Default My first ever blog! Opinions wanted
Hey guys! I made a personal blog and designed the template for it. I wanted to do a clean, simple design using dark colors (I'm going to be showcasing horror stories/dark fiction and it sets the mood) yet some girlie colors too.

What do you guys think?

Design looks nice, very nice indeed

It will help potential traffic if you change the Title bar from <title>antibarbie.net </title> to what the blog is about. i.e <title>Horror Stories</title>

You still have the domain name at the beginning. It won't help. People don't search for your domain name and if they do it will be top on search anyway because it's your domain name.

Yes, but don't a lot of sites include the domain name in the title for branding purposes? I've seen it done with many large and small sites alike.

Okay, fair point. On balance I would say it's not required, but it's a debatable point.

People are more prone to read what's at the left hand side of a page before they do the right, just like a book. I want them to notice my content before anything else (with the exception of the giant RSS button).

Pretty snazzy idea you have there... and you designed it also, hmmmm very nice. Adding some meta tags wouldn't hurt.
