The staff of the site can't really find any problems with the layout, atm. But I figure their point of view is likely to be biased, so I decided to post here to see what you all think. Please provide a little constructive critisism for the site, and its design.
Thanks. :)
nice interface, nice design. Did you make this site, it is quite large and good for a blog. Even though I don't really care for most blogs, this blog has enough content to make it interesting. As for downsides, it may be a little to big, broad. Maybe a focus would be a good idea, but with that volume of content you probably need not worry.
I really like it, a bit different from most blog sites.
However, I would try and make the date have a bit more of a gap with the first headline. Might unclutter it a little more.
The light blue and light grey on a white background in the bottom half of the page are quite hard to read. The blue and green at the top dont quite seem to match, looks a bit garish. All IMHO.
Have you just bought the site or something?
Nice :) I would increase spacing between blocks of text a bit more - right now it seems a bit bunched up.

The design is good. You just need to re-arrange the text a little bit.
Hi, actually this site has been around since mid-November, and the idea finally hit (yeah, I'm slow ;)) to put it up for review.
The backend of the site was done by Nathan Wong, along with the idea for the site as well. I just did the design, and like to hear objective views about my designs, so that's why I posted this thread. Oh, we both also help run it along with a 2-3 person staff.
Thanks everybody, I think I understand what you're all saying: less brightness, more spacing, easier readability.
