Well done for publishing informative posts on your course-work fairly regularly! It's been interesting to read your feedback on the Online Media Production course and I hope you'll continue updating your blog next year.
In 2011, you might also want to experiment with turning your WordPress blog into a website and incorporating some of the projects you worked on in 2010?
If so, I'd recommend that you improve the header graphic of your blog (it takes up a lot of space and does not add much value) and include some of the graphics you developed for your student website. you might also want to experiment with displaying your posts tags in a tag cloud, adding social media sharing links, etc. to take it to the next level.... - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

It's a pity you did not publish posts more regularly and incorporate some of the design work you did in your blog template:
next year you might want to experiment with turning your WordPress blog into a website and incorporating some of the projects you worked on in 2010?
Other than publishing more often, you could also consider replacing the header graphic of your blog with an image that is more personable and relates better to your blog's posts. You could also begin customizing the template to make it simpler, more-usable and better looking. (i.e. the blogroll, calendar and search take up too much screen real-estate and don't deserve the design emphasis they are given). - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

Your blog posts are well written, tagged and look good. Well done!

You could also consider adding more functionality to your blog (such as a "tag cloud", links to social media, your photos, etc.). - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

Well done on publishing posts fairly regularly and taking the initiative to expand your blog into a website :) !
I hope you will take it to the next level in 2011, by: customizing the site's template to be more appropriate for a child-focussed site (i.e. move away from a grungy template, use upbeat colours and add pictures of children).
You should also experiment with the layout of your site's services; leave only those that "add value" on it and ensure that they work (i.e. it's a pity your "tag cloud" and "top posts" are not working.
You should also fix the broken Social Vibe badge button at the bottom of your site. - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

Congratulations on regularly publishing interesting posts to your blog and matching the look-and-feel of your website.
Next year you might want to experiment with turning your WordPress blog into a website and incorporating some of the projects you worked on this year!
My major suggestion for improvement is that while the layout of your articles is sound, you must fix your template's homepage settings: remove the text "This is the home page widget area. You can use this space to add an introductory message to your blog with a Text Widget or add any other widget here." and large white-space which I see when using Firefox.
You should also improve the header graphic to make Nikijay's Blog more legible. - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

It's a pity you started well, but failed to publish posts past week 4 of the Online Media production course; what a disappointment for you readers, who are likely to have found full weekly feedback on the course far more useful!
Other than publishing more often and tagging your posts, you could also consider replacing the header graphic of your blog with an image that is more personable and relates better to your blog's posts. You could also begin customizing the template with social media sharing, tag clouds, etc.
Next year you might want to experiment with turning your WordPress blog into a website. Perhaps, incorporating some of the projects you worked on in 2010? - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01

In addition to posting more often next year, you might want to experiment with turning your WordPress blog into a website and incorporating some of the projects you worked on in 2010?
You could also consider adding more functionality to your blog (such as a "tag cloud", links to social media, your photos, etc.).
As a designer, you should also improve the quality of the imagery you use (the header looks pixellated) and consider elements from the InDesign and Photoshop work you did this year. - Travis Noakes on 2010-11-01
