This is a ready theme, but I made a few adjustments. I actually love it, but the reader is king, and I'd like to know how you guys feel about it?

Extremely simple...you should add more color to the site.

ApeXX · 07-12-2007, 11:02 AM

I like how you kept it simple, however in my opinion it's too simple and plain to keep my interest for long. Try adding some more color variety or possibly add some pictures or graphics to help spice it up a little.

I like the website, however, in my opinion, it is just too plain to really keep users (IE: me

) interested.

Good luck!

If simplicity were king, you'd be the absolute emperor.

You definitely need some level of custom work done. Even if it's just different shades of white, some visual dividers, backdrop, watermarks. You could look extremely elegant if you'd convert the stale white into a marble white with white watermarks. Yes, white on white is doable, just takes some finesse.

Simplicity? Yes, absolutely. However, there's such a thing as too simple.

Lol.. thanks everyone.. The verdict:: Its too simple.

. I'll work a bit on the header and will try adding a lightish white background. I'll let you know again then.

I love the theme.

Specially the red leaves etc, classy and cool.

Good Luck

Ok.. so finally my blog gets a new theme. Its a mix of my favorite colors. Red and Black. I like it a lot now.. What'd ya guys think of it?

EDIT : @mwzd, thanks

, and thank you sharing your ideas on the blog posts

ApeXX · 07-14-2007, 10:55 AM

I like that theme a lot more Hellmet. It is simple like the first one however has color and images to help keep my interest.

Good work!

The site looks amazing. The one thing I don't like is the auto stretch. Also you should get a favicon for your site. When I click the IndiaBT link it first shows me a page to comment on then redirects me. You should probably fix that so it goes straight to that site.

hellmet · 07-30-2007, 11:06 PM

thank you ^^ for your comments

. Will be fixed.

I also think it's a little too simple, looks just like an ordinary blog to me.

Finer - Tommy · 08-09-2007, 05:25 PM

I think that simplicity is what makes a site look good. The only suggestion that I have is that you get a better logo. It doesnt fit with the site.

Is there anything to indicate this blog is about domains? I like the ad free. Very clean.

Its not just a blog for domains. Its a blog about my life in general, and some of my views on things around. And yea, the 100$ from Google isn't worth all the pain and clutter. I like it ad-free.
