Friendly Request for a Site Review

Hi guys, I'm Brian a FNG who just joined today. I'm trying to improve my site & looking for some recommendations. My blog just turned 4 months old, but is doing pretty well so far. The URL is in my signature block.

I recently changed the logo & have been trying to improve the speed of the site. Not sure how much I really like the logo. I can take honest feedback and would really appreciate your expertise. My design experience is limited, but I'm a quick learner.

    The logo doesn't need to be so big. In my opinion you can make better use of the prime real estate at the top of the page by making the logo smaller, putting some navigation next to it and moving everything else up the page.

    You should also validate your code, as there are many parse errors in the html:

      Thanks Darren, I really appreciate it. I have been checking the errors out, now just have to figure out how to fix them. There are quite a few. I'm a bit of a novice in this area.

      The logo does seem a bit big for no good reason. I'm going to follow your advice.

        I never thought I would say this, but it is too simple. Usually I like sites that are simple yet elegant, but I think your site needs a bit more work. A better header design would help.

    Well it looks fine but your site's header font is too big also images displayed on the site are more larger, try to improve it

    Mongo,

    The site is pretty bland. The blue background makes me sleepy as does the big blue header. I think the Eazy Cheezy domain name is a little too cutesy. It doesn't tell the visitor anything about the sites and is one of the main things search engines look at when ranking.
