You're advice is most welcome, but I have to disagree on one aspect: the blogroll! Yes, you don't want readers to jump right out, but they won't if they genuinely like your writings. They will read, bookmark you and then value your opinion enough to take your recommendations and visit blogs you've added to your blogroll :) Ahad, thank you for your comment and welcome to WoBM!

KISS (Keep it simple stupid) - Its not easy to develop a clean UI, as simplicity is more complex that one realizes. 2. RETHINK THAT SIDEBAR (Some more points): Think about your blogroll. Do you want people to jump right outta your blog with links to other people sites. Also consider removing your sidebar on your inner pages. 3. USE VALID XHTML/CSS: Very important to your SEO. 4. DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL: If you like a design go with it, better yet buy it if you have to. You can make the necessary tweaks yourself. Lastly, I agree with Alina that planning is the key!! ... Yup that's impressive allright about Alex, BUT having said that there alot of youngings up and coming these days, especially in the Eastern Europe area. Not only are they awesome designers, but they have the server side skills to match!!
