Visually appealing sites combined with superior content--unbeatable combination. As with any piece of writing, one must have a hook. In a bookstore, the first thing that pulls a buyer in is the cover. Second is the jacket blurb ... and it all happens very fast. Billys last blog post..The Act of Writing: Believing in Yourself

We creative people need to learn how to farm out more of the stuff we aren’t great at doing.

A more descriptive tag line in the banner would be helpful.

The best description of the blog I found was in the ‘about’ section -
“Taking photographs is one of my hobbies, and creative writing is also a hobby of mine. So I decided to present not only some of the pictures I take but also to muse about them or about life in general.” – so a more concise and yet descriptive rewrite of these two sentences would be better than ‘photos and musings’ in my opinion.

Harry and James – the ending to this drive-by was great!

@ Ulla – We were due to blow something up; I’m sorry it had to be your blog.

The message that you should be taking from the hit is that the site lacks visual interest. There’s nothing there to attract people visually, nothing to stimulate the mind. Give people something to look at, especially considering it’s a photoblog. You have photos in the content, yes, but that’s not enough, in our opinion.

GRAB people’s attention. Make them look!

Good luck!

Okay, okay! Reading this first made me gulp. But I had asked for it, hadn't I? So the message I take from that is that I should make more out of my content. Hmmm, I think you're right. Thanks for taking the time to go through it! Ulla Hennigs last blog post..Welcome to my Blog!
