It is a good domain if you want to develop a site. Its easy to remember and makes sense as a brand name but I wouldn't expect anyone to pay more than $50 for it. Honestly, unless it is a single word domain, a brand, or a highly searched phrase a domain alone simply isn't worth that much.
I plan on developing it and yes, a domain is only worth as much as the website that backs it up unless it is a single keyword. The site is only a week and a half old. It is on Google, however I recently switched domains. I notified google, they estimated a good month before the website is up to speed and all pages updated. Long time.
Well, I just took a look and I like your site but it does look a bit plain and generic. Maybe put some effort or money into developing a distinguishable logo. Also I know you just started but getting lots and lots of high quality content is key. I know it can be time consuming so perhaps try partnering up with a trust worthy friend to help facilitate discussion in the comments and write editorials for you.
