   I've been maintaining this blog for almost 6 months now, but can't really build traffic. I was wondering what feedback I could get on how to improve it, or other people's thoughts on how to gain that crucial traffic.

   Thanks!

   Not sure if it's just me, but on Chrome it took a REALLY long time to load and when it finally did some of the formatting was wonky. Like..the google ad was covering your numbers at the bottom. So i opened firefox, which my adblocker ate all your ads, loaded a little bit faster and the formatting seems okay without the advertisments. Maybe it has something to do with load times? (your logo is a bit tiny as well, but i'm just picky that way..mine is prob too big. :)

   Side note: Your homepage isn't listing your updated recent articles..last one shown is from Nov 1st, but I notice in your slidebar that there are more recent ones hidden.

   I really like the layout of your page. The scrolling news at the top is very attractive. I agree with the first poster. Your logo is a bit too small and it took firefox a while to bring up the page.

   In regards to traffic... it takes a long time to get a lot of traffic.. my site has been up for about 2 months now and I have had about 4,000 visitors.... far from a great number. I was able to increase my overall traffic by 30% by following the steps listed here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/21-tactics-to-increase-blog-traffic-2012

   If you are bored you can check out my blog and let me know what you think.

   I have around 50 daily viewers, and 15,000 views all time since I started it around July, but those are mainly people in my social networks. Any tips on branching out?

   Okay here's the screenshots from Chrome:
