A nice site, good work, but news are not latest. tongue.gif
One suggestion I would like to give you:
You are showing two advertisement links on both sides of central/content part. This makes both the parts shorter than the middle one, doesn't looks good. If you put both the links on left side one, one above the other and expand the width of middle part, then it will be good.

Its my view, you may or may not like the idea. smile.gif

Yes, I have seen the problem with them and there are short pages with not many text and it would be too long if they are put one under another. I am going to think about that.
The news are all up to date.

Your site looks real neat. But the horizontal scrollbar (at the bottom) makes it look a tad big. I don't know if bothers anyone else but horizontal scrollbars are a real pet peeve to me unless it's purposely made to look fancy. Other than that I like the colors and stuff. Good job and keep up the good work. =)

Things I want to point out in no particular order
The navigation is neat, but it's better to use lists instead of images - lots more room for neatness there. You don't need to use your logo everywhere. After a while, it'll just start getting messy. Now, in respect to the layout of the page, don't use tables for layout - use divs. The quotes section seems almost unnecessary. It looks like too much work for you to update regularly.

With regards to updating, how are you going to do it without creating too much trouble for yourself? If you're using a news script, great, but if not - that's a lot to edit each time you want to add a series of news articles! Search through Hotscripts and see if you can find anything, if you aren't using one already (you might be, I just can't find any trace of it).

Additionally, the site looks very cluttered. I don't like the giant "READ MORE" arrows to the right of each article. It just feels like a decorative element (a bad one) rather than something instructing viewers to keep reading. You use a very small font for most of your page - which is bad for a lot of people. You also don't make a distinction between a page header and normal bold text, which makes it harder to read an article. I also feel that your headers shouldn't be centered - English is read left to right, so looking in the center and then reading from the left might be a little jarring. Organize your page better, please!

The colors - hmm. I like them by themselves, but on the left navigation menu, the orange is extremely bright to me. You also overuse the blue and orange on your headers. I would say pick a neutral color scheme and add a few accent colors. That'll not only make it look more professional, but also easier to read for those of us who stare at schoolwork all day and expect something friendly for their eyes.

Sleep time now!

Thank you for your constructive review! I will try to update as you told me.
Anyway, the site is programmed in 100% by me, I am not using any turnkey script and the news are automatically updated.

Site looks nice and design is proffesionaly made and has lots of information in it but what I think is that its too same everywhere and boring.. sorry but you need to make it some way activier with some moving stuff not text and photos..

nice site, although the buisness link on the left in your navigation seems to be corrupted and looks very dodgy, maybe something went wrong in my page but it continues to look odd after refresh... just take a look wink.gif

I think your site includes a lot of up to date infromation. I think it is comparable to other network news websites.

The formatting is good and is very understable. Some news sites you dont know how to navigate but yours is clear and concise.

I also like you do not put your advertisements on the top of the webpage. They are on the sides where they do not take away from the rest of the page.

    Warhammer Online, but I am wanting to over time expand it into other games as well. The information

    cheats/codes), walkthroughs, etc. Right now I think it will be based on just MMORPG's, but that

    I've redesigned my website - from graphics to the CSS layouting. I was planning on a website
    that would look personal not commercial, with a home-cooked feel. I ended up with a pretty simple
    and straightforward design. I'm afraid it looks a bit packaged now, kinda like what you'd
    get with ready-made blogs out there. I'm making a layout number 3 but I'm sticking with this
    one for a while if I get not-too-terrible reviews, heehee. Anyways, I feel like I'm writing my

    CheatScene. The staff is all junk, they support spamming, flaming, and other misuse of rules. No
    names mentioned, but A certain Super mod, and 2 administrators are spammers and flamers themselves,
    while saying they need to promote the site. The java macro the REAL admin created is a class A
    macro, and gets a 5 star rating from me. The website skin is dull, and somewhat old....

  27. Myfabrik.com Review
    (5)
    Those of you who subscribe to PC World may have noticed a review for a site called Myfabrik.com
    Myfabrik is a file hosting service that gives it's members a fairly large amount of space (2GB
    in my case) to store Photos, Music, Videos, and Documents. But, on top of this, it also allows you
    to have a small "Public Page" that allows you to share select files with anyone that browses to your
    page. I found that MyFabrik's interface was very clear and uncluttered, but some of the icons
    were very small, and dragging files and folders to the trash is a hastle with my cra....
