Website Review and Suggestions

Hi,
I created this site based on the Digg style of sharing news, and other information. The principle is you level up the stories you like.

It covers movies, books, board games, console games, and news in Sci-fi and fantasy.

What do you guys think?

I would cut some height from the header and format the stories in some fashion that doesn't look exactly like digg. "Puhlished stories" should be renamed as the upcoming stories have been published too.

It's effectively just uses a freely available content management system that does exactly what you've made it do, not overly unique from that perspective.

Design wise, the header isn't overly pleasing to the eyes, It just looks like a bunch of images that you've added a photography negative layer too..

Page runs on a little bit as well.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh, constructive criticism helps in the long run

Thanks,
Andy

My only criticism is that the header could use some work. It's a bit big, and I'm sure if the polarizing effect on the images works. Maybe better to just use the normal colors.

The template and the color scheme does not look good and the content on the page looks a bit crammed. To make the site better you should change up the color scheme, get some better graphics for the header, and add some negative space between the content on the page.

I have shortened the page, made the header smaller and completely redid the header.

Does it look better now?
