Two things I see off bat, some color. The newspaper theme is okay, but it's very aesthetically unpleasing.
And second, use the "more" option, I don't know what it's called in wordpress, but have a short description, then have your users click "read more" to finish reading the whole article. This saves alot of room on the home page, and people can quickly browse your most recent posted articles without having to read the WHOLE article. (Obviously you can't cater to everyone, some people might not want to read about the olympics or "114 cool things about being a guy"
Also your "Digg this story" button doesn't work. There are sites out there that give you a little "badge" for lack of a better term, that automatically makes the links that allow your visitors to Digg, reddit, stumbleupon etc your articles. I can't remember the name of the service, but I see it on alot of blogs. It may even be a wordpress plugin.
I'm sure there is more, but thats all for now.

thank you so much for the review for improvement.
I will try to look for plug ins to make the story as in summary then into a full history after they press the button.
I was trying to look for the digg plug in wordpress but i couldnt find it nowhere near..
Once again. Thank you for the review!

Just so you know, the more button is just a personal preference alot of blogs don't use it, but for long information I think it's very important. Especially that list of 100 some odd things, that was just a bit much to have to scroll through.

The layout is way too plain. First impressions really do matter. Regardless of how well you write or how interesting your blog is, when someone visits your site they decide whether they are going to stay long enough to read based soley on the impression that it makes on them visually. I definitely suggest you revise your layout. I only skimmed through your articles, but they seem entertaining and informative enough to keep someone around should they actually start reading. Also, your sidebar, there is WAY too much crap on it. You should consider lightening it up. Trippin7464 is absolutely right about shortening up your front page blog posts by using the "more" option. Overall, with the exception of the decent blog content, I wouldn't rate your site very highly.

I love it! Great design, to the point and does exactly what it is meant to do.
Nice colours, not distracting or annoying... really nice.
I'd say you should show less content on the front page and like Trippin said, use the more function that wordpress has built in.
Overal, really nice... if you would like to add more pages, I would recommend simple box tabs in the top right corner coming down from the top line.
One thing you could look at design wise, is making the title of the website "Eddy Wu Chaney Web Blog" more distinguishable from the article title, may it be different font... anything. But that's me nip picking

First of all I say you get a top level domain and if you cant afford one get a .co.cc www.co.cc
Second write your own story/content/news do not steal anyones else...make it unique.
Thrid get a better design make one and makie it unique and make it follow the theme
of your site.
Advertise on forums, sites, etc. DO NOT SPAM SITE THOUGH!
Thats all for now..

I think the site is too long. the pictures are definitely eye catching/make me want to look though it more.
the site itself is kind of blan and boring. there is no real theme behind the site. no background. everything is white. i think it has potential, there needs to be some sort of color scheme.
