I'm new here, so be gentle! Joined Yakezie last night with the hopes of learning from everyone, and helping anyone I can. If you caught my join post in the challenger sticky, you know that I am new to blogging.
I have started visiting as many member / challenger blogs as I can, dropping comments, etc. and I have seen some amazing blogs – incredible content, beautiful design and layout, etc. So I am going to ask for your constructive criticism and suggestions about my site. If you get a chance, please take a look and let me know what you think. Any comments or suggestions are welcome about layout, colors, content, technical screw-ups, whatever.
"Give it to me straight, Doc. I can take it."
Thanks you!!! ~JB

Looks good – the one thing that caught my eye is that your advertisement on the right goes beyond the border of your site. Welcome to Yakezie. Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

It takes a long time to build a house into a home. You need to find your voice right now. Get some blogging under your belt and then get the site looking sharp. In a year you might not even remember how your site looked because you grew with your content.

JB, I am personally not a huge fan of that color green, but I believe the choice of a background color is an intensely personal decision. Overall, I like the site design, especially the tabs in the menu. 20s Finances is right, your AdSense block spills outside of the wrapper. Your best bet is probably playing with the CSS to get it 20 or so pixels wider.
Welcome to Yakezie!

Thank you everyone for the feedback – keep it coming!
@Corey – thanks for the heads up on the ad. On my laptop it looks just fine, but on my iphone and ipad it hangs off the edge. I'll get after it.
@Edward – I hear ya. I am not so sure how I feel about the green either. I've gone back and forth on colors and will probably do so about 1000 more times!
@Jai – patience? not my strong suit.
@MoneyIsTheRoot / Michelle – thank you!!
I am off to fix my leaky ad now.

Welcome! I dropped by your site and left a comment.
I particularly like your choice of themes. I don't use that one, but I see it in many blogs and like it each time I do see it.

I think the sidebar is big enough now to accommodate the ad. Let me know if you see anything else.

Here is my comment on your site:
I like the look of your site, easy on the eyes. Font big enough for us old guys to read without squinting. I like your conversational writing style. I think you will do well. Pace yourself it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Just in case it gets eaten by the spam monster.
Good luck!
