My blog: is it any good?

[Florestan]

I´ve started my own blog.

It´s in Romanian, so your chances of understanding anything else than individual words here and there are nil. What I´m interested in, though, is your reaction to backgrounds, fonts, sizes, colors and the general layout. Is it visually attractive? Is it readable?

I will use it as an auxiliary tool in my newest job hunting, so I want everything to be okay. Any feedback and suggestions are therefore thankfully welcome.

It looks good (present browser IE 11, Windows 7, or is it 8?)  And through the imperfect miracle of Google Translate I could make out some of the 1 March post, most interesting.

Many thanks for appreciation and especially for taking the time to try to make something out of it.

Delighted to be of any help, mon cher.

Looks fine, Andrei. The old-timey look is most apt, I think.

Thank you, Karlo.

Looks good on the aspects you were asking about. I like the old-timey look too. Hope it fulfills your expectations vis-a-vis job search!

Thank you too, Gurn. I have my fingers crossed. 

Looks like my sense of visual aesthetics is okay, so far.

It looks good, Andrei. What software are you using to create it?

Thanks. I use www.blogger.com.

Looks good to me, but let people check on different mobile/smartphone type devices. Because these are getting more and more important and people are annoyed if sites don't look/work properly on these things.

Thanks for the tip, Jo.

Looking at it on the phone (IE), it looks fine. The top image doesn't show, but I don't think that is a problem necessarily.

That´s a built-in feature of the platform, actually. I don´t mind it either.

Hi Andrei - just took a look and agree w/ the others - a great start - curious when I visit some of these 'foreign' websites, little flags are often available indicating language options - I assume that would be a costly affair or not available depending on the server software being used?  Dave

Looks attractive to me and we'll presented and formatted. I liked the last image with its light blue against the yellow background of the blog. Pity I can't read it!

Nice job Florestan.  Looks quite nice on my smartphone too, which is rarely the case.
Although I dont really speak your native language, I could see there were article on music and politics next to each other.  Maybe you may want to classify the different topics in sections.  Anyway I may run your music articles through google translate in french just so see if my guesses were right.

I can't read a word of Romanian (obviously), but it looks rather nice nevertheless, Andrei.

I suggest translating the whole thing into Vlach, circa 1430 or so.

Thank you all for having a look and for your kind words.

To give you an idea what it is about, Orient Occident refers to Romania´s intermediary geographical position and Carti. Muzica. Idei means Books. Music. Ideas.

Most probably. I didn´t check that out.

That painting is Rubens´ The Four Philosophers.

They are already classified in the Categorii (that is, categories) section on the right side column of boxes. I am really curious if using Google Translate you´ll be able to make something out of that article

That would be far, far outside my linguistical competency. Even Romanian ca 1430 would be very difficult because most of the words I use did not exist back then and to find an equivalent for them would require a professional and very knowledgeable philologist.
