    I spent about 2 month on this one and it seems like I didn't waste my time and money.
    I don't want to tell you the main topic, just take a LOOK and your feedback will be appreciated.

    looks beautiful - nice job..
    I would blend the ads just a LITTLE better - maybe match them with your background.. I would have also used dashes (-) in the URLS instead of underscores (_);
    2 questions:
    1) what did you build it with ?
    2) did you write all the content (is it original) ?

    I tried to find ads that could fit in that background color, and it seems that this is the only one color that will match the background.

    Didn't get this one.
    1 Pablo WYSIWYG software was used.
    2 Not all of that. I and a few more fellows helped to make this website look pretty juicy. About 3/5 of all articles are original and that's why I had to write "Terms of Use." Another 2/5 include a lot of our own added thoughts, and as a result can't be classified as original.

    Well, I tried to do something different this time.

    A fairly simple and content-rich site, good job mate.

    Actually the website was just submitted a few days ago to all search engines, so the status is pending.

    The main Idea was all about simplicity and lightness.

    I like the design. It takes forever to load though.
    For those asking, I think the content is original since it has a few typos and grammatical mistakes. :D

    HiTech, let's test your sight. When you open your site and look at the deceptive blue bar of your browser. Isn't there something you would like to improve/change about it? :D

    I am not familiar with Pablo nor I am going to familiarize myself with it but looks like you'll have to switch to something else like WordPress or Joomla...

    As for the design, it is nice. I would personally choose a point of special attraction, a point where a bouncy visitor would click. For example, I am not too keen on your topic and as nothing jumps at me straight away, I might bounce. Can you add an accent?

    I quite like the "Helpful" bar. If you could change its colour and push it up above the bend, it would be spot on!

    And then, if I may: you have to review your SEO. At the moment if I was a bot, I would think that your content is too far away from the top (you may wish to embed the STYLE in a css file) and that you have a site about "your f" or "f that"... I especially like F that! it is even better than Bugger that!

    The site looks great, well done with the design. One thing, however, is that on every page except your homepage, the link to the forum and the blog doesn't work, it just links to http://.

    if you can find the background color codes in your HTML or CSS, you can use those as custom-colors in Adsense when creating your ad-unit to match the background perfectly.

    I think the adverts blend in really well with the content (which there appears to be a lot of!).
    Good layout, nice job.

    Good to see lots of unique content.

    The adverts also blend in with the site's design well.
