    You have a javascript error over there on Line98, invalid character

    I wouldn't say your homepage looks like the world's longest homepage

    Also you got an annoying banner over there :)

    Thanks ludwig. :)
    The page is less than 2 months new. I'm always looking for improvement so I'd like to see more comments please. Just want to know first impressions, suggestions, etc.

    I guess my first impression was that I didn't know where to look first because you have three different columns of information but I guess that was the initial idea? I guess it's different.

    In most languages, text flows from left to right, so most people read from left to right. What people will (most likely) see when they first read your page is not the text introducing your page ... but a whole load of confusing stuff. It would be a good idea to switch the important text to the left, at least then people are more likely to understand what your site is about and stay, take a look around, for longer than 1 second.

    Well, just my $0.02. Good luck, mate! It's definitely different, which is a Good Thing (tm).

    I would add a background or border around your table (because it looks like the header is just floating there). Good job though! :)

    Thanks for that! Now I can go to my designer with a vote in my favor. We've expiremented with the backgrounding and everytime we've tested something it hadn't looked quite right and I've been overruled on the backgrounding. :) We'll see. :)

    PS, I'm not really into tatoos, but I visited your site in your sig and just want to say a truly excellent idea. Great looking site. I can see much success in your idea.

    Thank you, but the tattoo link was a rented sig ad (the other site is mine however)

    Anyways, even a light grey background would do the job! Good luck , and don't forget to post here once there's a change to the layout (I'll have a look :) )

    Good luck!

    Well that figures. For what it's worth, I did see your thefreecontent in your sig on a different post before this and I remember thinking "how did they get that domain?". So I liked the name at least. :D But since have gone to your site and I do like it too. It's promising. I can see alot of people going there to get stuff for their sites. Heck, I may even do so myself!

    We made some changes to our site since last posts. Thanks for all suggestions. We'll still improve it and are open to feedback.
