    I think you should change the template. Try also to reduce the number of ads and avoiding repeatedly using the bold font for all the links because all these can be very distracting.

    It's a decent site, however, it seems there are more advertisements then actual information. This is quite off-putting, and as a visitor I wouldn't stay long at your site because of this. Cut back on the advertisements and create more content.

    You have some information on your site that could be better organized and elaborated. I would definitely take the time to create various pages, and spread out your advertisements on these pages. Each page should be dedicated with a specific type of content, and with good SEO keywording, you will gain more views via search engines and your ads will be great aligned to the actual content on your site.

    Good foundation for a site, but I would strive to create a more streamlined, and informative, website!!!

    I think the design could be better, you should add more colors into
    the color scheme and remove some of the ads, there are too many
    ads on the page, you should try to add more content.

    Perhaps you can play a little bit with hierarchy and typography.

    Instead of a newspaper article as your theme, why not change it to a magazine article...its more appealing I guess

    The left side is all messed up in Chrome.
    It could use a little modern touch.

    Good Concept. Good website. The dark bold font is a bit too "aggressive" to the eye. A colored background with a colored font would enhance the overall look and design.

    :)

    its very bad.. I'm sorry to be honest...

    it looks like it was built by a 12 y.o... the ads down the left hand are all over the place in FF..

    and it just looks cheaply & quickly done... get another template or maybe even switch to using WP or Joomla as the CMS..

    good luck with it all.
