Review my blog, please?

Hey folks!
I'm running a blog dedicated to Linux and openSource over at http://sathyasays.com/ Would love to hear some feedback/comments/criticism from you all.

And yes, I'm a noob when it comes to Web Tech, so any guidance would be really helpful!

Thanks & Cheers!
Sathya

Asking that is very impolite. You must know methods to do a truth check, so do that and THEN you can play around asking this.

@Rohan If you've read the articles properly whichever articles aren't mine, i've given a source, and most of them are incomplete, with the link to the complete article.
Few original articles haven't been written by me, That also has been mentioned either explicitly or in the author tag
@All Thanks for the comments. Welcome further criticism and feedback

I have followed the links. What I meant to ask was have you put YOUR inputs into it.

I know its impolite but cannot help. Is that meaningful if you copy-paste articles and give a link to follow? People should write a 'blog', not a 'short news service'.
If you are discussing some news and refer to it, it would be acceptable.
They should put their inputs if they want the public to get hooked on. People will come back to your blog to hear your opinions and not for finding the latest news. Blogs are great tool if you want to promote your opinions.If its just copy-pasting, does not make a great impression on your visitors, regardless of what theme, color palette, font, etc etc you use. It would just make it a 'cute' webpage at most in that case.


PS: I am speaking only in general terms, not referring to Sathya's or anybody's blog.

Man! why are you taking it to yourself.
It was just that I want bloggers to tell where they have put their inputs. Who has the time to compare blog enteries to find the authors input!

@Rohan, I didn't quite read your reply properly, got what you're trying to get say
