What blog script are you using Craig? Checking your metas I'm not seeing a lot of the stuff that happens on a theme template for pinging and rss etc.

Why are you sending exit traffic to googgggle?? now stop that!! It doesn't endear you in their ranking and they don't need the inbound link. Find, or make, some kind of main stream site to send people to instead. Preferably one you can make some $ from.

Click on the month under Archives = your page loses it's middle blue table color and text becomes unreadable. Might check to see where it's looking for that bkg tile or else be sure the CSS is playing nicely with the archive template.

Having a sitemap link is good, that'll help the SE spiders.

I really like the overall design and look of the site. Posts are interesting and should you continue along that style, you'll probably have some good bookmarking happening. I'd jump on some more trades.

I'll possibly have some other comments once I know which script you're running.
