I really don't know why I never made this post before...

Anyways, I love good criticisms on my work and I don't mind you being brutally honest as long as you reason well. 

Thanks for your time. Much love!

OK.. Here goes a review...

Positives: 

  1. Different yet interesting title.. It's like your posts are music, which your minds sings to breathe freely!
  2. Lovely photographs: The camera and the artist shines through quite nicely in the posts. One of my favorite photographers, since your photos have been my muse on more than one occasion!
  3. Personal tone to the posts: you are writing in your style, to bring out your essence to the readers rather than looking to imitate what might attract the reader.
  4. The header incites a feeling that we're traveling with you on your journey. Interesting one, and I assume, it's one of your photos? Lovely stony background too.. very soothing!
  5. I like the menu too, with a list of your favorite blogs and about etc.

Where to better:

  1. This is of course a personal choice, but I think a light background with darker fonts would be much more soothing to the eye. And bring out your words much more.
  2. Calendar can be ditched. Not very useful I think. It's a confusing way to archive.
  3. There is an RSS widget on WP that'll be very useful for those wishing to bookmark you. You can put that up.
  4. You can make a page for your blog, and put the like widget on your sidebar.
  5. Archive is okay as list for now, but in a few months, you could change to the drop down since it'll hog the sidebar space.
  6. The Search and the Copyright thingy is repeated twice, once in sidebar and another in bottom lower bar. Remove one :)

Thats all for now :)

Firstly thanks so much Vinay :) Your reviews are always fantastic to read.

About the positives...wow! Slightly overwhelmed! Yes the header is a picture I took.

About where to better

1.  You mean for the writing space? I have had a white writing background for so long, that I longed for something dark.  The I do change my blog's background (the stony one right now) once in a while.

2. Ok shall be done. Any widget that should be added in its place? Other than the like one.

3. Now that you say, why haven't I already done that, stupid me!

4. Facebook page you mean? Hmm. Ok.

5. Shall be done.

6. I am thinking of removing the bottom lower bar ones since it is less noticeable.

THANK YOU so frickin much :) And anything else you need to add, please do!
