Is that upper white bar a part of header you design or is just a theme bg?

Do you want logo and header for the site?

I will comment later on the design aspects.

1. The search box looks like out of the theme.
2. The header is too big.
3. The font on headers should not slant/be in italics.
4. Increase the font size in the body.
5. Be careful of the IPR(intellectual property rights)
6. Tag line is not impressive. Remember, for tech blogs, tag line is not a must have. But if you have one, it should not sound larger than like.

The header is just the blue part. Yes, I need a logo & header. Comments on design aspects are welcome :)

1. Out of the theme? Do you mean the search button background? Well it's same as the menu bar.
2. I can reduce the width.
3. Yes. Care to suggest a font?
4. It's 12px. 13 px looks very big to me.
5. Why? Did you find any copyright material? Articles are written by myself & theme is created by myself by taking ideas from various themes. I seriously do not tolerate plagiarism.
6. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rohan :)

What about the images?
Anyways, you cannot put "Copyright" and "Creative commons license" on the same work. Someone may steal your work and still you may be deprived of your credit.

And yea, at 800x600, I can't see anything except that header and subheader links.
Reduce the header height. Width is OK.

Neat design. Simple, and clean interface.

Two suggestions though.

1- Simplifying technology .. That part, seems bit difficult to read

2- Adding water mark - you can add water mark same color as the image (transparent watermark) , it will look nice and still, will act as watermark.

Did I confuse you ? Got what I meant for the watermark part ?

One thing is for sure. I am not going to change the whole design. I've some things in mind. I'll do it when I'll be able to do it in Photoshop. However suggestions regarding tweaking parts of the themes are welcome.



At last some encouragement :D Thanks, Santhosh :)

Thanks Din Sir. :)

1. I'll modify it. I'll change the font soon.

2. You mean the Techies Realm text on images? By watermark I din't quite understand. See the latest post(clean your keyboard). Isn't the text okay?

OK, here is what I meant

*c1hqqq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1psoAPog3H74nVYoP3FWKuWEMQ7yb9NYep5sxQRP8q512-KOXVXJv8hIhjPv12PGO2uMJ9ikIYnL0vlwv5YJrbfw/removingkeys-thumb-new.jpg

Click this link if you can't see the above image - Skydrive Link

(Sorry for using your image, just to show the example. I will remove it from skydrive once you see it )

You can see two copyright texts at bottom - first the transparent one which I meant. It blend with background and all colors.

Second is the one you usually give.

I think first one looks better as it does not overlap anything. But just my suggestion, please feel free to ignore if it does not sound as a good idea.

That's nice, Din Sir! Why are you sorry? You are helping me :)

How did you do that?


P.S.- I would like to thank Manan (iMav) for helping me a lot on Yahoo messenger today. Manan you rock!

Good look. I like it.
I can design logo for you. Let me know the text and size of the logo you want.

Thanks :) It should be sized for the header.
