Hi Beau71,
Thank you for the comments, I will take this into advisement. A few people have said to me that they would like to see a nicer banner so I think this will be the first thing that I look at getting fixed.

Thank you for the visit (and sorry for the delay in approving your comment).

1 – A nice graphic banner across the top.
2 – I am thinking about going to three columns and I imagine ads on the right, content and navigation on the left.
3 – The color combination, especially the blue (minus the Google Ad blue)

Hi Sir Robbie Rob,
Thanks for your comments. In regards to RentACoder, I was in the same boat as you, and I decided that it was just easier to pay someone to do it. LOL mind you I said to myself that I would not do it until I have been blogging for a year (OK OK… so I did it a *month* early hehe).

Oh and thank you for your suggestions, I will have a look but if people like you do not find them intrusive then I may as well keep them… they earn me a dollar a month or so haha and I will have a look at playing around with a different header, it would be nice to have something that is more tailored to the site.

Thanks for your comments.

I think your ads are fine. If you’re set on getting rid of them, I would go with nothing. It will give you a cleaner look…to your already clean look. Which what I love about the blog. The one thing I would like to see, a different header than the gradient one.

Peace

That's awesome to hear about RentACoder. I have a bunch of projects I want to get off the ground. Most of them are waiting for me to learn a bunch of different technologies. I would probably be better off paying someone to do it. Sir Robbie Robs last blog post..Apartment Living; Only for the Tardcore

Hi Nishadha,
Thanks for that I will take a squiz at it (as I am aware that this is one problem with the original template, not being XHTML transitional).

And Jitendra, I may know the issue that is causing this. I will drop you an email about it however so as not to spam up my own blog LOL.

Stuart,

You should also add your OpenID URL as an identity to your account…This should address the issue with the comments not showing up in your profile…Let me know.

Thanks,
Jitendra

One thing that I try to do with my sites is make them valid XHTML transitional , which makes sure they look the same in almost all valid browsers. Many of these errors can be fixed easily. Check out my post , http://rumblinglankan.com/how-to-look-good-in-any-browser-1/

Hi Jitendra,
I have not been keeping a note. When I finish work for the day I will take a look over a few of my favourite blogs and get a list together for you.
Cheers

Stuart,

We should recognize the OpenID based comments…Can you point me to the blogger blog where you are seeing the issue?

Thanks, Jitendra

Hi Jitendra,
As a site owner I have been really loving it, I think it has helped promote more people to leave comments on my blog and has really kick started some good conversation (just look at my 3 most recent posts for proof of that ).

As a commenter however I really only have one major gripe, on Blogger blogs I cannot seem to get my SezWho account recognised at all. I always comment with OpenID (to make life easy) but I know that is not currently supported.

So I am finding that as a commenter a lot of my comments are going unchecked (well… every single one on a Blogger blog).

Other than that, I look forward to seeing how the community builds (both on Entrecard, Sezwho and my own blogs) and what SezWho has in the pipeline as far as development is concerned.

I have no advice for you. I just wanted to come in and say thanks for dropping by my blog with your last comment. I really did enjoy the “hug”.

Again, thank you.
