My site what you think

Footer font is too small as stated. It's like you're trying to squeeze some information in there like 'terms and conditions apply'.

The layout isn't groundbreaking - it doesn't always have to be. I think it looks tidy, will serve the purpose of use (blogging) and should the content even be half decent - should do the job.
 
just had a look at your source code and css and there a few methods you are using that set off my alarm bell

Code: 
<div id="split">
</div>

and

Code: 
<div class="separate">
</div>

i can see what the purpose of these two divs are, the classes make it self explanatory, but this isnt the correct way. You should remove these divs and use css on your other elements to generate the same effect, such as adding margins or padding to them. Youv got a good understanding of XHTML and CSS, but are kind of missing the point of the two technologies by using this technique.

X/HTML should be used to define the content, what it is, for example, a paragraph, a heading, an image, or a list.

CSS should be used to define how these paragraphs, headings, images and lists look.

so by using <div class="separate"> your kinda using HTML to define style and looks, which isnt perfect.

Code: 
<div class="newsitem">

<div class="newstitle">
<p class="title">this is a test</p>

<p class="date">July 12, 22:31</p>
</div>   
     
<div class="newsstory">
sssssss</div>

<div class="separate">
</div>

</div>

is a very bloated and overly complicated way of doing something very simple

try this instead

Code: 
<div class="newsitem">
<h2>this is a test</h2>
<h3>July 12, 22:31</h3>
<p>sssssss</p>
</div>

exactly the same content, less code, more meaningful markup, and better SEO
