Thank you Syed for the review. Keeping your suggestions in mind, I have made major changes to the sidebar. Tell me if you like it now. The pagination on the ‘best posts’ is empty because it does not exceed the first page. As more posts come by, it will flow onto the second page.

My blog has evolved due to your tips over the past few months. As you can see the design is highly influenced by your prev posts. Thanks again.

Actually I use _blank for links within my post (most of the times) because I don’t want people to leave the content they are reading. In all other places I don’t use it.

Yes I have cut down on a few ads. Glad you find my posts of value

I liked the blog. It did have some advertisements but I didn’t feel that it was too crowded. I think the design is unique and looked good, IMO.

I would turn that fixed background into a scrolling one. The fixed he uses makes ads and videos “shake” up and down when you scroll the page. And the pattern it uses almost gets you blind after a couple of minutes .

Another thing I’d like to say is that Angad could use some if/else logic on the homepage sidebar. you see, the homepage far right sidebar shows recent posts, whereas one can view them in the main content area anyways, on the homepage. Angad could use that space in the sidebar to show something different
