Header:
Seeing your signature says high security freelance services I expected something more professional than charactures.

Would have kept the font to match your logo.

Overall Design:
You used fixed font size that is too small. Using a fluid (adjustable) font size (after you make the initial size bigger) would be more accommodating to all those who visit your site.

Contact information missing.

Points for valid XHTML and CSS coding.

Could be a nice business blog.

The High Security Freelance Services is for the Web site, not the blog to which it's created

Also I'm even now thinking about getting a better theme, simpler and on which everything is clearer and cleaner.

PS : Anything about the first post ?

About first post. Try to add some second level headers, separate content and try to add some lists. You have only few seconds to interest reader. Wall of text will not interest them.

About the header design : it seem good, only you can narrow a little the header links.
The overall Design : it seem really professional.
And you could remove "/index.php" from urls.

About that first post. I don't think of things that Vastlance can do for me. That's what way you wrote it. Instead, change the phrase to "what can Vastlance do for me."

I realize that I changed another word in there. Specifically the "you" for "me." I did that because I really don't care what Vastlance can do for you. I care what it can do for me.

Don't tell me what comes into my mind. I know that. And frankly, that's not what came into my mind when I first came into the site. So you were wrong about that.

The next few lines for me was the end of that paragraph. Here's how I would rewrite your first post.

What is Vastlance and what can Vastlance do for you? Ss you continue reading, we will try to answer these questions to the best of our ability and clarify all your doubts.

Vastlance is an outsourcing website offering great new functions that will able to manage your work better, along with excellent security solutions and essential tools that will prevent anyone from being scammed. You can reap these benefits once you join us either as a freelancer or as a project buyer. Vastlance promises to give you the best work environment with all necessary tools to manage and secure your efforts and make the best of it.
I realize that I left the "you" in there instead of changing it to "me" like I did above. This is because the way I rewrote it you are talking and not narrating what is supposedly going through my head. This way the word you refers to the visitor since the the site is talking, as opposed to you referring to the site since the visitor is talking.

Thank you a lot for that great review !

I revised the first paragraph and changed the "you" by a "me", also the fist line of "what you are thinking about" has been removed.

Thumbs up Review

When i first saw the header i feel like the size of the logo which you have kept is very small,you can increase the logo size and there is much blank space after the logo which will be covered if the size is increased.
And you have used the same menu at the top and bottom of ur blog i think you can remove the bottom one no one may make use of it..if want to keep it you can change the menu items so that u can expose more content of ur site to visitors..
i think you can also add a fb share button to your post so that it will be exposed to the wide fb users..
finally to say you blog design was good..cary on al da best..

Thank you for your comments.
I started by installing the sharing function, let me know if it's enough good
For the top logo, I will make it bigger and for bottom menu, it will show some legal information.

Your site is very simple. I do not like that it all somehow flows together with that gray background. You probably will not like it, but somehow your site do not reach me as a visitor, I am not sure why exactly is that. Maybe changing the theme could help, at the moment, text is so small that it is even hard to read. And you should probably think of using SEO in your blog as well!
