My blog design

I know it has problems so far as being coded, and it shouldn't be all images in the nav.

I'm getting that fixed now as far as getting it to where it can be coded and just the nav.

So far I like it, any opinions?

I hired my friend who has a really nice unique style and so far I love it .

Bayreuth Font doesnt look the greatest with the other Serif Font. Don't like the massive overuse of the same pattern, otherwise its an okay design. Some of the strokes used are a little much as well.

looking nice and 'strong' so far, but i am not liking the navigation.

Seems a bit too graphical for a blog design for my liking, i'd simplify it.

Its alright but the navigation text is a little hard to read. It does look pretty strong like northpark said.

Im having the navigation re-done, taking the pattern off and actually having text and just graphical headlines.

Im also gonna try to make the blog post box a bit less graphical, and some edits to my text.

I personally like it, Imma tell my designer to play around more with it though .

Thanks for the comments.
