Hi,
Please provide what you feel about my blog zLesa (http://sodidi.blogspot.com).
All criticisms are welcome. I want to improve it's both design wise and content wise.!

At first glance I couldn't find rss feed icon or link. It would be good to make it more obvious.
myBlogLog text is unreadable: Red on dark red. You might want to change those as well and maybe pick some colors that suits your blog more. Other then that, it looks fine to me.

The overall layout kind of put me off. I don't like how big the two sections are on the right, in comparison to the main content on the left. That's about it, though.

I really dislike the snapshot links...whenever your browsing a post a big stupid box pops up, very annoying in my opinion :)
You should probably spice up the header a bit as well :)

Thanks All for the feed back.
I am in the process of designing the new look. Will take your feed back and incorporate it that design.

To be honest I liked it overall but the brownish color on the heading up top I really didn't care for. But then brown is not my favorite color.

Your new design is an improvement over the old, but you still have some work ahead of you.
Do you really need that huge green header? It looks like you are trying for a minimalistic design, but that header is holding you back.
What is that top Navigation? Your "home" link is in your header, off to the right and then at the left you have three other navigation links at top.
I'm not familiar with blogspot themes, but it's my opinion that the latter three links are out of place in that position and the background coloration makes them look amateurish.
What is with that huge label cloud? I really think those are poor use of space on any blog, unless it has hundreds of posts over several years. Additionally, I don't care to read what other people are saying about your blog; I came to your page to read what you had to say about a certain topic.
Your blog has trademark violation and copyright issues. I don't know if your country is a member of the Berne Convention, but whether or not it is legal in your country, using someone else's work is unethical and poor practice in building a respectable website. You name as your source for the three auto photos, "A mail from my friend ______".
Unless your friend took those three pictures, they are not his and he cannot be claimed as a source. You also have a cutout picture of the one-touch mouse with the trademark clearly visible.
About your writing --- it's apparent that English is not your first language. If you have MS Word available, use it to prewrite your blog posts. Set the language feature to the English nearest to that spoken in your country. Then use both its spelling and grammar checker to clean up your errors. If you don't have Word, look for an alternative application -- either an online checker or another piece of software.
Your writing is very wordy. Cut to the chase. Get to the point. Online readers scan content. Your words aren't gold. If something is superfluous to your topic, get rid of it. Before you post something, be sure you have kept your focus to one topic only. Your Aug 7 post starts off talking about Google and ends up talking about pay per post.
Moreover, keep the negatives to a minimum. The post mentioned above starts off reading like just another whiny Google rant -- still you have Google ads on your site.

Shyflower,
That was a very detailed analysis.
Thanks a lot!.
This blogger theme is my own. I have made the design.
Regarding the images sourcing from other sites. I will be more careful.
Grammar,Superfluous wording, I will work on it.

design / color choice needs to be improved, but it's ok. takes time.
what i'm more concerned about it this.
you call your site - zLesa
your site title - jOining tEchnology,eNtrepreneur, sTartups, iDeas, iNnovation, bUsiness,iNdia (no zLesa)
your URL - http://sodidi.blogspot.com/
wow. so that's like 3 different stuff there!
and you're using blogspot, you don't have the MORE (a.k.a SUMMARY) option unless you play around with the codings / markup. :(
