    Persenally i liked the previous design better.
    1 Thing i would really edit is this picture above this post saying news, i think it’s to bright (or at least the background). Almost getting a headache.
    This is meant supportive, not as taking you down. ;)

    Ofcourse you may ask me that. I think the previous side bar was better, but that doesn’t fit with this design (at least the colors doesn’t).
    What also is quite annoying is that you cant reach the catogories at once, you first have to click a tab, if I were you i would seperate the tagcloud from it.
    Also the menubar beneed the header contains not enough links in my oppinion, so it look kinda emty, may you should put a link with contact and PSD shop in it?
    And a little tip for the logo, the dot is a little pixaleted at the top. I’m using a LCD screen so everything is sharper so you may not see it if you use a CRT moniter.

    Sounds like alot, but maybe other people may say other things.

    And another question, how can i use a gravater? I don’t see a field or anything to place a gravatar link…

    you have to signup to gravatar (its free) and upload your image, once you have uploaded your image, your gravatar will be displayed on every blog you post on that has gravatrs enabled.

    as for the header the dot is not pixelated its just becuase it has a gradient stroke on it, to be honest i just throu the header together as quickly as i could to get the site online :)

    the navigation on the other hand was abit of a pain as id wanted the catorgories where the page links are but was unsuccesfull :(, i shall add more pages thou, just give me chance lol, also i think seperating the tagcloud might be a good idea.

    I do appreciated the feedback end of the day its you guys out there looking at the site not me :) i welcome all critism harsh or not.

    Thx for your comment
