    The website is running slow:( otherwise it's designed and managed pretty well.

    Since .com is available, IMO you could easily pick that up? Go to Godaddy and enter coupon GoDaddy99 and you get 1 year registration for $0.99 (they have this special promo running now).

    yes I can take .com but the website is now PR2 if I get the new .com and shifted the content then will the PR remain same?

    Quick question, is your audience international or regional, if it's international I would modify the copy to make it more international.

    It's not that slow..

    The design is nice but the background isn't perfect.. black doesn't match your theme

    I'm not sure I'm looking at the same site everyone else is, but I have to be perfectly honest, and please don't take this as a personal attack against you:

    The site is crap.

    When I say that I'm talking from a marketing perspective - I assume you're trying to make money with the site based on the very awkwardly placed banner ads on the page or the very obvious link to Plum Graphix (I assume for a backlink?). If this is really just something you're doing so your friends and family can keep up with you then it really doesn't matter. But somehow I think you had a different motive?

    I'm not sure why anyone else gave it glowing reviews other than just to increase their post numbers, but as someone who reviews websites professionally I'm going to be completely straight with you so you can get an HONEST opinion from someone who would like to see you succeed.

    First, the template is something from the 1980's. Scrap it, go to a site like themeforest .net and spend a few bucks getting a professional looking template.

    Second, NO ONE puts the date and time on their websites any more. It serves no purpose and screams that you have no idea what you're doing...

    Third, what is your site about? If it's just about you I'm going to give you some marketing advice that may hurt a little but will help you in the long run:

    Your customers really could care less about YOU - the only thing they care about is how can you help THEM. You ramble on about personal stuff like "I'm very generous & giving, often selfless. I'm kind-natured & sweet, which is found to be attractive by many" which really amounts to nothing. This is the kind of stuff you put in your profile on a dating site profie, not a web site. Again, if your goal is to meet a wife or just make friends, then it's on track. But you wouldn't be worried about Page Rank then would you? ;)

    So...

    If you want to make money with a web site, here's what I suggest...

    Start from scratch, decide what you want to sell, do some research on the topic and THEN create your site. Simply sticking a bunch of banner ads on a page isn't going to do the job. Your site has to be about something OTHER people care about and will spend money on.

    Next, get a professional template that was created with the new marketing styles in mind. Load the site with valuable content that your customers care about and not just a rant about yourself.

    I hope you didn't take any of this as a personal attack - I just felt the comments should be about helping YOU and not just adding another number to my posts like some others obviously did. I think it will help you more.
