My personal finance blog - redesigned

[jlmcclellan]

Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted but I just recently finished redesigning my blog and I wanted to get some opinions on it. Please let me know what you think and if you like what you read don't forget to comment/give me credit by subscribing to my feed and/or DIGGing or StumbleUpon-ing my stuff! Thanks!

Debit Versus Credit

Not a bad layout, I like how everything is separated. I personally like the content in the middle in a 3 column layout, but that's just my preference. I like the color scheme and overall feel of the layout. The banner is well done as well.

Right now your actual posts extend past your extra things in your other 2 columns. You could really even make it a 2 column blog and have the stuff on the right side just under the other stuff and it would probably even out at the bottom...right now there is a lot of wasted space on the bottom right side. One more thing: I would try and edit that tag cloud...currently the personal finance passes over a divider and makes it look sloppy...try editing the max size of the tag cloud.

Hopefully I helped out a bit. Have a good one

I don't know too much about this topic, but I like the way you've condensed complicated matters into something easy for someone like me to understand, and really think about.

Kalinae - thank you for your comments and your opinions! I am personally not a fan of content being inbetween columns, so that's why I decided to go ahead and have the content on the left and the 2 side columns on the right. I appreciate your honesty and opinion though. Thank you for the advice about possibly switching to two columns instead of three... I will keep that in mind, but honestly I'd like to just extend the length of the side columns so they aren't so short. I'm keeping my eyes open for some great sidebar widgets - not to mention I'll eventually put ads back up.

Also I edited the tag cloud options, so hopefully that'll fix right up.

MaryAJ - thank you so much for the compliment! I'm so glad that is how you feel about my content because that's exactly what I'm shooting for. Please feel free to subscribe to my feed or share my site with your friends. I appreciate it!

Keep 'em coming!

Alright... off-topic post aside, can I get some more opinions?

Thank you Pinyo... upon your suggestion I increased the small font size in the tag cloud. I also removed the meta section.

I like your blog. I'd probably be perfectly ok with adding you to my blogroll!

Would you return the favor? ;-)
