Have I gone widget mad? - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Hi all
I have been adding all sorts of widgets to my well used recipe site

cookbook.co.za.

Have I gone widget mad, making it too busy?

Any other comments would be greatly appreciated.

The widgets dont look too bad to me.
The Bright Green color on the adsense just screams advertisements to me. In my opinion, I would change the adsense link color to match the orange color that you are using for the post headings.

On second look, I didn't notice the three widgets at the bottom. You may want to eliminate some, or all of those.

I wouldnt say you've gone widget mad... yet!

I think everything works well, but I wouldnt add anymore

Thanks folks, re adsense, I find changing the colors every month or so increases the click through and do use the orange color from time to time.
Appreciate the feedback.
