I like it! You seem genuinely interested in, and enthusiastic about, your topic. It's good. So don't be offended by the fact that my criticisms are much longer than my praise - what's good generally doesn't need a lot of explanation; what's wrong usually does.

Some small issues:

- Your font size is really big. I know this seems like a trivial concern, but people generally set their monitor resolution so that average type looks right to them, so if yours is larger than average, that's likely to irritate them.

- If you shrink the text, then the white text on a dark background may become an issue - you may want to go with dark text on a light background.

- There are some issues with spelling and grammar in your writing. This isn't a huge deal - it's a personal blog, not a professional one, and your writing is still perfectly clear. But it would probably be worthwhile to slowly weed out the issues.

- The calendar widget seems like unnecessary clutter.

- Having two columns of widgets seems like unnecessary clutter - it would be better to have all your widgets in one column and give your content more width.

- It may be a bit early in your blog's life to have ads.

hey chickenfreak,

I really appreciate your comments. I so have the same oppinion, but i have limited abilities to change certain things. I dont know how to , unless someone enlighten me about that. Im so new to blogging, that i havnt got much idea how to change certain things. I like a light background too!! im so into colours, and i dislike my food blog colour frankly. And i will change the font size!! I know how to do that, also yes i will get rid of the calendar, and i really dont want 2 columns of the side bar too!! you read my mind. But like i said i have no idea how to!! but great thanks for your oppinion.

hey i like your blog! it's very personal, and fun to read
my only suggestion is that, maybe you can have just one sidebar instead of two? and i'd love to see more pictures!

ps: left you a comment too

Very tasty looking blog for sure. I really like the illustrations at the top of your page, I knew exactly what your blog was about right away.

As for problems, I think ChickenFreak hit it on the head, especially with the last few points made. Two columns are definitely in the way of your content, and the calendar is not needed.

UR BLOG is making me a bit hungry...

Purple is an interesting colour.. but I agree with a previous post, two columns on the right hand side isn't all that eye catching. Some grammatical errors. Nice idea for a blog, and I too love pizza~!
