    I think I have finally finished messing around with my site and could use some feedback on what you like about it and why you don't like about it. As well as maybe some stuff that you think could be added.

    Thanks for the feedback :)

    Site design looks clean and flows nicely IMO...

    Only bit of advise I would give is to look into re-designing your banner image... something a little more eye-catching would make your site really POP!

    I think you may use a CDN to speed up the web page loading time, and try some better caching techniques for faster execution

    fight club is a great movie :)

    site looks good, i'm actually working on something quite similar for a client. i do agree about the banner image, and you may want to take the time to proofread the site.

    website is nice but my advice is that you should change the background color of your google adsense ads.;)

    Site looks great!

    Not sure why but on my Firefox 3.5.2, the site is perfectly centered in my window except for the blue footer which seems to be full to the left and not centered with the rest.

    See the attached screenshot.

    nice site though yeah look at the footer - seems like its outside of the container div or not margin:0 auto'd. I like the jQuery though good work.

    1. Footer alignment. Also you may want to make your footer more interesting. Gone are the days of worrying about vertical scrolling, footer is the new header! ;)
    2. Header should be 'bling-bling'! On a social portal like this, look-and-feel become more important than say, a corporate site. Show them what you got!
    3. Speed - I think it was because there was no cache on my machine that the site was a little slow. But it still keeps loading something. That my friend is something that annoys a lot of people.

    Thank you all for the feedback all of it is great and I have taken notes on it :)

    I am working on the footer since the footer is encoded it is a bit harder for me to work with and I can't really find in the CSS where it is telling it to go to the left like that. I'll keep looking and playing around with it.

    The load times I was looking last night for a good plugin for wordpress that would help with that and I thought I found some but... It kept breaking the site and throwing a 500 error on me so I don't know. I did find a site that gave some examples of where I can clean up some code to save some load times so I plan on working on that.

    Thanks again for all the feedback!
