Hi, I recently launched my site and would appreciate any feedback the DP community has to offer.

AutoConcourse is a user-driven automotive news and social networking site for automotive enthusiasts. Users can submit news, contribute to the editorial process by voting on content, create and maintain image galleries, connect with friends, and post comments to stories and profiles.

Thank you for reading.

Thanks for looking raugusto. To submit articles from Top Green Cars (I'm guessing, as the site is in English) all you have to do is register.

Pretty nice. I would suggest a tad bit more space or a line between articles or don't use red for the comment/read more line.

I think the ad on top disrupts your site's layout design. Since the width isn't that wide (on the ad). I would move it to the content area above your "popular news" text.

Actually, the white space at the top will show 728x90 ads in the future, but I put up that little banner as a way to get linked by Autoblog while they're holding the contest. Once the contest ends, it'll be taken down.

I agree that it looks out of place though.

The site was built using the Drupal CMS with a number of contributed and custom modules.

it looks nice. It's a great color scheme, simple design. I think you did a great job - was it a template or what?

Thanks for the kind words darbsllim. The theme was all custom. Building the site was big enough of a hurdle; now I'm finding that building traffic is an even bigger challenge.
