A Review of New concept for my blog Nerd Business by Nate Hamilton

Your text feels a bit tight in the design. I would loosen things up by adding some padding. The logo is far too large, I would reduce the size by 50% at least possibly more. The black stroke looks like a harsh drop shadow but then you also have a drop shadow on the right. Get rid of one or change the color of the black to something else.I like your colors and the basic layout. One could argue that you need a to add some interest to your post with pictures or some sort of text treatment. The right column ads are definitely screaming the loudest in this design, not sure if you want that or not. Good overall start, keep moving in the same direction.
