    hello,
    This is my first site i created and would greatly appreciate any feedback. It is a classfieds style site similiar to craigslist.com. i have disabled the admin section so all posts created will get posted to the main page.

    testapp.tristatepost.com/tristate

    thanks all.

    if any of you have any questions about ruby on rails, i may be able to help...however i am still a beginner.

    I hate the headers, but below that is cool, the right side boxes are the best part

    Really clean design, nice attempt on the web 2.0 look ;) I think the site could use a gradient background with .. a white background for the content area.

    hi all, thanks for the comments...its my first site, im no graphics designer so general consensus is to get the header professionally done! =)

    the hard part is trying to find a designer who is just in the middle.

    I think it looks good too and agree with most above..
    The header does nothing for it....

    i think you should make your own layout and let people judge it.
    apart from that, the layouts looks nice, but quite empty

    yes, its quite empty. if you havent notice the site will get populated by people who want to post to the site. you can fill out a form by clicking the "post ad" link at the top right hand corner. once it is submitted, the admin will either approve or disapprove the post. once approval has been given, the ad will now get posted to the public view. currently it is disabled so i can test it out.
