the first thing that i noticed when i looked at your old site in comparison to the new site is the complete difference in the feel and tone of the website. in your old one, there was a more reserved and professional touch, using shades of grey and black to generate a simple but effective layout. in the blog, there is a wide array of colors and makes the whole thing look a lot more "fun" (for a lack of a better word). however, from reading the index of your old site, it looked like your site was meant to be a professional business oriented in web and domain services. this was immediately clear upon reading the first few paragraphs, which is good. however, on the blog, its somewhat more difficult to discern what the general purpose of the site is. maybe put a small blurb on the side of what exactly you are, such as if you are a company dealing with domain name sales and web design, or if you've converted to just a blog that likes to give out free domain names and sell stuff too. Keep in mind that if you advertise yourself as just a blog which is run by a dilettante in the field, people will be more reluctant to do business.

another thing is, your blog posts vary between first person singular (using I, my, etc) and first person plural (using us, we, our, etc). try to pick one and stick to it for everything. plural is better for a legit company, but singular might be used if its being played off as just a blog.

one bug i noticed is that in comments, for URI, if the person puts their site as just www.website.com, the link reads http://www.dayonlinesolutions.com/www.website.com. You should check if http:// was included and edit the link to add it if it was not.

overall, i like the new site much better than the old one. old one was too boring hehe
