    Post Simple Blog Site

    I created my blog with an "easy on the eyes" approach yet very clean and professional looking. If you don't mind letting me know what you think of the site that would be absolutely awesome of you. I will also critique your site as well if you would like.

    I like it. Very simple, for sure, but in an "easy on the eyes" way, as you put it. No real critiques that I can think of at the moment.

    Have you considered adding some more space between images and text? 5-10px perhaps. Let CSS3 shine some more. A bit squeezed right now.

    Could try this

    HTML Code:
    img.alignleft {margin: 0 20px 10px 0 !important;}
    img.alignright {margin: 15px 0 10px 10px !important;}
    which only has changed numbers for existing code.

    Numbers are in this order http://www.htmldog.com/reference/cssproperties/margin/ Nice to know when fiddling.

    This should actually only go for images in content since you might use img.alignleft/right elsewhere - and there you dont want extra margins.

    Not sure you need to but to fix that I think you can add either of these

    .entry-content
    #content
    #content p

    before img.alignleft or right, example: #content img.alignright

    That got complicated fast, heh but you get the idea? Isolate extra padding/margin to where it is needed - if that is a problem, probably is not!

    Eric,

    I am consider upgrading to the Developer edition and then joining your "Become a Contributor" area. Seems very interesting and unique.
