Hello, I'd like some feedback on v5 of http://www.adarktree.com, a personal blog/portfolio. I always have trouble evaluating my sites... Thanks in advance!

Loads of text. Doesn't look very inviting - and I got finger ache from so much scrollwheel action.

Could do with being broken up better I think. Sub-sections maybe? Some images or graphics would be nice too.

I like the header though. And minmalism is good but within reason.

not much to comment on design-wise, its a layout thing really isn't it, and its a standard blog template, just in black and white. what's with the cross hairs on the mouse - i don't get that.

i read 'Something old' and decided to stop there, there's not even any hidden meaning to that, its just a load of nonsensical random bullshit, reminds me of a guy i went to school with who would spend his days poking blades of grass up his nose is search of nirvana.

The rythm reminds we of an open well, of evening due, merrrily merrily I debunk with extremity.

Wallflower, wallflower, do not be the last, get thee to the home of thine own ramekin.

Sliding through and over, we look back and dispose of that which was and always, always flying.

Grind it up and mill it out forever and a day.

Lose no sleep over my harsh barrel.

Pumping jetting white a sticky hand I sigh.

Thanks, Stickman, for the suggestions. The rest of the comments weren't very helpful...

helena · 09-02-2006, 01:26

Just updated. Let me know what you think.

interesting but not lol. No colour, images, to direct the site, fixed widths so doesn't resize with my window. logo up top is lonely, wheres a tree above it lol? Navigation is annoyingish. Why isn't there any padding at the bottom borders?

it still feels too minimal for me , but seems more usable.
