Clean site, well integrated adds, easy categories...

The banner on the top looks cheesy, however - perhaps some type of photo or background could work.

One recommendation - jokes are usually funnier when other people are laughing along. you have an RSS reader - how about putting up a total hits site so people can see how popular you are?

Also really love the bottom line to remind people to click on your adds! I clicked one for you! - very smart! We have nothing whatsoever to do with the ads that appear on this site but please do give your response to this article in the ‘comments’ section belo"

I have to disagree with Freelansir. I think the design is not clean at all. First, the photo of the man on the header looks horrible. The header itself is awful. It has no identity at all. When people think of a website they have in mind the image of its header. The banner between the content and the sidebar should not be there for two reasons: it shrinks the sidebar too much; and there are certain ads designed by dumbasses that think that putting an annoying soung when you pass your mouse cursor over it will increase the clicks number. When visiting a blog you'll want to toggle between the sidebar and the content in order to visit the rest of your site (archive, links, etc), and I personally don't feel very comfortable with the idea of being disturbed with those sounds each time I want to go somewhere in the sidebar.

That's my opinion, I hope it helps. Best wishes for your site dude

I will have to agree with fdansv. The site is lacking quite a lot. Most Indian sites I have been to are bright and fun with lots of colors (especially orange and green). This site looks very dreary and amateurish. You could do a lot with it with a new design.

My suggestion is to fork out some bucks and get yourself a professionally designed theme and slap it on there. It will cost you some money and take you two seconds. Good luck, have fun and good night.

You can find themes here: www.templatemonster.com

Some inspiration may come from Resorts WebDesign. They have great design.

Cheers,

I too think the design is not clean at all.The photo of the man on the header looks really horrible.no identity nthng...And the banner between the content and the sidebar should not be there for two reasons: it shrinks the sidebar too much; Basically this site looks very gloomy and unskilled..You could have done better with a new design.
Anyways Best of Luck for ur website
