Contest Details:-
Blogger Noob is a make money blog with a freaky baby image in its header. Catchy, but I feel that the text fonts in the header spoil the overall effect. The header is very important to a blog - since it is a money-making blog, I think it would be more convincing if he showed that he could afford to spend on a nice header. I also noticed that he does not have an explicit link to subscribe to his feeds through a reader. You can do so by clicking on the feed counter but a separate link would make this clearer. It may be good to state the obvious when dealing with visitors not familiar with the RSS system. Finally, while he does give periodical updates on his income status (important for the credibility of a make money blog), why not put the statistics in the sidebar so it is easily visible? The impact would be much stronger and would save visitors some time in searching for the information (they may leave if they can’t find it).
