   Just so you know, there is such a thing as an edit button. =)

   Well first impression= busy. You don't really know where to look first, and the fact that everything's the same colour doesn't help either. Business is mostly due to the triple-column effect. I don't know whether both the narrow ones are necessary, quite frankly.

   Layout= pretty plain. I'd like a more colourful background image or header image, but hey, it's your site. Also, the header image took a fair while to load (for an un-complex image), and I'm on broadband here.

   Overall= organised and professional, albeit a little cluttered.

   Speed wise NO PROBLEM loading anything, StaceyL mite have DSL, than again it depends on the traffic and the server your on, PLUS the database hits going on also.

   IHMO, loose the grey background of your eyes or partial face, some people like plain jane looks, me personally I enjoy plain jane and go for the content and what I want on my blog.

   Cluttered I can agree with StacyL on.

   Honestly there are many other themes like yours available for download.

   Best of luck too you.

   p.s. I love how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of hosting now, and going through Godaddy or others as resellers. I guess if you sign allot of people up you can make some serious money.

   It's so weird how different opinions can totally be opposites. I have people who LOVE it then there are others (like you two, and others) :-) that don't

   Heather, I just took a peek at it and here is my 2 cents...

   Personally, I like how it looks at first glance. I like the layout and the white background. The photos and youtube seem to go well on the left and the navi on the right.

   I like the background.. but I am not a fan of static background.. staying still while text scrolls over it. IMHO, If it were mine, I would take the dark grey background pic, lighten up the grey some (maybe to ebebeb) and make the background non repeat but move with the type... but that is just me. Or even lighten it up still if you are going to leave it static

   The Red, Yellow and Blue bright in the logo on the top left really does not seem to go with the colour scheme you have with links being dark blue and the only other colour is grey and black.. Personally, I would settle for different shades of grey or one colour with different shades.. maybe like dark blue, a more faded one for the 2nd and even lighter for 3rd.. a smokey blue even.

   The other thing that I noticed was the shadows under the text in the top right seem too dark compared to the shadows on the post tags.. I would lighten the shadows up Where it talks about Step into your life... in the logo.

   The layout does look nice, I like how it is arranged. Very good job :)

   I don't mean to be picky, what I mentioned is just my honest opinion. I like what you have, dont get me wrong. Those are just the things I would change if it were me.
