It kind of reminds me that it would be on 2 types of blogs, either a health or a making money type site. But once again, it looks nice and clean. That is a really nice logo.

We Westerners tend to look from left to right, but also jump around. The three main points of interest on the screen are: header image, headline, and the right sidebar. This triangle means that people will inevitably land on the subscription area or the headline. And either one of those is a highly desirable action. I've seen many blog designs in which the headline of the first post is practically invisible on the page. I'm very glad you were drawn to "wealthy freelance man" because that image sets up associations of triumph in the mind of the viewer he or she may not even be aware of but is nevertheless influenced by. @Kelly - Correct!

My eye was drawn to and had a hard time leaving the freelancer in his victory pose. When I saw the subscription area, I did think it was very well done. I like how it catches my eye without needing the big buttons becoming so prevalent now. (Should I say that? I have one that I'm pleased as punch with.) The orange breaking the grey wall is very sleek indeed. The whole design is easy to use and restrained without being stark. Very nice. Regards, Kelly Michael,
