The official How Can I Improve My Blog / Critique thread

Because I don't want a ton of these posts being made, have at in here.

If you want to know what you can do to improve your blog, want input on your design, blah blah, link to your blog in here.

(But remember if you can't take the heat and are going to get all defensive, don't ask for it.)

I'd like input! Why not? :) I am sort of clued in already as to a few things I could improve on, ie finding a niche, layout, spending more time on my blogs rather than just ripping them out and writing them straight away, etc...but it would be nice to see what others think. (Is it possible t odo much with my layout with blogspot? I'd like a wider blog, with a column on the right, and maybe to do some simple stuff with the background, but I don't think that's possible. Is it possible if I ditch the .blogspot in my url?)

you can definitely make your blog wider -- I use the minima blogspot template because it is so versatile. But if you google blogger tips -- there are whole blogs devoted to manipulating code. I think Blogger Buster is the best one.

was about to say small fonts, but that doesn't really a problem, i think.

It's a litle busy for me, but I had no problem reading your blog. Which is all that really matters.

agree with grant and andhari,,i dont like the blogger toolbar and i think ur font is too small to be read, perhaps for those who with eyes minus..

darker font would be nice, but your background is so... white and white hurts my eyes.

i really like the damask background, but because it's so subdued, maybe you could do a little more with the header? it's a little bit white and clinical, like the top of a sheet of letterhead. but if you were going for the minimalist look, you did it excellently. :)

Agree! The header can be improved but I love the rest. The white background and the black texts in medium fonts, so easily readable and neat :)
