I like it. Your Adsense is blended in perfect.

I like everything but the menu on the left.. other than that its great! nice job

Marvelouse site! Just the menu on the left somehow doesn't belong there (needs some time to notice it).

I think you did a good job on your site. The menu bar messed with my eyes as I was scrolling down. Other than that I think you did a good job.

The atheistic design is fairly nice.
I hate the menu on the left, it's very annoying, unnecessary, and unfriendly for your visitors. A static menu would be much nicer and easier to use.
I also dislike the logo immensely, it lacks hierarchy, looks messy, and has unnecessary graphics that conflict with the minimalism of the rest of the design.
Overall it's above average.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I like it but I'm not a fan of really dark colours - makes my eyes tired!

I agree about the logo though... would be much nicer if it was embedded into the background and not sat floating in the light blue background!

The menu is clever, but a bit annoying. As is the fact that I have to scroll right on my 800x600 screen resolution.

Otherwise, I like the look of it.

Seems you don't like to close your <img> tags.. a MUST for XHTML.
ID's can only be used ONCE on a page.

Things like this:

Quote:

Not allowed in XHTML Strict - align=center is presentational and should be in the CSS.

The left-side sliding menu ?? Old hat trick from dynamic drive.. get rid of it.

Color scheme and overall design is ok, at least you've got good contrast on top of that dark background.

**calande** · 02-01-2007, 07:32 PM

Pretty good.

**archyboy** · 02-01-2007, 08:30 PM

white logo on top has really bad quality, change it

**asapcorp** · 02-02-2007, 01:10 AM

Thank you all for your inputs.

I know the menu doesn't look nice. But not sure what alternative way I can have.

I will try to change the logo. But not sure, when this can be done.

Thanks for your inputs. I will try to fix the issues soon.

I like it,
menu is great, decent placement and colors of google ads.
You could probably change the background in code parts of content.

**aldor** · 02-02-2007, 11:43 AM

I don't know what site the rest of the reviewers are looking at but I see nothing wrong with the logo.
As for the menu, yes very cute but I would change it. To me it doesn't blend with the rest of your well thought out site.
As you say that your site is aimed at beginners as well as the more experienced coders it might be worth considering a short essay on the benifits and possibilities of VB.

**Mike Hazelwood** · 02-04-2007, 07:20 AM

I am fairly new to the forum, and an extremly new webmaster, but I think the site looks good.
