Question New Weblog - Opinions Please

So i finally got off my butt, and designed a blog properly (i hope) can you all check it out and let me know what you think - its more for interest and see what comes out of it - not for a full time business... i love the classy looking blogs and websites - but they really are not me... please be as honest as you like - i am always looking at waves to improve..

Anyhow here it is

Dravens Halo

Susan,
I wandered over & took a quick look as it's after 1:00 AM here in Texas.....Your blog is definitely YOU! I think that's critical... I instantly felt your style and and warmth. I think it's important to have a blog that reflects you as you wish to be seen. As such we all do not fit the same mold. You have clearly crafted your own space in a way that I think is true to who you are.
Congrats! I look forward to following your work!

Cheers!
John

Very nice site. The only thing that was distracting was the banner on top. Your logo was not smooth around the letters. It looks like it was a small image that was stretched out to fit the area. Other than that I loved it.

I think the site shows off a nice selection of diverse work. It definitely speaks of style, which is one important thing you want a portfolio to show.

And yes, they logo at the top looks a little pixelated, is there any way you can fix that?

Hi Susan. I love the look of your blog. Gorgeous pictures.
However, on the link to your Flikr page I'm getting a 404 error.
I agree that the logo at the top of the page looks a bit off.
And also I feel there should be an apostrophe in Draven's Halo. But that just me.

Over all, it looks great. I've bookmarked your site to keep an eye on developments, so to speak.

Thank you for the absolutely wonderful comment John, i was actually really worried about posting up the link since my blog seems to be completely different to the standard around here, so i greatly appreciate your comment !!!!

Hi Dibble, Hmmm - i cant see it like that on my work computer or my home computer - and i uploaded it to the pixel size... although it may be because i did it in mspaint on my work computer - i might re-do it in paint shop pro and see how that goes... Thank you for the feedback though - i will fix it and i might get you to check it again for me.

Hi ShantDotMe – try it again – I am not sure if this error is a slow response from my server or your internet connection, but I am pretty sure its one of them!!!
