You posted in the right place.

I do kinda like the simplicity of it, but the banner seems low quality to me and plain. Try adding more, but not too much. Just enough so there doesn't seem to be so much white.

Basically what everyone else said. The image is low in quality & not much was done to it. I love that photo shoot & I feel like you could do more with it. But it's not that bad for this being your first layout. Congrats on the opening of your site.

Hm, maybe a nice pattern in the bg. Prob should have more color theme- perhaps rollovers or some new colors in the link.

I agree with what Christy and Abbey said about the banner quality, it's very saturated, I'm not sure if you were trying to create a faux-ambiance to the graphic for your page, of if you wanted everything to blend thoroughly.. The overall page reminds me strikingly as a one column journal-type layout. Not a whole lot you can do there, what about adding a textured background, rather than having a plain color?

P.S. You can use the [+] at the bottom right of each post to enable the multiquote option, after you have selected which posts you want to quote, instead of using the "Fast Reply", use the "Add Reply" to make a new post.

thanks for the advice, the thing is idk how to make a background besides a color on my page.

I pretty much agree with eveyone else. The banner is low quality and it's a pretty common layout. Also, maybe you could try adding rollovers and maybe a texture or some brushes to the banner. It's also a bit plain but I like the simplicity of it.
