Do a complete redesign. It looks terrible.
I can't tell you, what you should write about, but I can tell you how you could improve the readability of your blog.
1) Turn on your spellcheck.
2) Proofread your posts after writing.
3) Just fix that theme. It only works with a 1280x720 - 1280x1024 resolution, which makes your site terrible on anything other than that.

I hear oil cooling is terribly annoying to do first if you mess up your screwed if parts dont work etc like having to clean everything off and start again also that it evaporates if you don't seal it properly :P
But back to the actual question i don't see something terribly wrong with it its not the best and i didnt see any resolution issues but i guess im in the range that works

Thank you I was unaware there was any resolution problem as I built this theme on a 1240x768 resolution 14.1 inch laptop (just to be geeky i thought i would add that).
Do you like the top banner?
What colour scheme do you recommend ?
what (blogger) blogs can you recommend that you like?
@ David Myers you wrote: while loading scrolling up/down the page caused pretty huge tearing.
What Did you mean by that was it because it was still loading?
@ Johannes S. I have set up Windows Live Writer to help with spell check and make it easier to proof read also I'm looking into a way for it to work on different resolutions now.
Also I did say don't look so much at the posts at this point as they are old and have been messed up a bit when i was editing the HTML.
@ Nathan thank you for your response, Do you have water cooling if so how easy is it to do and if possible send me a pic of your (water cooled computer).

Any tips on how i can make it fit for all screen resolutions if I rebuild it I will probably run into the same problem.
Also basically the whole thing was built in photo shop and i dont know how I can make the background image sit perfect at 100%

Create a table 640px wide. Then put everything inside that table. Then you will cover virtually all resolutions from 640x480 up (excluding mobiles).

I improved my theme and tried to make it work better on lower resolution!
Is this better?

It's still terrible on higher resolutions.
Just center the background as well. That way it looks a lot better.
But improve the header as well. It just doesn't look right.
Also, what software are you using for the site? If it's wordpress (it doesn't look like it), just use a theming platform or a readymade theme (and customise it!) for your site. It will work out easier in the long run.

I'm using Blogger as with wordpress I hear there are many costs involved such as adding your own domain, customizing the theme costs, and there was a few more things it's not cheap!
