I don't really like the fact that the background doesn't fit the whole thing.. it sorta looks weird. And the font seems a little out of place. I like how the text color changes when you scroll over the blog. very cool =]

_ The font needs to be AA'ed, right now it's way too choppy
_ The font doesn't fit the layout. If you had a bamboo background it would make more sense
_ The text area is way too small compared to the bg
_ It's very hard to read the text. I undestand teh font color changes when you hover over it, but it's annoying to be forced to keep my mouse over it the whole time.
_Just another generic layout w/ a bg and a quick imagemap.

Thanks for your comments. Erm yea actually my background doesn't really suit the font. So I changed the background and everything else. Y'all can check out the new template at the same site.

New template

Hope y'all can give further comments and critiques.

_ The navigations buttons are still hard to read and still need to be antialias'ed.
_ There is image quality loss around the word Blog and presumbly all around. Are you doing this in photoshop?
_ Text area should be expanded and set the black bg for the text to white and add an alpha gradient
_ The green you're using for the font is too bright, same goes for the navigation and title's green. You need darker, subtler colors
_ Overall still very plain.
