More to come – those changes take time. I have to test them on different browsers, etc.

I really like the site,and .com is probably best, but the design on the other hand is pretty bad (no offense to any one here) I’ve done webdesign stuff from time to time, and the layout is a tad bit confusing.

I’d recommend some links all the way at the top with the banner , contact us, and so on, and at the bottom too. also I find the ads and text tend to blend in alot, it’s hard to focus on content.

I did design a blog like design a year ago for wordpress, I can email you a screencapture of it, if you’d like.

I am very limited with the blog platform I am using, but I started with it and I do not have an easy way of switching. I have to play with the style sheets in order to accomplish any major design changes.
Please, do sent me your template (just for an idea, I will not use them)- I am currently spending a lot of time online trying to study UX.

Actually thanks a lot for the feedback. I knew I did not like the side bar, but did not know that the white buttons are so horrible… in addition they do not provide any help to the user.
After 1/3 of the answers were that readers do not like the design of the blog, I started with the changes.

The instance in which I like them is when navigation occupies one column, content occupies one column, and advertising occupies a column all of it's own. <br /><br />Regarding the buttons. I like the existence of the links to del.cio.us and such, just not the buttons you had. Logos on black backgrounds would have looked much better.

I am seriously thinking of re-doing the GUI of the blog. The problem is that the software I am using (I do not want to mention names) is very limited. I may have to switch 100% to Blogger or Wordpress in order to accomplish what I have in mind. Thank you – I really appreciate you feedback. I am seriously thinking of re-doing the GUI of the blog.

The new “let’s place a poll on everything” strategy is obnoxious. More so because of the flood of pictures of the D700, but obnoxious none the less.
