How does it look now? I made some changes to the layout and theme.

http://www.hate-windows.com

Do you like the content?
What about the writing style, should anything be changed?
Are there enough images in the posts?
Any suggestions as to how I can improve the look of my site?

TIA,
Nathan

It looks an awful lot like the default Wordpress theme. You would benefit immensely to find something that looks a little more unique. You can download plenty of free ones here, on wp's site, and really all over the web.

Personally, if I were looking for technical information and read: "No idea what “readericon45G.exe” is. Guess I’ll just have to do some Googling and see if I can’t find the solution to this problem," I'd find a different source. Probably I'm not in your target audience, but I don't read tech info for fun, and I'm not going to put the time in unless the person who wrote the article knows more than I do about the subject, and I can glean some of that for my time.

Look into some of the tech articles on MSDN ... ironic as that might sound. Especially the ones under their best practices, design patterns, and that whole area. That's probably a lot more detail than you want to bore you readers with, but read a few of the articles to see how they deal with IT from a stylistic point of view.

The post about Al Gore ... why? You're asking for a review of your content, writing style, and such, so in answer to that: cheering for a criminal because you have a personal issue with a crime victim is tacky and low class enough that I won't be returning to your site. I'm not the only reader you'll loose, but most of them won't tell you why ... or see your request for a review.

If you have goals for your blog that involve people reading it, you might try not alienating them. My web sites don't have any mention of my political or religious beliefs, or any other third-rail subject. If your blog were about politics that would make sense, but how many people who come to your site because they're frustrated with Windows do you really expect to hate Al Gore, or any other public figure or idea? People always say making content for your users is the first step in online marketing and/or seo; this is why.

Thanks again,

On that note, you might want to look into Process Explorer. If you think your blog might appeal to people who use Windows but don't like it - which is probably a lot of people considering how many companies use Windows throughout - it might be good link bait to write articles about how to deal with some of the O/S's shortcomings?

Your blog contains some insightful information that many could find useful.

Keep the information to technical and geek subjects. That will more likely get you return visitors than mixing Microsoft/Apple bashing with politics. You want visitors to return. If you want to talk about politics, create another blog specifically for that.

With comments like "You would think that “the creator of the Internet” would know how to update his blog…" you will turn off many technical people who would be your intended audience. Most are already going to know that Gore didn't say it like you are claiming. Especially Linux users.

Nice topic, and try to only cover on "anti" window's topic

more Graphic and can get ur reader more impress on your article (e.g. BSOD "Blue Screen of Death")

Edit your theme (header) to something related to Window Bad Impression

I am sure visual+text make it perfect match with the domain. And you can generate more relevant visitors
