Just a couple of things. For me when I go to your blog, the sidebar is at the bottom of the page and the google ads box at the top does not work.

But other than that, great blog simple, clear and easy to read.

p.s love the pics.

Your browser could have something to do with it. Which version of what browser are you using?

Its about my life as a college student and my day to day adventures.

If you have any suggestions for the layout please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Thank you,
Ryan

Interesting. However, the striped header turning into a triangle background just didn't work for me. The stripes seem to eat up your nice header image.

I wonder if you tuned the background to #F5EFD5 color and just went with the great header logo if that wouldn't be more pleasing ... well, it would satisfy me, but I don't count if others like it the way it currently is.

Did enjoy reading your first post though, pretty good spin on the previous occupier of the room!

There are a couple million Starbucks Gold Cards in circulation now - It's true and Ryan said, just register your gift card, load money on to it, and use it. By the way, once you get to the "gold level" you will get ALL the perks of being Gold on ANY card that is registered to your account and loaded with money. You don't have to switch to the shiny gold card, and using the shiny gold card doesn't get you anything extra.

Ryan, your blog is well-written. Your grammar is very good, and you do a good job of writing with a nice tongue-in-cheek tone of voice to keep people interested in your content. I love the photo of the Starbucks to-go cup next to the computer!

Your blog is well on its way. You've got real content. You've kept it super clean and easy on the eyes, and not loaded up with silly widgets. Your social bookmarking widget is perfect. Keep up the good work!

Nice site design. Did you do this yourself?

Yes, I agree. Keep up the good work.

Thank you CammiMadison! Well, I based the template off of a template from NodeThirtyThree and modified it to my liking.

Thank you for the feedback, I will consider possibly a cleaner transition.
