Please review my blog

[CruisingDave]

Okay I've decided to post my blog here for anyone who wants to review it. It's a cruising blog, so if you're into traveling, you might be interested. I guess I'm slowly gaining traffic, still hardly any comments. The header image might not look like it fits because it was originally made for another style. If everyone thinks it fits though, great. Any advice, suggestions, and compliments are appreciated.

Hello Dave
I tried a few times to view your blog, however so far it is not loading up at all.

*edit*
oops sorry, I think my DSL provider was just having fits some where along the lines.

I finally got it loaded
I think your layout is great

Very nice blog - lots of great info for the novice cruisers! I never have been, and was thinking about one.

The site loads nice & quickly as well, and is very easy to read

The colour scheme is perfect for your topic, all crisp and clean and nautical. Just a few tiny suggestions - which of course you should feel free to ignore!

1. I'd be inclined to drop the calendar, since your posts don't rely on being read in sequence and you've already got the archives list in there right below it.

2. As far as possibly, show Entrecard thingies and other ads that are closely related to your topic.

3. Maybe think about breaking your "About this blog" text into a couple of paragraphs, so it doesn't look quite as dense. You've got nice use of whitespace elsewhere, so it would be nice to see it carried through to that sidebar block too.

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated.

I removed the calendar and I separated the about box into two paragraphs.
