I'm not sure I want to admit it out loud, but I think this is the kind of site that I might find irresistible.

If you can keep up with fresh input on a regular basis you just may be the next internet millionaire.

I love it. You'll get a lot of visitors just because of your domain name - very catchy. I'm not too crazy about the color though, but I think its just because i'm not a big fan of green. Like James said, just post regularly and you'll be sure to have lots of regular visitors. After you have about 10 to 20 posts, definitely submit your blog to blogcatalog, technorati, and stumbleupon.

These are better reviews than I could have imagined! O:

I might consider at least toning the green down ^-^;

Hopefully I will post once a week at least, more if something comes up in the news.

LOL.

I think it's great! Good job, Augenauf.

I noticed a few spelling mistakes, though. I am sure you will catch them when you re-read your posts.

I subscribed to the RSS feed

Keep 'em coming!

Oh, that's a good idea. I didn't really bother to proof it. Calling other people stupid loses the sting when you don't spell it right xD

I got a subscriber already? Yay!

Great site buddy and two posts already!! I also shall subscribe, maybe put a fancy rss button on your site that would be make it look real cool.

OMG, this is incredibly clever. The pills and all. LOL Looks like you developed a winner augenauf.

Wow! You guys have really given me reason to be optomistic! =D

Great Job! The main thing that I would consider is getting a top level domain name and installing bloging software. It would give you a lot more control over your site.

I second that.

Oh, I suppose I agree with you, but I don't really know anything about how to post blogs without blogger ;-; In fact I just recently figured blogger out xD

Well if you ever decide to switch it's not that hard if you have a host with cPanel installed (hostgator and many others for example). If you understand the basics of FTP-ing then managing a wordpress blog is easy. The reason I recommend basic FTP knowledge is because that's the best way to install the plugins. For example I just installed a neat little stat package and I had to upload the files to my server.

Other than that, posting new posts is just like Blogger. There's a control panel with a WYSIWYG editor and you can move things around on your blog with widgets. But if you're comfy with Blogger, stick with it. I still think WordPress is best for the long-haul, though. JMO.

Oh! I know how to FTP, that's easy.
