Other than being a-bit obsessive over this BP oil spill, how is the design layout of my site. (Yes I know using a template isn't exactly professional,but I am working on my own code) I just don't want things looking too cluttered, things are too cluttered aren't they? Thanks for the feedback in advanced :)

Edit: Forgot to put a link to my site, unless everyone has seen the men who stare at goats and can now read me mind. lol :) Onward Jedi Soldiers.

In general, the design is pretty good, although I'm not sure how much different it is from the stock template. However, there is a little too much going on down the right hand side and the auto-loading video content could be little frustrating for other users on slow computers: perhaps you could consider moving the live-stream out of the sidebar and into its on dedicated page.
Other than that there isn't a lot wrong, although I keep reading your page url as pirategeek.tk, but that's probably just me :) .

The auto loading video from PBS is only a temp until BP pulls their collective heads out of their butts. As for the pirategeek.tk I wanted to use that but the .com version was taken and when I do generate enough income and if its still available I will register the .com version of theirategeek.tk. Also, all I have on the lower right is my twitter stream and tag cloud, I didn't think about it being cluttered. the name thepirategeek.com (.tk) was for my idea of living about a 42 foot sloop. I wanted to do a blog and project of being the most high tech geek living in the ocean. I am open to suggestion on domain names that can accommodate a weird sea-faring geek. lol :)

I like it :D the gallons leaked thing doesn't really fit with the rest of the site though :/

you might want to put the Title in a box to match up with the rest of your layout.

A place for a geek to vent.

That bit ^ ^ ^

other then that, its a good side, same views as previous posters, its a bit cluttered down the right, id probably slap that on a different page. and again cool it on the google ads, put it in once, not on each post you make lol

Hey,

Looking at the website it is a nice looking desing. The colours are clean and simple and the website is easy to navigate. As for the website being cluttered .... I don't think that the website is cluttered at all.

Peace
