FIRST IMPRESSION
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggg Huuuuugggeeee Booooldddd! I'm sorry for the weird spelling, but yes, that was my first impression.
I'll tell you right away - your design is not my style at all - that's no criticism though. Your site is actually one of the first sites where I feel like scaling down your font size.
COLORS
They go well together. Nice. Your headings are good to read and instead of making the h's with higher numbers smaller, you start with you h1 small and increase the size.
Unique, I'd say. I have only positive things to say about your color choice - well made.
LAYOUT
Unique suits it best. As noted above, not my style, it's working for me though. The font is good to read, although the color of your info class seems a little to bright for the background. I'd make it a bit darker. The header and footer suit your site, no other design would work. Box navigation - nice. Your site is easy to navigate.
ABOUT
Your about page is well written and interesting. I never met an anarchist, vegan and atheist in one person :)
I like about pages, so I'd like to read more of you! Anything will do.
WRITINGS
I personally am not a big fan of writings as in poetry, which I first thought this page was about. Then I read through your writings and they're unique as well. Very different from all the other writings out there. Very nice. Add more, please?
ARCHIVES
Oh, your blog is young. Straightforward page.
SITE
Straightforward as well.
CONTACT
Contact Forms are nifty.
LINKS
Straightforward as well. And sorted alphabetically. Nice!
CODING
All fine.
CONCLUSION
As noted above, your layout is definitely not my style, yet I like it. I'd change the color of your info class as well as the hover link color in it. I might enlarge the font size of your site name OR add a "home" button to your navigation. The first time I browsed your site and wanted to get back to your blog, I was a little lost, seeing I found nothing to click. I found your site name eventually after a few seconds :)
All in all it's good - and different, and different is good!
