    I must have to admit that you have taken a good start, nice theme, nice social bookmarking links.

    Great start, you just have to fix a few misspellings and grammatical errors on some posts. ;) Good luck!

    your colours are good but i think your ads are too small.

    using bigger ads units may help you to earn more

    I (with Firefox on Mac OSX) have a Recent Reader box stuck over the top left portion of the content.

    I disagree with bigger ads, you blended them nicely. I would suggest toying with referrals and link units in addition to what's there. Maybe use link units in the articles and adsense up top or something. Definitely room for something on the sides.

    thanks for the tips all of you'z. I moved my 'recent readers' box up and to the right so that works much better.

    Are there any other USEFULL sidebar's that are good to have? I've got lotsa room, but yes only more usefull sidebar things..

    Thanks,

    The theme is very nice but the way Google ads are placed it looks awkward. Use large rectangle in the middle and bring the sidebar ads up so that people can see them.

    Check this sarvpriya.com
    If you like it, change it.

    If you don't want to add more ads of different types going down the page, why not show less posts on the front, so people go to a new page with ads visible? I think it's too much scrolling anyway. Please don't listen to "where are large rectangles", the clean look is a good thing. Maybe you could add some related news feeds (RSS) on the sides. Blogger has a module for that.
