    Hi,

    I've just put up my mod_rewrite tutorial and resources site. I'm looking for some advice on what's good and what's not so good about it.

    Hopefully you can find the time to review my site. The URL is

    http://www.easymodrewrite.com

    Many thanks,
    Rodney

    It may be a good idea to write something about
    Ralf S. Engelschall who is the author of this module,
    and to make A:hover style color red.

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

    <style type="text/css">
    A:hover {color: red}
    </style>

    it would be better if you use a blog search, not the google.

    For your adsense banners, I would remove the borders so they don't stand out so much. Also, for the gradient on your header, I would make the opacity weaker (so a lighter gradient effect)

    Thanks for the comments.

    Artisan, I won't be writing anything on the author of the module - it's just a resource for webmasters. If anyone is interested in Ralf, I sure Google can do a better job than I could. It just wouldn't fit in with the rest of the site.

    addlinkurl, my content is not stored in a database and its not running off CMS/blog software. I could also code in a search function but I don't think it would be worth it. Hopefully if/when I get indexed by Google, the Adsense search should be a bit more useful.

    stickycarrots, thanks - glad you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any problems.

    8everything, good ideas. I've got rid of the borders in the body text and changed the border colour in the RHS to grey to match the other navigation boxes. I'm a bit confused - do you mean make the gradient more obvious or less obvious?


    Thanks again for your help.

    It's a great site, very useful. Just a few days ago I started studying mod_rewrite and regex etc. so your site went straight to Favourites.

    Don't have any mayor criticism about the design, ads are very nicely placed, you didn't overdo it, so in general - thumbs up.

    Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

    I need to work on SEO and getting a bit more traffic. This is the first site I've created from scratch so I'm not too sure where to go next. I've added it to social bookmarking sites, bought a pinned topic on a webmaster forum and been indexed by the SEs but it's not anywhere useful in the rankings yet. Obviously that will take time though, I guess...

    @ zeoncitizen, what were you looking for? The examples are really just code snippets that can be copied and pasted. If you understand it all, there's nothing left to explain - everything is documented well by Apache. It's more aimed at the beginner level where explanations are needed, rather than the more advanced level where you the docs give you all the details you need.
