    Altogether not too bad. I would change the "find recipe" search box in the middle to another colour on the page. This would bring the website together a bit more.

    You also need to seotize the site in places

    GoodLuck

    I really, really like your site.
    Gets me hungry and that's exactly what its supposed to do...congratulations.

    PS - on the top right-hand corner there seems to be some javascript(?) Not sure, coz I only see a coffee cup.
    You might want to have a look at it.

    Well done. Great site.

    Notting - would you be so kind as to point out the places that could use the seo-tizing?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hey! It really does look good and the name is really catchy too.

    What might be nice is probably somewhere in the About Us, if you could put the story behind the name, it be cool.

    I just wished I had designed my recipes site like that :) Good job

    Headings:
    welcome
    cooking tips
    current questions

    Ideally these should be text on the back ground colour. However you should at least give these pictures "alt" tags.

    You should put "alt" tags on all of the pics. Put keywords in them

    The links at the bottom of the page should have "title" tags. These are the ones that make a cream box come up with text in it when you hover the mouse over it, put keywords in them.

    By putting title and alt tags on all of the images and links on the page you will have your keywords in the html a lot more times.

    The top header Contains text that ideally should be text rather than an image of txt (bad grammer I know). The SEs would be able to read txt but they cant read "image text".

    Good luck seotizing your page!

    Hi eveenend. I like the domain name, I know some people dont like long names, but I think if it works, it works.

    I really like the colours, its wholesome and fresh.
    A lot of recipe sites are 'homemade' looking, and very basic, so yours is a great change to see.

    Looks good. I like the colours, and you have great pictures up there.
    I'd get rid of the "Real. Good. Living." image though - it seems vertically stretched and looks quite out of place.

    GLD, the image IS vertically stretched b/c I stretched it. I didn't realize it was that noticeable though. I'll have to give it a second look.

    Thanks,

    PSA = Public Service Ads ( Ads by google, if no other advertisements for the page can be found )
