But that's me; I'd choose the words over style in most situations! If I'd looked at your header I would not have continued because though I like Sci-Fi I probably wouldn't go for a sci-fi blog. Not sure if that's very clear but I'm late and have to dash. By the way, I enjoyed it.. Hi,
just to say I stumbled across you while browsing through Technorati and I was attracted by the blurb.
But that’s me; I’d choose the words over style in most situations!
If I’d looked at your header I would not have continued because though I like Sci-Fi I probably wouldn’t go for a sci-fi blog. Not sure if that’s very clear but I’m late and have to dash.
By the way, I enjoyed it..

I'll leave it as it is. :) As an aside, there actually IS a blog written in Klingon. http://bologh.blogspot.com/ More really good points, Slone. I’ll leave it as it is. :)

Seriously, though, you yourself said a few days ago... "8. What is your primary blogging motivation? I like it. 9. Do you care much about the amount of visitors? No. 10. Does the total account of visitors on your blog count more to you, than the amount of visitors who comment on your blog posts? I’m not really sure if I understand this question. Is it supposed to be ‘does the total amount‘? If that’s the case, no. If I had to choose between tons and tons of traffic and few comments, and low amounts of traffic but with lots of discussion, I’d choose the latter." which if you were being fully truthful probably means you're not TOO worried if your current image frightens away a person or two who judges the book by the cover and assumes your blog is written in Klingon. If you make your "store" look like it sells toys, books, and everything else... well, I guess you'll end up with a Wal-Mart image?

I like it.

No.

It tells readers a bit about who you are and what you like right off the bat. When I first saw your site, I could tell that you were into SciFi, but I also quickly noticed that you blogged "normally". By that I mean that you write about a range of stuff (SciFi/fantasy stuff such as Stargate and Vikings to stories about your blog title/theme)... Anyway, I'm not totally sure if I'm making sense, so to clarify, if you want my opinion, leave it as is. :) Nope, I’d leave the theme be.
