Totally new to blogging

I was just hoping that some of you more seasoned veterans might have some suggestions for me. It's a non monetized blog that features my horror fiction, dark poetry and personal views.

Thanks in advance,

Dawn, what a nice way to start out blogging! Good job on layout, design, content, and style. Added to my feed reader. A couple of constructive comments: One, remove your email address off of your "About" page because it just makes you a sitting duck for spammers; they'll harvest that off that page and it'll be UGH soon enough. I would also remove the "Meta" section of your sidebar; that's useful for YOU as the owner, but not for anyone else, leaving it there looks amateurish and invites someone to try to break into your blog admin page.

Otherwise, good stuff. One of the best I've seen.

I like your blog and your thought. I leave 1 comment to your latest post. I like that you don't have nofollow on comments

Great looking layout and awesome header. Looks very professional and congrats on such a blog for a first try. Did you design the header yourself? Also I see no archives so when did this blog first start?

For someone so new to blogging that is a very nice design. The cleverly positioned pictures really set it off.

Thanks guys. I am glad you all like it! Yes, the header is my own design and I started blogging on the 24th of September.
