goradio some of the guys on here who are just saying start again are folk worth listening too and though they seem harsh don't take it that way, they're giving you a short snap judgment based on years of experience and not simply slating you to look cool. Just ignore the other guys, I find a lot of the people on here who laugh at peoples work postings are the kind of vacuous 20 year old shit heads I'd dearly love to see get torn apart by rasko while their "spindly girlfriends" watched in slack jawed hipster horror.
anyway, I digress; try this as an exercise if you want - take the advice to look at the one page folios site, there's some perfect stuff to learn from there. Then try redesigning in just black and white, use only one typeface through out and just lay the work and blog posts out with black rectangles of colour, don't use ANY photoshop filters or style effects and work on the PURE layout till the way everything sits together regardless of 'style', (whatever that concept really means) and by the harmony of the elements involved alone, starts to look good. then repost (just do it in photoshop and post up mock ups, put in fake work or just grey boxes to fill it out).
Another thing; your work should be primarily a visual thing, enlarge the images, use more of them, tell the story that way with minimal textual info. The blogs are your words and thoughts and its appropriate to use that kind of format for them, not so for the work. Two different layout formats for the two different types of content will go a long way to sorting out the site.
and aye, ditch the logo; sorry mate but its a bit shit
