Actually, that's a lie, I had one in high school too.

Let me know what you think, though.

i like it, looks very clean , fresh ,the theme is brilliant, the location of the adsense is smart and sit well ( you will not get too many clicks though, but maybe this is not the purpose of it ?

you might consider of changing something in the little box of text on the top right side , that say "Kevin asks..." its very hard to read and the font does not look good , if its not necessary i would take it off and also the text box on the left side.

i like the customize white button on the left side
overall i can say your blog is sweet looking ,play a nice game of being simple and clever on the same time .

i will give u small tip on the technical level , if you want to make friendly url's to make your blog more friendly to visitors and search engines , (in stand for example a page that looks like that : http:/thekevindolan(.)com/?p=19
you will have a page that looks like :
http:/thekevindolan(.)com/post-name )

you need to do the fallowing
go to
setting-permalinks
then
change from defult to Custom Structure
and write there
/%postname%/
and save
after you change it , it will take around 30 min until the change will take effect
Best of luck

Thanks, I was just in the middle of trying to do the permalinks while you posted that, so thanks for the help.

That's a great personal NYTimes Blog Format you got. I especially like your introduction post:

The primary reason for me making this website was because I was sick of the fact that I was not the first result on Google when you search for Kevin Dolan. In fact, I’m not even on the first page. I thought about it, and I’ve never really done any SEO (Search Engine Optimization) work on my own name. I figure, neither have a lot of the other Kevin Dolans, so it shouldn’t be long before I’m on top. So, it begins today.

Reasonable enough indeed.

Looks good. It has a nice clean format and look. I suggest adding more length to the bar below the google link ads so it is not as cramped.

Looks really good. It`s your design or template?

buddybuddha · 06-20-2009, 10:29 PM

It's a bit of both. It's a heavily modified version of the iNove template.
