If your site is for "enlightened" muslims purely, then it doesnt matter what you do with the titles, background, presentation - just focus on great content

If its not dawah , it is then forbidding the bad and enjoining the good to the muslims ? Either way its dawah - in my lowly opinon

You should get a wordpress self-hosted blog instead of blogspot if you intend to do this seriously..Also number and styles of themes is much more extensive and varied. Also more plugins.

Its 10 dollars for a dot com domain, and a 2 to 3 dollars a month hosting. Much more flexible than blogspot hosted platform.

You should also add traffic stats, (just one line of code inserted into your blog- im pretty certain blogspot allow this) It will give you a better understanding of your visitors, so you can tailor your site and content accordingly. In truth you cannot predict this, its a matter of time and stats, so you need to actually get a few thousand visitors first before you can understand what they want (e.g what type of articles are read a lot, and what type of articles are mainly ignored, so you spend your time efficiently)

Islamic terminology is enticing to people, especially since between the terminology is sound, practicable and understandable to all advice. Advice that could benefit all.

Dont underestimate people, a new muslim, a novice muslim even an atheist can benefit, in my lowly opinion.

Why not maximise the readership ?

If the aim is making the presentation easy to navigate, and simple to understand and enticing enough to make you want to delve further, then why not simplify the title ? If a side product of your efforts in reminding the "enlightened" muslims leads to new and novice and non-muslims and even atheists from perhaps delving further, at the cost of simplifying the title, then why not ?

You dont need to water your content down though, you should keep the terminology etc etc - im talking about Navigation links, titles, sub-titles, content header text, content footer text, Category headings,

In terms of background overall, you should keep it plain solid colour, no patterns, as it makes the centre column content easier to read. The title should be have a patterned backgound or gradiented background but not the solid block that makes it amateurish at the moment. Maybe reduce the size of the title text for a quick fix?

Personally, whoever its for, the more professional looking the better i guess ?
