The first is a game site:

www.flashgamewall.com

- I used a different approach to displaying the games than most game sites, give it a look

www.iblogtoo.com

- Free blog hosting


Thanks!

very good sites, both of them
but maybe other colors for the banner for your game site?
maybe it's just me but doesn't look that well..

i like your blog page, very easy to navigate and you really highlight what people need to do to get that blog on the way, i see your going input a directory soon but maybe you could make an extra page or on the main page that lists the new blogs and the blog that were recently updated..

is more interesting for you and the blogger i think.

Thanks for the tips.

I actually had the recently updated blogs on there before I changed the design, but I need to find a way to logically fit it in with the new design. I am thinking about make the 4 boxes a bit smaller and making it 6 total, 1 would be the recently updated blogs, and the other is going to be a page where I teach my users how to monetize their blogs...

As for the game site; I'm not much of a designer, so it looked okay to me LOL. I could see it being a lot better than that though

My biggest problem with the first site is that these games are pretty well on every Flash game site, and they all stink. They're not very good at all.

It needs something original before most people will be even remotely interest.

As far as the blog site goes...well...it's the same idea. You're taking an idea that a bunch of people have already had, and not really adding anything to it.

I agree that things do need a specific "original" twist to be extremely successful.

But,

"There is abundance of opportunity for the man who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it." - Wallace D. Wattles

I think you did a good job on your sites - keep moving forward!

Perhaps you could take a few of the best games and hype them up with a right column "advertisement bar".

Theres a lot of games there - a little overwhelming.

I agree with AdamWebDesign, There is nothing about it that would draw a visitor to it instead of going to the well known Addictinggames.com

I think for the first site, the game icons are too bunched up together. Maybe you could separate'em a bit, or maybe put'em in different sections. Give'em a header to explain the reason of special treatment would be nice (Why those game are on the front page with an icon?). Featured game? so people will have at least a point of direction of where to start instead of just throwing 50 game titles at them.

Second link looks very nice, very web2.0 style heheh. I like it. Google Adsense seems very well blended into the site. Very nice.

Well we can see the same games on almost every flash game site but I like your design - it's really refreshing (especially Friday afternoon at work )

www.iblogtoo.com looks nice, simple but effective. You just need to move the site name away from the search box because they are touching.

i really like your blog domain name. You can work on the design. The text style under the "site news" makes the design look simple. i would change it. Put space between the box and iblogtoo.com text. they r too compact.

good luck

appearantly it was not okay for me to put two sites in the same thread, LOL.

Thanks for the input guys.

What browsers are you guys using that the site name and text boxes look too close together?

I dont quite like the approach that you are making cause it seems like your website is in a mess. But anyway good luck with it.

http://www.iblogtoo.com/
For this site, I would first like to say good effort of you for the layout. Secondly, the text seems to be "over size". I meant, doesnt it look like too bigt for you? I hope you could make the font to the default size which is around 12 - 11px.
