    Politcal Disgust is (a)live and will be growing at http://www.politicaldisgust.com

    There will be multiple guests making new posts on the blog. The site is for people like myself who find themselves without a clear home on the political landscape and are disgusted in general by the BS.

    Political Disgust - POLITICAL DISGUST

    Site is created using WordPress. Installed a custom theme AND THEN customized it more. Have added a ton of features and more to come.

    All comments here on the site are welcome and encourage.
    I also invite you to post on the blog.

    Thanks

    political blogs are a big way to get traffic, so many bloggers are very opinionated about politics and it is likely they will be commenting on posts regularly

    that is what we are hoping. so far we have already been getting traffic and we have literally done very little while setting everything up. good stuff so far.

    I spent a few minutes looking around, didn't see a thing.

    It looks great. Perhaps you could include more stories from other sites to add content more frequently.

    Hmm, sorry I don't follow politics online. Had you asked about tech news or celebrity gossip on the other hand..

    Hmm, with politics online, if you hang around Digg.com for a few days you'll probably have all types of politics related sites to check from, if you go through some of the links there. They're well into tech stuff, but politics too. Your site looks cool anyway, love some of the quotes at the top aswell.

    Thanks eon. Before making that animated header I looked at about 1000 amazing/funny quotes before picking the 25 we used. It is amazing the crap that comes out of the mouth's of the .... world leaders throughout history.

    Thanks hermit. I appreciate the feedback.

    I just added an "Advertise" page and would love some feedback on that page - http://politicaldisgust.com/?page_id=42
    Don't worry about the actual prices, those are going to change and I just put something there so the page will look complete. What do you think.

    for the animated header, try to have the quotes change at a slower pace... remember that not everyone can read fast ... just a tip... :)

    I just slowed it down for the second time yesterday at someone else's suggestion, lol. I think it is now at 5 second per quote. there are 20 or 25 quotes and the goal would be that it appears that there is a different quote, and then rotating after that. How slow would you suggest?
