Personal thoughts, opinions and comments of an independent consultant, political analyst and historian, who lives in Ireland but is aware of the whole world.Your blog takes a little while to load, you may want to consider shortening the front page. You can show three or four posts on the front page, then your readers will navigate through your archives. The main reason for this is load time but there are many other reasons as well.
If you were to add a links gadget in your sidebar with your most popular posts you could show less posts on the front page and still bring more readers in. There's just to much content to digest on the front page.
The banner is very nice, but I would crop it. You want to show more of your blog content immediately to the visitor - so they can find something that interests them.
¤ I have actually never scrolled down past your image at the top of the page while visiting via BlogExplosion.
You've got lots of widgets and stuff in the sidebar, while it is great and many readers will contect and use some of them - you should keep it to just the necessary items.
You've got the Email subscription option which is great but you'll want to place an RSS subscription option at the top of your page as well - this will bring in many quality readers.
There are some huge chunks of text in the sidebar, try to break it up with paragraphs or consolidate and summarize.
