   I like the minimalism and your font choices. I'm not a fan of the blue/pink combination, but that's a personal preference.

   As I look at your two columns as they stand now they could probably be combined into one.

   Also, I would put "about" second behind "home" in your navigation.

   Pink and blue is welcoming without being foolish. I support the combination. Good luck.

   The design looks nice but is doesn't validate. There are some xhtml errors.

   Thanks for pointing out. I suppose it is because I use the bookmarker plugin.
   The fact is that there is no actual use for that plugin. I am seriously considering taking it down.

   I have updated the theme further.
   Removed some ads. and it looks much neat...
   What do you think? Please give your valuable advice.

    A few silly suggestions

    Add a bit of margin to your footer to get some white space at the bottom, in Firefox the bottom border is right at the bottom of the screen, looks messy.

    Also, the Google custom search bar (top right) is too big for the container it's in.

    Meyithi,
    I have corrected the mistake. The search bar is now perfect fit. Thanks for pointing that out.

    I think it looks very good and I would make just one suggestion:
    I would just increase a bit the header's height so that the logo could be slightly bigger (as it looks good...)
    Anyway, good work, keep it!

    Amalik,
    Thanks for the review. I am humbled.

    Humbled?
    English is not my native language, so I might have offended you unintentionally. That's option a.
    Option b would be: irony?
    Anyway, I think it's a great work and I wish I would be able to so...

    lol
    I'm improving my english, thanks.
    Another idea: Wouldn't it be better if the logo was on the left?

    Why would it be better?

19. amalik

    Because we instinctively look from left to right, and from top to bottom, as when we're reading...that's why we see more often logos on the left.

    Hmm.. I see.
    May be because I learned this way, I never noticed this. I checked some websites and saw that all of them have the logo in the left. I'll try and make the change.
    Thanks.

    Another thing (and, please don't think it's an obsession), maybe you could add a baseline under the logo, containing some keywords about the blog's topic, it could be good for the readers and the SEO...

    Amalik,
    Thanks for the comments.
    Regarding the baseline, I am not much inclined.... :)
    I don't think there is a need for it.

    By the way, I have removed all ads from my homepage.
    So there will be just contents and contents and contents...

    You're fully right! Contents is the only thing that really matters.
    I regularly read your blog now, I should bookmark it...

    The logo at left is better for me. The first impression I have is something is missing when I enter the site. "Site in construction" is my first feeling.

    Amalik,
    Thanks again for your comments.

    Cryonics,
    I am thinking about it seriously.
