Default Couple of tips to improve your blog

I would maybe add a light background color just to add some slight depth to your site. this will also help to seperate your left navigation from the content area.

For the top banner, (deep red with images of chocolates) i would add some decriptive or selling text as at the minute the banner is very bland and is not adding much to your site.

The site load time seemed a bit slow. This could be down to my internet as it is very inconsistent with its speed, however you can get an accurate report from this website SiteReportCard: Web Site Optimization and Promotion Tools - this will give you an accurate reading of your download times, meta links, search engine inclusion etc - a very good resource.

Other than those little things i really like your blog

Good advice Paul.

Also you need a line break after each paragraph. Not sure why all the content in the body runs together, but it makes it look like one long never ending paragraph.

Otherwise, looks good!

Do you think I can edit articles to put lines by myself in Blogger?

I would create a bunch more posts to show up on the main page...change the color on your Adsense to more closely match the general "brownish" them...and test the 300x250 size of Adsense block under your header against what you have now to see which performs best.

I really like your site and think that you have done a very good job. I would suggest that maybe you should think about the placement of your google ads. The reason for this is because at the moment when your site loads, there is a long way to scrol down until the visitor actually sees any content.

Also I think that maybe the navigation could have a background colour so that it seperates the main content and makes it easier on the eye.

I hope those couple of pointers are of help to you and good luck with your site
