    Hi, I am starting over again, trying to just make a simple design, and just put on good content. Does this look ok, and not want to make you click away?

    Thanks ahead of time for your advices.

    Your site is a success - you have achieved simplicity. The thing about simplicity is that visitors need to have a reason to stick around long enough to read the content.

    I think its a tad much on the simplicity side and needs some more work :p it looks to 1990's to me

    If you want to center it the layout put this in your css: *{margin 0 auto; padding}

    Your homepage should be an explanation and welcoming, not just an entire article. If you want, start the article on the page, but add a more link to go to the full article. Other than that, the layout looks clean and simple.

    How thrillseeker30, you can center the layout. Simple and good looking layout design. Not the best, but it's ok. You can still work a little at this.

    Just look at my previous post, just apply that css to your stylesheet and the layout will be centered.

    A reasonable attempt but lacks content . In some of the inner pages you have left a gap between the lines. I think the site need more work. change the fonts also.

    Personally I think you should move your graph up more so they see it right when they go to your page. It is so bright and color people will be like "what is this" Right now you have to scroll down to see it.

    I would change the font of the text. It just does not look that appealing with the site design. I am not sure what to change it too, try ariel? (Unless it's already in ariel.. lol)

    Will change font after work today. Does anyone know how to center layout? I tried Thrillseekers's *{margin 0 auto; padding}, and it did not work for some reason. Thanks for the help everyone.

    exactly what i thought.
    it seems like the design is outdated a bit.

    You need to put the text on the left and the ads on the right. You see, humans are (for the most of the population) right minded, and thats why the point of focus neds to be on the right (thats how it works). Thats y youtube and other youtube like sites have teh vids on the left. Just fix that up and its ricking on!
