A review for ze blog :)
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:
- Different yet interesting title.. It's like your posts are music, which your minds sings to breathe freely!
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
- I like the menu too, with a list of your favorite blogs and about etc.
Where to better:
- 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.
- Calendar can be ditched. Not very useful I think. It's a confusing way to archive.
- There is an RSS widget on WP that'll be very useful for those wishing to bookmark you. You can put that up.
- You can make a page for your blog, and put the like widget on your sidebar.
- 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.
- 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!
