Review my Cincinnati Reds Blog

    So I made a blog not associated with my main type of other sites (automotive). However, its about the Reds, and I usually update it everyday night after each game, so I figure thats at least good. Anyways, let me know what you think.

    Thanks,

    Ad placement is good in my opionion. The site is a little too dark in my eyes.

    Just one thing: The footer in its intense red alwas looks kind of misplaced at the bottom. It's always broader than tha longest column above it (at the startpage, there is no content in the right column above the footer, on single view pages its the left column, which has less content). Maybe you should choose something less "agressive" than red as background color, so it looks more natural.

    Did you intend to give the comment links a white color? Almost invisible at my PC.

    Ad colors on the right is not good... it's getting there though. Change your URL colors to black instead of white because the white makes the website url stands out (which makes it obvious that they're ads).

    dark red headlines are pretty hard to read.

    Also, add a google link unit with white links into your header. my uncle has the same template as you and i just gave him the same advice and it looks good on his site, check it out:
