I just finished creating a new theme for my blog and I could use some feedback. Some things I'm concerned about:

Readability
My last theme was fluid. Part of the reason I switched to fixed width is that I thought having 100% width made it a little difficult to read.

General Appearance
I'm a programmer not a designer. I really shouldn't be in charge of designing anything

Glaring Errors
I've done a good amount of testing so I'm fairly confident nothing is completely out of whack, but if something blows up I'd like to know.

My feedback:
The header at the top seems kind of tall. Means I have to start scrolling right away.

The area where the posts are doesn't expand when I re-size my browser window.

Seems like a lot of whitespace on the left.

Otherwise, it's nice and clean. I like it

I can't find any fault with the website whatsoever, Matt. Perfect size text, definitely crystal clear and readable, enough spacing in between the paragraphs, with nice bold text for each explanation. Lot of work, nicely done, great job!

I'll try to come up with something more minimal.

Do you mean the right? When I get a chance I'll try to have the main content wrap around the sidebar.

I would remove the advert but it pays the hosting fees.




Thanks for the feedback

Oh, lol. I installed AdBlocker Plus on my browser, so I completely missed the advert, haha. On a larger screen display resolution, the header ( "Tinsology" & the slogan ) and navigation menu links looks a bit "off".

Other than that, the design looks good.

My mistake, the only thing that looked different in the image was that the ad was gone.

I'm not seeing an issue with the header. Maybe it's just not so clear in that small of a screenshot?
