Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it.

samsvojboss, Nice cusotmization there ... I like how you have the language options. Would be nice if I can move to a wordpress blog where I have access to the source code and use goog*le tran*slatio*n API to actually create static pages for each language; heard it helps a bit for seo.

As for the affiliate links, I'll look into the html source more to edit these links out of the default templates. Also, another advice I have is that many of these templates use <div> css for the header text; not the best for seo.

Its pretty simple to edit the html on blogg*er to change these to <h1> and <h2> tags, so that your blog is more optimized for your target keyword (which should be the name/title/subdomain of your blogg*er's blog as well).
