    I have finally finished PCmaclin after about 10 days, it is a site dedicated to bringing you the latest and best computing news, reviews, tutorials, forums and blog posts, you can find it here: http://pcmaclin.com/

    Your opinions will be gratefully received, it is currently in beta so I am taking on board all ideas to change the site where it needs changing in the next 3 months.

    Thank you

    Site looks ok. No images on the index page makes it look a tad boring.

    Don't really like the placement of image adsense ads in that grey box over the title. The grey background looks misplaced.

    Also on widescreen. the left menu has a problem. a bit of it is duplicated to the right of the menu.

    Apart from that great site, with a good deal of content.

    Thank you for your feedback, the site is in beta so all ideas and problems reported will be investigated and sorted out, I will be changing the placement of the advertisements and there will be images added to each article and on the homepages.

    Can I suggest you use something like the e-mail riddler at Dynamic Drive (google it) rather than publish your e-mail address directly on the site as this will reduce the potential for spammers to get hold of your e-mail address.

    Perhaps remove the 'PCmaclin is best viewed in 1024 x 768 resolution' comment as people will view the site in whatever they're using - they won't change their resolution just to view your site.

    Other than that, I like the colour scheme and layout - it's very clear.

    Cheers, good tip about the email address thing, i have used it now in some places, there are places where the email address has to be active for legal reasons, privacy policies etc. i dont know about the resolution thing because a few sites have it, i'll see if i have any more comeback about that, if I do then i shall change it.
