    Please review my first curation site http://www.A1Social.com. It would probably be better in a niche but it is amazing how fast it gets indexed, especially by Google.

    You need a logo made.

    Agreed, this is just an experiment right now to see if headway can be made in the 'social news' niche. I'll pay for a logo if I see a good result with indexing. Thanks for having a look, comment appreciated.

    The aim of the site is to build traffic at first and it is already doing that. I put in the occasional post of my own but it is pretty time consuming to think of and write opinions for so many articles. The idea is to use it to aggregate content ie. try to pick the latest daily news items in several categories that can get an audience. By watching the analytics and stats you soon get a feel for what is being read and what isn't. Once the audience has built to a good level then I can start placing a few ads, posts and press releases relating to my own money sites.

    What sort of work? I like it simple as is [except for the missing logo], the Weaver theme is nice and clean - easy to read with no distractions. What would you suggest? I am open to any constructive criticism.
    Thanks.

    What color do you suggest? Blue and grey shades are best, in my humble opinion, for making people feel comfortable when reading.
