    looking good - you could probably re-work the header, or touch up the navigation so it's easier to use. Overall, think you've chosen good colors and its easy on the eyes

    It looks good. Decent SEO, decent layout, and proper Adsense optimization. Althought I think the link highlight color inside the top menu could be different than the rest of the site's link highlight color so it matches the gray over mouse bg.

    Thank you for the comments folks.

    So, the header.... OK, I will see what I can do with it. The reason why I chose to have a slightly different color for links above the navigation buttons was because I wanted to draw the attention to them...

    I need a designer to help me with this :)

    Maybe you should be more expressive with the font, and the thumbnails need to be adjusted, other than that I like it :)

    Yes, that is what I am trying to get - traffic :) Thanks.

    Actually, something is really weird happening - Google bot is going crazy on my site. In the last 3 days it crawled more than 5000 pages, but the site is still not in the index...

    Thanks, It is hard to come up with something suitable for the page content with the site of this kind. I have an idea that I work on... Hopefully I will finish implementing it in a week or so..

    My 2 cents : remove the blue border and try some other color , doesnt go along well with the links , can remove the grey background from the bottom links too ..

    I personally don't like to see those particular shades of blue and grey together. I don't think they work all that well, and they make the site look bland because the blue is the same (or very close to) the default colours of links that you get if you add no special colours in css. And the bright red is a little too much, it's not at all subtle.

    You would be better off using images, or even gradients, to draw attention to the links and text you want to highlight, rather than using those very contrasting colours.

    The address of the website on the banner has some pixelixed border around it. Look like somebody would try to cut the text out from a jpg image with a white background. It a little to rough IMO.

    I like the layout. Maybe you can make your text shorter/faster to read to save people time. I have bolded sections I think you can delete...

    Wow, thank you very much folks. Those are great suggestions. I will try to implement them all.

    >>The address of the website on the banner has some pixelixed border around it. Look like somebody would try to cut the text out from a jpg image with a white background. It a little to rough IMO.<<

    Done, Thanks.

    >>You would be better off using images, or even gradients, to draw attention to the links and text you want to highlight, rather than using those very contrasting colours.<<

    Well, this is going to be a major redesign as I already have almost 26K of images... But you are right, the colors need to be worked on.

    >>colour and theme is good but your site is slow with my 1 mbps adsl connection<<

    It is not that the site is slow, the code is quite optimized. My hosting company is having some issues on occasion, that is when the site becomes slow.

    >>My 2 cents : remove the blue border and try some other color , doesnt go along well with the links , can remove the grey background from the bottom links too ..<<

    Thanks, done :)

    >>Maybe you can make your text shorter/faster to read to save people time. I have bolded sections I think you can delete...<<

    Thanks for taking time and rewriting the text. I am surprised that you simply rearanged stuff and not completely rewritten it :) as my English is a second language and I doubt that I write that well.

    The only reason why I made the text loooong is because SE want the content... I wonder what is more benefitial - to have shorter easier to read messages or lots of content for SEs to digest...

    Thanks again everyone.
