So I'm just a beginner and the photos are quite awful (I think so... but it's because my camera didn't focused for some odd reason) but still, I made it! :) So what do you think? Any suggestions for upcoming posts? :) And one question, how can I make my blog be seen in Google?

No cursive-y font.
No italics (using italics for some words/a title is okay but not the entire post).

I didn't even read it because those two things alone are bothersome.

Well, apart from the font that made it nearly impossible to read it was pretty good. :) You had some pretty good information about the products, but there is a little room for improvement on how you present it since it was just a bit bock of text. Try using bullet points or separate paragraphs to emphasize or separate different points. :)

If you don't want to lose the stylized font, use that style for the titles of your posts instead, and leave the body of your content in a simple font... Helvetica is my FAV! Make sure your title is bigger, so it's more legible for your readers. If you really want to get your feet wet with a beginner's book regarding web content layout and basic HTML, read the book called Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. You may find yourself scrutinizing web pages and how they're designed afterward, but it's an easy read, and it def. changed the way I view the Internet and web usability. =]

Helvetica is my baby, haha.
If I can't find that font as an option, I go crazy, hahaha.

^watch the documentary "Helvetica" on Netflix if you can... I'm a big geek when it comes to design documentaries, but this one def gives you a big fat appreciation for a font you see everyday without noticing! Great for aspiring graphic designers to watch!

Okay so now I changed the font, it looks a little bit boring to me, but at least now it's easy to read :)

Thanks Richelle! And oh yes, English isn't my native language so that's why I do have a few errors while writing but I'm learning, I'm learning :D
