Design Blog Test

Ok this is a test for my new blog. IE keeps crashing on my PC so I don’t even dare use it and the adBlock software in my firefox somehow ignores it when I say ‘disable’. ?

At the same time I wanted to promote this and ask you guys what you think of the blog? I’m fairly seasoned with Photoshop and the design end of flash so I thought I’d block my current projects as tutorials. Do the google ads show for you guys? (it only shows on the index for me) and do you think they are too much?
