Nav Bar
Doesn't look like one. All I see is one long word

Try a | or bullet point separating each word, different colours or tabs or something

Home Page Items
Are you sure you want to report full articles on the home page? Would be better to have a brief summary with a 'read more', or 'full article' link to a separate page.

This will make the articles more attractive on the home page and give you better SEO.

Rest looks nice.

Well, It's just another blog site. There is NOTHING that separates your website from others.

The font is ridiculously tiny. I shouldn't need to lean into my screen to read your blog posts. As far as design...it's a blog. There's no innovation here going on whatsoever. You have a color scheme to work with - expand it. Put real time and effort into uniqueness and branding. (Take the reflection out of the logo. Rule of thumb - if it isn't shiny in real life, it doesn't reflect!)

Copy and paste the above for my comments on your forum. Except you can replace 'it's a blog' with 'it's a forum.'

If this is your first design, I have some resources that can help you get on track. Especially if it's for WordPress.

Hi Florida, I had a quick look at your site, its good you made the effort to make your own theme for wordpress, and the wordpress install seems to work ok. You might have trouble getting any search rank as you have no meta tags in your page, also the appearance is a bit bright, you could tone down the colors a bit. good luck with it .
