    you should definetly get a new template design pm including a header and add more content.

    the first page is very important because it the first impression of the website so make sure to make it look good.

    if you need a webdesigner pm me

    Better beware since you got a "big" copyright name at your domain. Please mention at footer that your site not associate with disney. :)

    you gotta do three essential things, things of great importance that will revive your site.

    one - new design, make it more professional looking

    two - add new content that is thought provoking and controversial as well as interesting and worth commenting on content. This will increase the eyeballs that you get on your site.

    three - focus on the right circle of people. The ones that are looking for content similar to yours.

    Sell it or close it before Disney see the domain name, and the pinched disney copyrighted images you have on the header!

    A friend of mine made a site with lyrics from Disney movies a few years ago. Whereas it was successful, he finally closed it after having received too many emails from Disney.
    I guess as long as you stay under the radar, it's ok, but what the point then?
    My advice: change the domain name and redirect all your traffic to the new one.

    I would add more content to the first page- right now you get the feeling that you can't access info without signing up. On the front page, promote the fact that you have lyrics and a forum, etc .

    The site design is not very inviting. I would gte some graphics developed - nothing to infringe on copyright, but something that evokes the Disney spirit. Maybe find out if you can freely use pictures of Disney DVDs or something.

    Add a contest, some younger content on the blog and use a different font on the lyrics page. Fix your links on the Entertainment page and add some content.

    Hope that helps!
