banner along the left before the navigation. This will maximise your earnings (and it seems to me like this is your main priority), albeit at the cost of decreased ease of navigation as the user will have to scroll down to get to the navigation links.

    The "bookmarks" section could be improved by removing the image borders and then centering the section as a whole. Failing that, just add a bit more padding on the left so the images don't stick to the edge.

    but the background of blognerds is dark so I didn't like it

    I checked out BlogNerds...

    I love blue, but I think the blue/black combo in that site makes it a little too intense... and i have to agree with will morgan, "blognerds.com" what a great domain... hold on to that gem and sell it in 10 years then retire :) haha...

    Hi tonyfloyd, I had simply given my opinion on black background, but you should think what decision to take. :confused:
    otherwise do one thing, if more people are suggesting you to make it white or some light shade, then try it and again ask people to review and then make final decision.
    hhmmmm.... well I will vote for lighter background :)

    I love food so naturally Easygreekrecipes is nice. It reminds me a little bit of Allrecipes which is good that you can review the outcomes.

    greek home receipies should advertise the greek language course at language-pod.com. they have an affilliate program that pays %50 of each sale (so it works out to be about $12 per sale sent from your site).
