A totally cool gathering of news and opinions from around the world.....with a twist

I really like the template you used, I might have to try that one for a blog. You need to be careful with "free" blog templates that you find on the web. They're not always "free," as in you may find some unwanted links or items that came with the template.

Looks like you're fairly well organized in your sidebar, try and keep the widgets related to your blog topic. A few of your widgets don't fit into their slot and have created scrollbars. Many times when you grab the code for your widget they'll have an edit area where you can change width and height of the widget. Another option is to do it manually by editing the html. Be careful and always preview your changes before you save.

There are two widgets in your sidebar that have adsense in them. Both the Travel National Geographic and the News Map contain ads at the bottom. This may be because the creator added their adsense code to the bottom to make money when someone puts it on their blog.

You can find widgets without ads in many places, try spring widgets for some great widgets, they also let you easily adjust the size before you grab the code.

To boost your subscription rates add a subscribe now button at the bottom of each post. Feedburner should be able to help you out with this in their optimize tab. http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home

To help get your blog out there in the social networks use a sharethis button at the bottom of every post. This way people can easily digg, stuble and share your posts.
