    You only have ads on the side. You need to try a variation.

    I plan use the website more or less as a directory/home base for the YouTube videos. For now I think the only content will be videos... It doesn't make sense to me to provide a text version of the lessons, because learning math problems by reading their description isn't as natural as hearing someone talk through them in my opinion. Once the two current subjects have complete YouTube playlists, I will move onto more subjects, eventually hosting enough tutorials that you could use the site the entire way through an engineering degree.

    I am considering providing problem sets, practice tests, etc.. on the website as expanding on the video lessons.

    ceekeigh, what type of variation do you suggest? Are you referring to text as well as only images?

    Dude - ya really need to use wordpress or a new template - it looks terrible... hard to navigate and even harder to SEO. It may have been alright 10 years ago - but it looks extremely out dated... until you update or change to a new website / cms - you will struggle.

    So I switched it around slightly, making the opening page a blog, I'll see about switching the top image later... but my new problem is that below the first embedded video in the post there is a 250x250 Adsense square which should easily fit, but it is displaying a scroll bar like its too wide... someone know why thats happening? is that not an appropriate place for an ad?
