Fails validation because of the phpbb forum links after the news headlines and forum links, still looking for a way around it.

Just switched to a new host, load times should be snappy and quick.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Changes because of suggestions:

Oct 11th, 07 - Removed border from banner

Oct 13th, 07 - Removed outer glow from description text on banners

Oct 18th, 07 - Removed website updates section, no real purpose, no reasonable updates.

Oct 19th, 2007 - Left justified from page news images, replaced latest headlines and welcome with images, and made it so there are now 5 news articles at a time.

Oct 20th, 2007 - Fixed transparency in IE6 for left hand side icons.

Oct 21st, 2007 - Added new more professional logo.

Oct 25th, 2007 - Reduced keywords lengths on homepage, re-ordered navigation, and fixed some older pages alignment.

Oct 29th, 2007 - Added more navigation links, fixed keywords.

overall it's good but you need to set the top image to a border of 0 in html or css and the centered text in the content kind of bothers me, 98 percent of sites dont center their content and theres a reason for that.

centered text
Its always been the opposite for me, but I suppose your right. I should set it to the standard and not my preference. It just feels weird for me when its not all centered or mostly.

Set to default.

Very odd, I have 24/7 server upstatus monitors and none of them reported any downtime at all recently.

I have been able to access it all day as well.

try again?

Hiya, I think that you should get rid of that glow on your banner where it says (Free Technical Guides And Tutorials). It just makes the title hard to read. Leave the shadow, it looks cool. Ripe

Yep it is quite good - I like it. I think you've got the spacing and layout done really nice too - can't really find much fault with it

Thank you all for your so far kind comments.

Im just bewildered though, every time I ask for a review everyone says its ok and not fractured or dysfunctional or anything like that, but my traffic is terrible, and my forum has less than 10 active users. All this time I'm panicking about something being wrong, and I dont really know if it is. Do I just need to be patient and keep repeating "rome wasnt built in a day"?

Patience is a virtue.

"If you build it, they will come". Okay, so it's not a quote with as much prestige as yours but I liked it.

You do have a great site with lots of useful information. I know the reason I don't make posts is because I don't have any problems or issues at the moment but I check your news. I don't see the reason in making pointless posts just to make a presence. Remember it's the Quality, not the Quantity that counts.

You'll get there.

also when it comes to the top image you could change it to a smalled gif. The example I made for you is 17kb as compared to your current which is 88. this will free up bandwidth and i think it looks a little more professional too.


feel free to use it if you want too...

While I do appreciate the contribution, bandwith is not one of my concerns.
I also wouldnt be to fond on a small image myself.

And thanks for the comments g3x.
