    Nice and cool look. You done really good job. The color scheme and font you use here is simply awesome. I personally appreciated your hard work. The navigation is simple and looking good. If you make little bit changes in it . The Dark Gray color you use in footer if you use on mouse hover and selected link it will be look better.

    Add nav links in footer, it may help in decreasing the bounce rates, and also change the footer links hover from red to pure white.

    hope it helps

    Your "Previous Blog posts" link placed in the sidebar. Move to the bottom of your content section, right after last post on page. And give it a bigger font size or even make it a button, big red button

      Well, for starters...the colors for me are not inviting at all. The red on white with gray background is just plain blahhhh. Sorry, just being completely honest here. Also, the style of the blog is what I consider old style. I feel it should be wider, more modern and inviting a design. And, the very first two things that jumped out at me were the adsense ads, which is good and bad. On the good, of course you do want to generate revenue from your ads, but the bad of it is they are not the right color and look to obvious as ads. Which just turned me right off, made me just want to click away from your site instead of staying on it and checking out your interesting content. You have decent content, but you need to draw your visitors into it, so they stay longer and interact with your site. Which brings me to my last point, you really don't have anything on your site to interact your visitors to or with. People visit a site and they should be drawn into the site and it's content. Don't bold the paragraph headers instead bold words (Preferably targeted keywords within your text and content. But, only a few. And, I would never use red). There are many free themes that are wider and more modern looking as well as quick loading. You may want to consider one of them for your site. I would also choose one that is responsive.

      I have over ten years in website design and development, I really do hope this information helps you. These are just my opinions, others may see it all differently. And many here have left good tips and advice as well.

      Good luck!!
