Remembering what your forum looked like when you posted it on PromotionShock, I think both sites looks great! To me though, I think you should carry over some more colors from the forum to the blog because it is a bit plain color wise. Other than that, it looks great!
My Review:
It is not a bad site. The blog has some good colors and some great content in it. Though, try to find a background color that will make your main body of the blog stick out a bit more. The blog overall is outstanding and keeps my attention. The content of this site is great and I feel that this site has a great potential to it. Best of luck to your blog in the future!
The color scheme is very bland to me. I honestly think you need to add some "flare" to it.
Perhaps Folk SHOULD be rather bland, but as a viewer - it is boring (theme wise).
The display of information is alright, but it's very "block-text" looking. Basically they look like long reads. I would, if I were you, display a portion of the post & put a read more link.
