    I Liked your site..specially the top logo :) the only thing i dont like was too much ads..its really annoying for the user..i know we make sites to earn but first and foremost u should make regular users who like ur site..bookmark it and then slowly and steadily u can increase the ads

    Now you say too many ads what do you think the optimal blend would be, should I replace to top add by the logo with a secondary nav system, and move the google ads to the right side completely on the index page. And on each of the main cats and articles there are ads above and below. Any more input on this?

    I think you did a really nice job on the banner and the articles. Its a great domain and jus advertise it a little bit and the site should take off.

    Good work and keep it up.

    Ads are not a problem if anything it gives the visitors other information about body building after they are done looking at your info. Not only is this giving the visitor more info but also getting you money.

    increase the content font size.I understand you're trying to blend your adsense ads but too much isn't a good thing.

    Thanks, I was definetly thining about increasing the content size so to hear that from another person is good. There will be more content, I've been updating everyday, as will continually add a new article each day; however, there are a few things I want to change to the site and have set up before I go full tilt on adding a ton of articles and then having to mess with the database to change how its displayed. (If you know to get the articles to index by newest first on the subheadings (ie motivation, sports, exercises, ect) and want to help me get that switched it would be greatly appreciated) Also if I could figure out how to hide some of those links on the side I could create subtopics, which is what I want to establish before I get everything set up. Does that make sense? Again thanks for your input everyone!

    You dont have a doctype sort that out.

    nice website i like the design and the logo. Too much open black space above the ads maybe add some colourful buttons or something to fill it up.

    I like your site - too much black/wasted space though. And the text menu to the right needs some padding. good job though.
