    I think it goes 500, 300, 200.. but I'm not sure.

    I wanted to get this update in before I leave.. I made a latest news thumbnail section for the homepage.

    Feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

    Thank you very much for the revision.

    It all looks a bit too simple for me though, too much white, and too little going on. Try using some more colour throughout and use some borders to seperate the different areas of the layout, I think this would pull it together.

    Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.

    As for your entry, I don't think it's quite upto the professional level that I'm looking for with this website, but thank you for trying. Keep up the great work, you're on the right track.

    here's a second entry, completely reworked from scratch, based on your previous feedback i've tried to make this entry better than the previous one employing the colors you suggested, it utilizes 12 column 960 grid framework making it easy to slice & code, the fonts used are arial & tahoma (web safe) in general & aardvarkcafe in the logo which is free for commercial use, logo is designed in illustrator hence vector, looking forward to your feedback...:)

    here's the version showing the 12 col grids...

    Hey thanks for the feedback Marty. Here is another revision. I just busied up the content area with a few things and also got in a few icons. However about the colour aspect of the site i could not do much since it looked weird with different colours. The beauty of the site is that it's BG is monochrome. I have also made better borders around the different content areas to make them look unique.

    Here it is

    OMG, It's going to be so hard to choose winners come the 25th at this rate.

    Thank you for all of the new submissions, I'll get some feedback to you tomorrow morning when I get into the office.

    I appreciate the time you guys are putting in here, I know some of you are worried you may be wasting your time on a SCAM with my 0 iTrader.

    Thanks again, this is going better than I had ever hoped.

    That's much better.

    I really like logo, I think the concept with the one big X is awesome. I like the header too, and the latest links - nice and colourful. The content area just feels like it's floating around to me though, I'm not sure why, still feels like there's too much white space.
