Default My blog's template

Hi!

I'm looking for some advices about my latest creation.

--> http://egonomia.free.fr/

My goal was to work on a dark background while keeping everything as clean as possible.

The problem is that I'm so used to see this template I don't any longer have the capacity to step back and be objective... I know something is wrong but just can't say what. Colors? Sidebar? Logo? Menu?

To tell you the truth, I found this template to be a little bit too minimalist. Nothing really catchy.

What do you think about it? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

PS : I know, I know, code is not valid... Yet. I'm concentrating on the appearance right now. I'll clean up the code later on.

I like it, its very clean and easy to navigate, and the colors are comforting. Nice work :)

This bothers me about using other people's templates:

This is the reason why I've added a PS...

I find it waaay harder to work on validating later, as opposed to making it work as you go along! I don't understand when people say "Oh I know it doesn't validate, I'll work on that later".
And I'm way more into design than coding! I feel my design would be let down if it didn't validate, thats just my opinion :P
It's like dating someone who's really beautiful, but as thick as s**t!

I think the site looks great :D

Oi! Depends on the bloke!

As for the site, other than "yes you should validate it" I like it. It is very clean and nice to use. Personally I don't think you need to change anything.
