I have just started a new blog and I would appreciate some unbiased feedback on it. Thanks!!

Its well put together, but I read your blog about the decision on gay marriage and I have to say that I disagree with your stand using the term "marriage". Basically implying that a same-sex couple can be joined in some kind of union where they vow their love and commitment to each other, but that the union cannot be called marriage isn't much better than not allowing same-sex marriages at all. The best analogy that I can think of for this kind of situation is as follows:

As everyone knows, the Olympic games are one of the most widely watched athletic events in the world, but there is a separation in the games based on physical abilities. So, because of this we have the "regular" Olympics and the "special" Olympics. Unfortunately, due to the perception of many individuals in society, the special Olympics are seen as less relevant than the "regular" Olympic games and are not perceived as being on the same level. So, with your stance on the gay marriage issue and not feeling that the union between a same-sex couple should be called marriage, you're turning same sex unions into the special Olympics of weddings. Its just insulting and makes gay men and women second class citizens.

However, the blog itself is very well set up and nicely organized. Some of the entries are a little bit short though. Keep up the good work :)
 
I like it, it's quite thoughtful, but you can put in more ideas and explain them a bit more
 
Looking good so far.

Not sure if it was my IE bowser but some of the tables were off. On ours, http://opencubicle.net the tables and ads line right up correctly.

A little tweaking on your template and you'll be okay.
 
I sort of like it. I think the fonts at the top needs to be smaller. Keep the hand/finger the same size. Don't use fancy fonts, use bold fonts. A great font for that is "Impact" you can get it free by goggling it.

The "Opinions are like..." needs to be in italics and on the right... remove the brackets.

To be honest with you... you can make the hand/finger 3 or 4 times larger. Stuff like that are about impact and it would work even if cropped... you are looking for the "idea" and not just clarity of what it is. In that particular image it will get grainy when you make it larger unless you have a big original. Also dither around the edges of the hand... iow, blur the edges of the hand slightly into the background of the white.

Use a different counter style... it should be subtle. Keep in mind that everything that is not subtle takes away from your impact items.

Keep in mind that you can put "tables inside of tables"... if you don't understand that HTML stuff, don't worry... if you do, that is the key to placing things where you want them. It is all about tables and tables inside of tables.
