    Ok, I think I'm finished setting up my first directory. Take a look and let me know what you think (constructively please) and how I could make it better. Feel free to submit links where appropriate.
    http://www.edu-hq.com/directory/
    Here's the link.
    Apologies if this is spammish.
    Thanks guys

    It looks nice, but $1 for regular links for your first directory? I suggest offering them for free to start up a rep and get some content on your site. then you could consider charging for links.

    Also, your site isn't indexed yet, so I wouldn't worry about being spammed for a while. You might try removing the captcha to get some more submissions.

    Cool, thank you for the advice. I changed the regular link to free for the time being.

    You'd better disable the image validation,people here on DP don't like that :)

    You should change something on the footer.

    Cheers, thanks. I picked up on the footer thing too, just can't change it till I get home :(

    Why don't people like image validation?

    It takes a lot longer to submit a site and often it's wrong multiple times. It's just annoying.

    Looks good. A great start.

    Gave you some green rep for disabling the validation. You can put it back up in the next couple of days.

    Cheers, I've approved them all except the adult one. I should have said no adult sites. Sorry, I'll have to fix that when I get home too.

    thx for adding my sites. as for the adult url directory, its your choice wether you accept or not, as there are many that will and do as it offers NO nudity at all on the site.

    thx

    Actually I'm not sure that the reciprical linking thing is working? I did a test adding a reciprical to my site and it says the link can't be found. Am I missing something? The link is definitely there.
