I`m from Jamaica, I`m trying to start out in the web world. Please tell me what you think of my blog http://promoteopensource.blogspot.com

I`m into computer and open source. Please tell me what you think, also when ever you find something you dislike please provide suggestions as to how I could make it better.

Thanks.

Hi JuniorRoss :-)
I took a look, and the blog looks fine. I`m not particularly interested in Open Source, but the articles looked decent, the writing style is smooth, and the headlines are definitely working.

What I`d do is put some sort of tagline to the right of "Ajar," something that sums up the overall "concept" of the blog. Don`t use this example, I`m just making it up on the spot, but something like, "Ajar  -- Thoughts on making money with Open Source."

The point is that you`ve got all this nice white space up there at the top, and you could use it to summarize your overall attitude, thinking process, and why you put the blog together in the first place. Y`know? :-)

I did a search on Nvu, and got no results. :-D Hey...! Waddya....prejudiced? Nah, just kidding. I like it, and it`s a great little free Web editor. However, the search ran really fast!

I`m curious....what are you using to create the blog?

Looks like blogger.com

Hey thanks  CraigL, I use blogger but with another template I found online. What you said about putting something to the write of "Ajar" perfect, I just never thought of that.
Thanks again.

I like your blog, juniorross.  Nice, clean template and good articles.  You should try submitting it to some blog directories and places like DMOZ.org.  You may also consider adding a description under your blog`s name.  In your description, I would recommend including some keywords that relate to what you write about, i.e., Open Source, Free, Software, etc., for search engines to pick up on. 

Thanks  CommanderK, I`ll do just that. I`m loving the support guys. I wish to make something work, cause this economy is really bad.
