Review wise, you've made blogspot look about as good as blogspot can look.

You might try using some paragraph breaks in your content. Otherwise it looks lifted. You also have some off-topic stuff on the blog that will probably hurt you in the long run.

Hi Speedy,
First thing: You need more contrast on the page.

Right now, everything is blue. A sea of blue. That was an immediate turn off for me personally. Not that I dislike the colour blue, but because it made it difficult for me to read and digest the content on the page. Even your links are a shade of blue.

What you can do is make the post content background white, with black or dark text, and leave the rest of the page as is. This should sharpen it up a bit and make it easier on the eyes, while still emphasizing your adverts and affiliate links.

Second, I say listen to Bobbie's advice above -- insert some paragraph breaks in the content which will make it much easier for a reader to scan. It's intimidating right now to look at a giant block of text that seems to go on forever. (For instance, your Elliot Wave Internation* post was well formatted and laid out.)

Hope that helps,
~ Teli

* I believe Internation should be International. Of course, I could be wrong on that.
