    Hey guys - I've been working on my first (hopefully) money maker project. I'm looking for comments/criticism/questions/suggestions/etc..

    I went through the trouble of setting up wildcard sub domains (I read these get indexed as separate entries?) yet google has yet to index the sub domains - any suggestions for that?

    Also, how are the meta tags, color scheme, and user interface? I'm trying to target newbs (like myself) that aren't so familiar with computers.

    Thanks so much for taking a look - been reading the site for 6 months now. Hopefully it's paid off.

    i don't think you need a subdomain for each category/page.
    for examplex, no need to have contact.domain.tld page

    No idea on the Google thing except to say I've never heard of that before in my life and my sites are always indexed fully by the major search engines once they've been around enough/established. I just have searchpagenames.php and it seems to be fine.

    The positioning of your article headers does not work in IE6, only in Firefox, they all appear in the middle of the text and so do your dividing lines. This needs to be corrected as IE6 is by far the most popular browser still even if we don't like it, we have to design for it. Same for two of your other pages too, unintended positioning problems crop up in IE6.

    The logo doesn't grab me too well and the whole site feels very basic although that may be your intention. I just wouldn't use it because it doesn't appeal to me. It feels very much like an open source software site designed by a techie quite quickly to promote their thing. As the previous guy site, feels generally too heavy.

    Interview part on one of your pages..bright red and bright blue? on a dark gray background? It's just totally ewwww ;) Makes my eyes scream and run for a dark room to rest in...

    Thanks for the feedback guys - I know the colors are lame so I'll work on them today. I'll also correct the red/blue interview portion, too.

    Also - I noticed that problem with IE at well. IE7 has corrected the problem, so how the hell do I fix it for IE6? Doesn't sound like a problem on my end (it's HTML 4.01 compliant!) so I'm open to any suggestions on a work around.

    Thanks again guys - this place is awesome.

    Well IE6 is simply quite terrible with CSS rendering. You can search Google for probably 1000s of pages on this topic, try "css rendering issues in ie6" or something and go from there. IE7 fixes most of this and has become my browser of choice but IE6 is god awful and should be burnt :p
