If I had a blog, I'll probably create links to my Last.fm and Flickr accounts. Add categories to that bar on top. If you're a gamer, maybe a Xfire link or a gamercard could go in some place.

Now this is a person who knows things about layouts. Images as he said should be added [mostly center alligned]. Text can be in smaller paras with bold used for important stuff.
I must say that if your text is going to be in grey colour, then all the darker content around it is going to overshadow it. The background is nice and simple and the theme is such that it doesn't draw too much attention to itself, but black font colour would help keeping attention on the content itself.
Even I spent all my time scrolling down just like
pr.itdude. U might even add bullet points and use numbering where necessary. That also helps catch one's eye.
One example... The twitter image on ur swine flu post is good and catches the eye, but nothing happens when i click on it. This would irritate people. Also, if centre alligned, it would be much better.
One more: Social networking post. All i saw was
ME, RF &
Social Networking Paradox.
One last tip : Just below A derivative life and the subtitle, you have tabs. Highlight these by making them darker in colour (and please teach me how to add tabs to my blog) and classify your posts here, i.e. categories. Like : Home>Chelsea>About ME, etc. This also might help. Remember : People don't like to scroll down a lot. If you are interested, you may help me improve my blog too(I'll PM you).
Hope these tips help. I didn't intend to make fun of you or to be rude. Please take it as constructive criticism.
How'z my blog?
