Nice Logo, i must say clean simple and clear. The Menu bar is quite easy to surf but i don't like the white and red color on hover. However i liked your content , the layout and way you have displayed your things but the Footer note is a pain to the eyes as red not looks good on black ( try white or aqua ). Anyways good luck with your blog.


Rating : 7/10
Didn't feel like giving the whole as it lacked some spice.

You posted this on Graphics & Webdesign too so I'll just copy my review from there

It's OK (the design). Some minor changes would make it a bit better.

Navigation menu
- font is too small
- it would look much more fluid without separators (black lines) between menu buttons

Overall layout
Layout should be a little bit wider. Wides screen monitors are becoming more and more popular and imagine your site on 1680x1050 res.

Fonts
I generally recommend people to have font-size bigger the 10px. I mean you have a blog. Blogs are meant to be read and if people have to struggle to do so (people wearing glasses for example) they won't bother coming back.

As I said, it's OK. It's simple, colors are OK (little bit boring but OK ... it's a tech blog, people don't expect it to be colorful :biggrin, everything is in the right place ... almost It's not a big deal but can you put the search box in your navigation menu aligned to right. There's a lot of empty space in the nav menu, why not use it

If you want it to look a bit better try adding some nice RSS icon in your reader. That a nice trick (along with typography) that many designer use to enhance simple blog designs. Here's some nice ones:
