 * I would like your f**irst** impression when visiting my blog. As they say, “first
   impressions are lasting impressions.”

 * The background is distracting, it competes with the writing. If I were you I’d
   move all the info up closer to the top of the page.

 * My personal preference is for something a lot less busy. Let your content do 
   the work, not all the widgets on the first page. Dan Derrick

 * Your main content seems too far down on the page, although I do like the design.
 * Also, the comments you have on that top article all appear to be spammy links.
   This doesn’t look good professionally and probably won’t help you with the search
   engines.

 * I find your website fresh and delightful! The theme tells a story, which is appropriate
   for a writer. The focus on the datebook, with cappuccino at hand, gives it a 
   personal and thoughtful “what’s on my mind this morning” look and feel, perfect
   for the wide assortment of subject matter. I love the pen search box, perfectly
   brilliant and such a fun idea. Your design really adds some variety and sets 
   itself apart from the usual “safe and clean” minimalist approach that’s so common
   now. Thanks for sharing!

 * I like the search too – but I only noticed it when kalibahlu pointed it out! 
   Very clever, but maybe it doesn’t stand out enough.

 * Looks quite ok, may be a bit old fashioned, like webdesign from 2005. But this
   depends on who your clients are what target group you’re addressing?
    A slideshow
   and a video clip might provide more features for convincing prospective clients
   to chose you for the job.

 * About the search pen, I think if it stood out any more, it might lose it’s delightful
   element of surprise and risk looking kitsch. I think it’s fine as is, because
   when people want to search, the first place you look for a search bar is in the
   upper right, and it says “Search” in it. AMPSound, I think if you wanted to search,
   you would have spotted it immediately 😉

 * Hmm, to me, it feels like any other basic wordpress theme. It’s alright.. and
   most other people probably wouldn’t notice that, but I think it’s because I’m
   familiar with all of the free themes they have out there.
