What do you guys think? A friend of mine did this and he was looking for some constructive feed backs.

I'll get back to you on your spiffy blog after I've given it a thorough once-over, but I just wanted to say that, we at QBN love tutorials, tips and tricks. http://www.qbn.com/topics/597931…

No offence, but I feel like ive seen this design somewhere before.

Gotta love the 'advertise here' boxes. Shows you are confident in your enterprise, which is a good thing.
Overall, not bad at all. Very friendly look for what it is. I hope those tutorials don't suck, because I tagged the page for later visits.

By the way, are planning on posting a logo critique request anytime soon?

I like the background, do not like the logo one teeny tiny little bit.
the whole inverting type when it appears over a different background thing is very hard to get right, and this is not one such example.
As for the layout etc, it's a very common format, but one that works I guess.

It feels like the site is simply out to gain hits and sell ads without contributing anything new.
I mean, the layout and design of the site is basically from Web Designer Wall (which is a decent tutorial blog). The tutorials on the site are not that great. There are comments which actually explain how to write the code better (This actually helps the site). Then there's this... "These ‘back to top’ links can be essential for pages that have a long vertical stretch, allowing the user to easily glide back to the top of the page to navigate smoothly. You will need an extra plugin script for this to take action". Javascript isn't needed for this.
Also, why not explain how a tutorial is compatible only with two browsers before making a reader follow down in the comments before finding that out?
