Hi all! I'm pretty happy with how my blog is at the moment but if you could give me any constructive criticism on it's look and content I'd really appreciate it!

I like how clean your blog looks. Very streamlined and easy to follow. The only thing I would suggest would be to darken the color of your links. I like pink, personally, but it gets hard to see on some of the smaller-sized links, like your labels and on your gadgets. It strains the eye a little. :)

Thanks for the tip! Hadn't really noticed it til now, have darkened up the pink a little and to me it looks much easier to read. If you could have another look and let me know if it's better for you that'd be awesome :)
Your blog is really cute by the way! I love your layout and design.

Better!
And thank you. I'm notorious for changing my blog around. A lot. But I think I like what I'm working with now. Layouts can be hard. :)

Your layout is sooo pretty! I went to shabby blogs and plan on asking them for a custom layout when they update it! Also, I like the 30 day challenge and I might do it as well.

Oh thank you! :) I'm glad you like my layout, I literally just pieced it together from different bits on their website. I'm hoping to actually stick it out and finish this challenge feel free to follow me and heckle me if I don't! Haha.

Are you happy with shabby blogs? I'm a little bored with Blogger and want a little more style to my blog.

Really happy with their range of graphics and stuff. It's just the kinda of retro vintagey girly stuff I love. You should check out their website and they also put up free graphics on their blog.

Viki, I love your header, background, badges, and font! It gives the blog a very quaint and personal feel.

The design isn't bad, but here's my opinions:
- Put the 'Follow with Google Connect' and followers higher up the sidebar.
- Put that picture 2nd or 3rd on the sidebar.
- Have an 'About Me' page
- On the days you do the '30 Day Challenge', don't just put a number and a title, make it be known it's part of a 30 Day Challenge. Before I got to the post about the challenge, I had no idea what the hell was going on
- I know you're foreign (to Americans anyway), but if you want us to read recipe's, at least attempt to also include Americanized conversions. I don't know what 200 degrees Celsius is, and I don't care to look it up
- Get rid of the Navigation Bar up top. Ask me how if you do want to.
Overall, your blog's not that bad, your postings have decent sized paragraphs, nice amount of pictures to compliment the posts, and the design doesn't distract me. The content wasn't for me, until you started talking about food, but if it's what you want to write, then write what you want.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for your tips. :)
I didn't even think about putting in American conversions cause I never thought someone from America would read my blog... I think I might try and find some way of putting in a conversion table rather than listing all the conversions in every recipe.
I'm gonna have a play around with the layout today I think.
