New look of my blog ! Review please

You site looks good~
You should limit the length of popular posts on the sidebar. Also it's better to change the font or weight to make the popular post's title more eye-catching.

Thanks

What does your blog do? That's my first question. Not easy to find out. Try making it clear.

You mix labels and pages in the top menu bar? I'll move the Privacy and About pages to the footer.

Try making some room for "The legendary white space"
Align your "Powered by Blogger" to something, it looks kind of out of place there.
The Blue links on the Grey background in the footer are not very visible.

and finally, Like your plank background!! =)

You need to increase font size in a lot of places and bold them in some areas. Other than that, its pretty good.

Using that tagline quote at the top is a great place to tell your readers what your blog is all about. Right now, it's just a general statement about blogging. This is one way to tell people what your blog is about as people have mentioned above.

Make the font bigger or the colour a little darker. Also, as usual in many other blogs, good design but no specific niche chosen. Write about something particular, not about everything in the world.

As far as i can see, the main layout looks like the default WP theme?
Also, i would suggest you shorten your excerpts.

Thanks

Wow, you have a lot of content which is good, but the theme is too generic. You should check out themeforest for a good theme, and then once you start getting traffic monetize your blog!

Yeah, it appears to just be the standard WordPress theme. Content looks good (might want to use excepts on the index page), but the theme could use some work

Hey hi guyz,
As i said in my last reply that I'm migrating to wordpress. I migrated so that's why for few hours it was on default theme.
Now i changed the theme and re-designed my blog in wordpress. The good point i saw in your replies that touched my heart is that you guyz appreciated my posts, I'm very happy that you guyz liked my writing/posts. Theme is now a free-ware but soon i will buy one, after generating few bucks

Once again thanks again for your replies and reviews.

Thanks

Hi there isalmanbaig, your site looks like its quite proper already. Perhaps a header image to catch more attention.

May i know how do you set the blog layout to display summary & image for each post?
Do we need specific tool or themes to do it?

Thanks

Posting Honest Opinion: The site looks clean, but bland. None of this is to put you down, I just don't want to mislead you.

1) Most of your post don't have images for the teasers.
2) Having a dull blue background is fine, if you have a nice logo with it.
3) Your image inside post Make Your Website No.1 in SERPs with Innovative Content is going over the sidebar, may need to fix that.
4) Your content area inside post is not sized right, everything seems to drip into your sidebar area.

For now those are some things to look into. If this is your first layout, it's pretty good, just need some work, I personally think you should use another theme. There's a lot of free themes that draw your audience in, this one is not doing it for me though.

For content, I usually do 640px. I do that size because that's a default size for youtube videos most of the time, and I think it's the biggest I would go for width for the content area.

With that said though, if you really want to prepare yourself for the future I would go with a theme that is responsive in design. Responsive design are the themes that adapt according to the size of the persons browser window.

So if my window size is 800px, your layout shrinks proportionaely to that size, but overall keeping it's readability. So when looking for themes look for responsive or build one responsive. Looks great on mobile devices too, visit SmashingMagazine and search for responsive design to get an idea of what i'm talking about.

I personally use Thesis 2.0 for all my wordpress sites, but that's because I love the power of thesis. If you can code, Thesis is your best friend. If your new. Thesis is still your best friend. It's very user friendly if you take the time to learn on how to use it. You can also make thesis repsonsive as well.

Not to brag on about thesis, but think of thesis as a framework on top of your wordpress install. It's the best framework for your wordpress site to be successful. Then on top of thesis you can install a skin or just edit the css for it... There's so much to say about thesis that most people don't realize just by glancing at it.

BUT thesis is a paid theme, but if you pay, they have a AWESOME forum of people that help you customize your site. Probably one of the best forums support for a theme, because people on there really LOVE thesis and love helping with your questions. I've been using it for about 5 years now, I wouldn't go use any other theme.

Kind of did some word vomit there, but if you are looking for something free, pick something relatively already good looking already if your not to skilled on styling it. If your pretty skilled on styling and messing with your theme, I would leave the base theme wordpress provides and just style it up.

From what I can tell you just starting and learning, so I would try to get something that your really satisfied with, like the whole package of it.

Me personally, I got a copy of Thesis via a friend, and messed with it for a while until I was able to customize it any way I liked.

You are 100% right because i've also asked from my friend (WP Expert) and he told me about the same size to re-size them, I will do re-size. Another thing that that I'm a newbie in wordpress this is my first week that i've migrated to wordpress.
So it is very difficult for me to maintain and code a theme for my wordpress blog, I'm searching for a good and a user-friendly theme for me and Once again the same thing that a number of my friends also suggested me thesis.
I don't know what is framework and what is benefit of but due to your suggestions and a great respons I'm gonna use thesis for my this blog.
At last bro, I'm extremely thankful to you, I'm a newbie but soon i'm gonna be a pro because of your precious advices and guides. Thanks again bro
