Hey papuccino,

Is any of the layout/Graphics etc.. done by yourself or is it just the template you have chosen you want us to give feedback on?

100% template by Webs.com (or the designer they hired to make it). I just want to know if it's easy on the eyes and if the theme matches the type of website it is.

Are the blog posts easy to read or should I make the font bigger?

My first impressions is it's a bit dull, maybe try adding something more to the header an image or just the text in an more attractive font.

I'm guessing the ad is mandatory but are you able to decide the position of it?

I'm using AdBlock Plus. Hm... this kinda sucks because I know most people don't use it.

What do you recommend?

So are you saying the Ad is mandatory and you dont have any say on position?

I've never heard of ad block but i'm guessing it just stops ads being displayed when you visit sites correct?

bytehost6 offers ad free web hosting... try and google 'free web hosting' there are a few out there... If you want a portfolio site you might be better off buying a domain name and paying for hosting. I'm getting mine for about $120US a year, that is hosting and the domain name. I believe there are cheaper hosting companies. Might want to check the appropriate forum here at DIC, I'm sure others will have good feedback.

I use hostmonster. I researched a lot before getting it and it had a high user rating from people and I dig it so far.
