joen05 - Thank you for the comments.

How would I go about moving the sidebars together? Not too great with php yet ;o)

Hey Phil,

Not to great with it myself, but from what I know, your stylesheet should load from left to right.

Try finding somewhere in your theme where it says:

<div id="sidebar1"> ~~~~ all the stuff in that sidebar ~~~~ </div>

and moving it after the main part of your page, ie. the content.

I think that might look something like...

<div id="content"> ~~~~~~ </div>

Your second sidebar (on the right) should be right after the content section, so you can grab your first sidebar, and place it before your second sidebar in your index.php file. I may be wrong, but I think that's what you need to do if you want to do that. Like I said, just a suggestion though! :-) Keep up the hard work!

Check in your index.php file first. The CSS file is mainly just for spacing, fonts, colors, sizing, etc. Your index.php file is what should determine WHERE it shows, just not how it looks (thats the CSS).

As for positioning, I'm more of a fan of the sidebars on the right. That being said, I've had them on both sides (like you do) and on the left side as well. It's all up to your preference! Right now I have them on the right on my site, Intermission at Work.

Talking about making your site's popularity and ranking, you have to always see to it that its always updated and try submitting your link on a high PR sites like directories, social bookmarking and lastly I heard that using google's search will decrease your blog's popularity.

Yeah. Break up the content with pictures more. The content is pretty good but I think you could do better with the look of the blog.

I prefer two column layouts and don't like white on black writing much.

Hey you tricked me with the words in your top graphic, I went to click on them like they were pages but it was just the graphic and it got me back to the main page. Also when I clicked on Home it took me off your blog to another site, could you may want to word it differently. Other than that your blog looks nice, perhaps you need some more side content to match the length of your main content on the page.
