Alex, I took a look at your site and have some suggestions:

1) Be careful of the background you use... you don't want it to dominate or destroy the colour scheme. Look at Like Yeah Forever for an example of a background that fits the scheme of the title bar

2) Upload a title banner. Without it, your site looks plain and forgettable. The title banner is the first thing people look at, and a simple, well-constructed banner is essential.

3) Font size. I'm not sure why you picked that large font size, but it actually makes it harder for me to read, for some reason. Use the default size and make sure to break up long paragraphs.

4) Post images. Every post should have at least one image. The images are crucial, as the other orble pages use the first image in the list of posts. Without an image, the post draws very little attention. Be sure to cite and link to your sources, though...

5) Use hyperlinks. I noticed that you pasted links into the text of your post... instead, try selecting the relevant text, clicking on the 'Insert Link' icon, and creating a hyperlink. Easier to read, easier to click on.

6) Participate in the Orble community. You're writing about horror movies, and there are quite a few other film and horror blogs. Visit them, comment, stick around!

I was going to suggest a title banner also.
I put together a quick one for you if you're struggling.
Slow day.

Hope it helps.
