    I have just put up a new website http://www.TickleJokes.com.

    I will be glad if some members could give a brief review and feedback of the website. I hand coded the entire site including the design.
    Hope I can get some feedback so that i can fix the issues before starting to promote it.

    Thanks for looking

    Excellent domain name.

    I like the layout, nice, clean and easy to use. You definitely need to add your site name to the header though. It seems to me that the design is from a template site (search 'facing template' in Google), but you've done a lot of work with it.

    The search, about, login and comment links don't work at the top. I definitely think it's worth you doing a short about page. Instead of comments, maybe you should include some sort of rating system for your jokes, with a side bar showing the highest rated jokes.

    Thanks a lot for being the first reviewer aap :) . I didnt use any script. Coded the website using asp.net.

    Thaks BuxP. I hope it does become popular. I will need to start promoting it.

    Thanks Duff .

    Yes I have changed the header now though I think I will need a photoshop expert to really do it well. Yes the design is from a template. However as you have mentioned I have worked on it a lot and changed a lot of things. I had to spend a day modifying the design and making it work with IE 6.0 and cutting a lot of unnecessary baggage . The original design didn't work with IE 6.0 and below.
    Yes some links at the top I have just them as placeholders now. I am not sure what I should do with them. Although the search box is working. I will need to implement some kind of rating system as you say

    I love your "random joke" feature. But I think you need to redesign the header (ticklesjokes.com), maybe using another font would make your site more attractive.

    I don't see any problems with it. It's clean, easy and simple. The viewer can focus on the content and easily move on to the next joke. Great site

    You have given a good start. But I found in your source page that you are not using "Keywords" & "Description" part. Use it, this is also a vital part in terms of search engine.

    Best of luck

    Your site is fine, but the logo is very low quality and unprofessional

    Nice website, good funny content. I like the header but to make it look better you should save the images as .gif not .jpg.

    Very good design. Top panel and left panel colors are perfectly bending. Layout is simple and easy to find. Good job.

    I love the design and knowing that it is made by you says a lot. I love the randomizing of the jokes. It will turn out popular very soon,

    Okay, the jokes I read were pretty good, and the design is great, but one thing that really pulls the appeal of it down is the terrible typos in almost all the jokes... for example: "A dog walks into a butcher shop with a purse strapped around hisneck. He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it'shis turn to be waited on.A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished his purchaseand noticed the dog. The butcher leaned over the counter and askedthe dog what it wanted today.The dog put its paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef,and the butcher said, "How many pounds?"

    Also, I did not see any credits given for sources. If someone submits a joke, do they at least get a link back to their site? Nor did I notice any precaution about uploading only original material. This could get you into trouble later.

    Other than that, I think you have a winner swinging here.

    It's really great to see so many take the time out to look at the site. I am thankful for the appreciations and am encouraged to do better.

    As most of you have said, I do think the logo is not too professional so I have requested one of my designer friends to help me out there. Hopefully we can get a new one by tomorrow.

    As talewins has mentioned, there are quite a few typos and I will need to correct them as soon as I can. And giving a link back to their site to people who submit jokes seems to be good idea.

    As for copyrights, I read that jokes cannot be copyrighted. And I do feel it will be funny to be copyrighting jokes. However I may need to get more info on this "copyright stuff"
