    Nice site!!

    My Reviews:

    Your site oppening fine in IE 6.2 & Firefox.

    Design is not that good.

    color combination is ok

    Ads placement is superb, just match the ads color scheme with your site's background .

    Content is Great.

    Best of Luck.
    Regards,

    Looking good. Kinda "cold", but it's okay.

    I made the design kind of rugged and dark/browny because of the site content, using it's people who end up eating the dirt on the floor :p

    Thanks for comments!

    I really like your design... a lot. It's very clean but kinda grungy at the same time. Very easy to navigate, clear menu, using CSS. It's all good. In fact I was very close to including it in my CSS gallery but didn't for a few reasons:

    your styling is inline, make sure it's external

    your info box needs a bit of text styling in my opinion, and perhaps more padding.

    I might experiment with very slightly rounded corners to your content boxes, it looks a little square right now.

    Sorry I'm picky, but as I said, I do really like your design. Good job! :)

    Maybe use a slightly lighter color for the word "faceplant" in the header. The dot US stands out more than the actual name of the site, instead of the other way around. So maybe just swap the colors on those, make the "faceplant" the color the dot us is right now, and the dot us th darker color. It's a bit hard to read the way it is. Everything else is much crisper and easy to read.

    Hello CrazyRyan

    I had a chance to go over your video site today.

    My Thoughts

    Logo
    Your logo is simple enough but I think that it could use more color. Especially for a humor video site.

    Template
    Same thought as the logo in regards to color. The site has that camouflage look and feel. I think adding the color would attract more people to your site.

    Google Ads
    I'm impressed on how you've used your Google Ads on the home page, funny clips, funny tv shows and funny commercials. Even though there are so many... I don't find it very obtrusive.

    I did have trouble with them when I wanted to view a video. The ads sit there for a bit before the video displays.

    Videos
    The videos seem to play fine in the 3 different browsers I used.

    Navigation
    Your navigation works good. I'd only recommend that you add a contact us page just in case someone is having difficulty or maybe interested in purchasing a site link from you.

    Conclusion
    Over all... its a very good site with a load of face plants! I think with the additional touch ups your site will do great!

    This review was done using 3 web browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    Featured video is below fold
    Welcome message - does it have to be that long?
    Too much real estate on homepage is taken by videos description
