Need Some Help with my New Blog

I have some questions about my new blog, Easy Technical Blog.
Here are my questions, answers to which would help me better my blog:
1. Does the domain name easytechnicalblog sound good? Is it very long?
2. Are you able to remember this domain name if you want to come back again to my blog the next time?
3. Does the blog header at easytechnicalblog.com match the site's description and is it catchy?
4. The main page at easytechnicalblog.com is a static page and for reading the blog posts, one actually has to click the link called "blog" in the top menu. Is this cumbersome for visitors? Should I instead have the blog on the main page? I saw that the Home page gets far more number of views, compared to the Blog posts page.
5. I have widened the main content area of the blog as well as of other pages and changed the area taken by the right side widgets. I've also reduced the left and right side margins. As for me, I like wide content area, but I don't know whether visitors to my site would like this idea.
Is the content area okay or should I lessen it and increase the right side widget area and the margins to the default?
6. Also, because of the above change in content area, the header looks smaller. Should I increase its length too?
7. Would adding a text sub-heading to the header image (Under the words 'Easy Technical Blog') look good?
8. For me, when I click any "Page" from the top navigation menu on the blog , a black flash is seen for a split second, which seemed distracting. But speaking to a customer support at my hosting provider, I was told that they weren't able to replicate it on their side.
Can some of you please check whether this problem is visible from your end and let me know?
Thanks to everyone for their help and comments.
