What's wrong the design? Please elaborate? colors too dark? boring? not enough links?

It's about as interesting as the Book review on CSpan. It's just too plain and uninteresting.

So lively colors would make you a happy camper or a total redesign?
 
Ok, I looked and would still give it a 1. That isn't a blog. That's a single page.

I'm confused just looking at it. The colors don't flow well together. There doesn't seem to be an intuitive menu. I don't want to look at just 1 image at a time with no comments or anything. If you're doing a blog, set it up where you see all the days at once and either keep all the pictures in the posts or remotely link to them. Work on the pictures at the bottom as well.

You should probably consider a complete revamping.

[edit]
p.s. if you didn't design the code for the blog and you can just control the content (i.e. just the posts and you can't change the interface at all), i rate this thread
.

It's a photoblog, but it's just a second design.. I probably will redesign it judging by the comments coming from you guys...

You know that you can click on the pictures in the center and it will go to the next image.. also there is an all photos link on top..

Indeed, it's just not very intuitive. The pics are very cool though, it's just your matter of presentation. The hardest part about it is trying to read the dark grey text on the light grey background. It just doesn't 'mesh'. I'm not sure there's a way around the portrait vs. landscape photos on the botom, but that is also drawing the eye away from the initial picture at hand.

Comment taken.. I will reconsider my colors a bit more and figure the bottom recent photos some more next time in my design.. I should at least change the colors for the time being .. thanks for the help!
 
he captions are pretty much unreadable, being nearly the same color as the background. I have to highlight them to read them without straining my eyes.
 
The text is impossible to read without highlighting it, so I stopped doing it after the 2nd pic. Decent pics, so I gave you 2/5.
 
Okay, I will change the color of the text.. I didn't know it was distracting enough, but I will change it tomorrow.. it's getting late ..

edit1: contrasting colors for photoblog caption section (grey background with black text) should make it much easeier to read.. heck I'll probaby change it to white even..
