Thanks man, I am sure you will come up with somehting nice for your blog. Sure Man, Here are some suggestions: You have really nice theme that you've started with - has a pixel perfect design. <b>*</b>My first suggestion is 'Brand Re-enforcement'. Your logo - needs to be redone. I can't really explain Branding in just one comment, but I guess these articles will be helpful: 1. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/25/10-common-mistakes-in-logo-design 2. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/30/60-beautiful-logo-design-tutorials-and-resources/ 3. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/09/beautiful-and-creative-logo-designs-for-your-inspiration/ <b>*</b>You can use a 'serif' font for headlines - to make them stand out. I will suggest Georgia (bold) or Rockwell. <b>*</b> Last but not the least, do you really need that JavaScript heavy menu bar type thing at bottom of your page? Try and do a poll to ask your readers if they find it useful. These are just suggestions. So lemme know.

Hey Deepak!
Thanks man, I am sure you will come up with somehting nice for your blog.

Sure Man, Here are some suggestions:
You have really nice theme that you’ve started with — has a pixel perfect design.

*My first suggestion is ‘Brand Re-enforcement’. Your logo — needs to be redone. I can’t really explain Branding in just one comment, but I guess these articles will be helpful:
1. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/25/10-common-mistakes-in-logo-design
2. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/30/60-beautiful-logo-design-tutorials-and-resources/
3. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/09/beautiful-and-creative-logo-designs-for-your-inspiration/

*You can use a ‘serif’ font for headlines — to make them stand out. I will suggest Georgia (bold) or Rockwell.

* Last but not the least, do you really need that JavaScript heavy menu bar type thing at bottom of your page? Try and do a poll to ask your readers if they find it useful.

These are just suggestions. So lemme know.

Rock on!
