stretch dog I tested on-the-fly the blog, and I can only tell so far the following problems:
1. Improper Use of Tables
Your web design appears to be using nested table elements. Nested tables are often used to improperly control the layout of a web page, and are no longer used in modern web design. All layouts should be controlled by CSS. Furthermore, nested tables can break up the semantic order of a web page, and also unnecessarily increase the page size.
2. Download Size/Time
The size of your HTML is 173.57KB
Your web page is over 100KB and needs to be optimized! Search engines, like Google, reward web designs that make an effort to reduce the size of their web pages. Also, condensed content helps search engines better target your web page for specific keywords.
Total Page Size
It's always important to pay attention to your total page size. If your other files (like images and scripts) are large, it may make your website load slowly for users who do not have broadband connections. In general, it's good practice to try to keep your web pages as small as possible.
* HTML: 173.57KB
* Images: 756.03KB
* CSS: 4.77KB
Total: 934.36KB
3. Outgoing Links
Your web page doesn't appear to be using the rel="nofollow" anchor attribute. It's important to use this attribute for outgoing links that you cannot verify, are not related to the content of your web page, and/or link to untrusted spammy web pages. Otherwise, search engines may penalize your web page for links they deem to be untrustworthy and/or spammy.
You blog and the other web site are not in the sandbox or banned though. Just FYI. :)
