    Took a few days, got a lousy template, had to eliminate that, and then check to make sure everything worked good.
    So, give me the good, the bad, and the ugly on my site and how to improve the look and feel of it.

    The background blue is a bit too intense for me. Maybe its ok on other people's monitors.
    Its a useful tool though.

    For a temporary thing...I did not want all white.

    Getting a few templates made for the site...will check each after I get them and I am back on the net after Easter.

    Keep in mind, I just threw this up to get the site live so people could come and see it, use it, find errors, etc.

    looks bad, but usability is pretty alrite.

    ust that there are quite ALOT of these kind of sites out there these days, and the one that looks the most professional will get my visit. (i suppose thats for most pple too?)

    Yeah, of course it looks bad now.
    But improvements are on the way.

    Yes, I know that are thousands of such sites out there.
    Why once I have a good look to the site, it will be promoted heavily.

    Yo, so good tools, but the design is very plain, the blue blackground killed my eyes. I don't know, I like the content and tools but maybe try making a logo and go from there. Add some graphics instead of a bunch of text. Good luck.

    You don't need graphics. Just could make a css-menu with CSS Menu Generator.

    Try a less harsh blue, maybe this one: #92c4ff.

    Good luck, Dawg! :)

    Just finished messing around and got this template loaded up.
    Let me know what you all think of this one.

    Ps...find any errors on any pages, let me know.
    Everything should be working.

    The description in the middle of the page is moving up and down between pages.

    Move it up to be level with the Menu link on the left and the instructions on the right.

    Consider changing the color of the description title or the text of the description. I was thinking making the text the same color as your links.

    Hope this helps.
