Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for the post, but here goes... I've started a blog where I can share my writing, published pieces, backstory to stories I've written and basically just musing over language, mythology and fantasy.

I would like people to go and check it out and tell me what they think about it - :D

http://hersenskim.blogspot.com

The blog is in both English and Afrikaans and the name "hersenskim" roughly means "illusion", "fantasy" or "dream".

Thanks!
Marsh

Cool, Marshwriter! It looks great, and I'm looking forward to reading posts from it in the future. :D

Yes I really like the background too.. Too bad I can't read Afrikaans, though...I'll have to stick to the English parts. :) I'll have to put that on my list of things to do (*writes it down*)

I will definitely do my best to translate everything I post so that it's available in English and Afrikaans :D

Well, from a professional web designer, that blog is officially awesome. It is even in fashion. ;)

Of course if you hired me I could improve upon it tremendously.... he he he.

But other than that, it is better than 98% of google blogs out there.

That said, if you want to go over the top, I would suggest using some cross-browser special font handling (ask me if you need help) and do some unique, cool, readable fonts for the headings.

And it would definitely be astronomically improved if you put a link to HW on there somewhere. Hehehe...

I am following. :)

Cross-browser...huh? Sounds cool, have no idea what it is! :shock:

Thanks for all the good feedback! Any help will be appreciated as I have little idea of what I am doing :D
