    I have just launched iTutor.info, a place where you can find links to hundreds of programming tutorials on MS Access, AJAX, ASP/ASP.NET, C/C++/C#, CSS, HTML, Java, Javascript, MsSQL, MySQL, Perl/CGI, PHP, Visual Basic, and XML.

    Please visit the site and let me know how it is and how I can further improve it. Thanks a lot! Once again, the url is http://itutor.info/ -- see you there! :)

    I'm sorry, but it loaded so slow for me today that it timed out on 2 tries.

    Sorry about that, Dreamhost is down at the moment and so all of my sites hosted there are down as well :/

    Thanks for checking it out though, I'll post here once DH is back up.

    Yikes, I would switch out of dreamhost if I were you... (hopefully you have your files all backed up offline). go-daddy has virtually no downtime ;)

    Thanks for the suggestions regarding switching host, though aside from this downtime, there hasn't been any major ones so I'm fairly satisfied with them. Might consider your suggestions though in the future :)

    Btw, the site is back up, so you can take a look at it now -- http://itutor.info/

    Thanks a lot! :D

    Yes it is!

    Okay so.. the layout is well organized :) I'm also liking your logo design.

    Here are my suggestions:
    - Try adding more colors? OR atleast different shades of blue to the site.. it looks too monochromatic at the moment
    - For your ASP icons, etc: I would add a bevel effect to them so they stick out a bit (It'll look neat, trust me ;) )
    - Is that image beside your ad legal?...
    - I would sneak in one more adsense unit on your left bar

    Thanks for the review, added some green for you :)

    - I actually wanted it to be monochromatic, like what I did with my other sites hehe... but who knows I might add in some more shades in the future.
    - I'll try to do that when I get more time with my Photoshop :)
    - I've seen that style in a lot of sites so I assumed it was okay. Maybe I should consult with Google...
    - Sounds nice, although i wouldn't want to crowd it with too much ads. :)

    Thanks again, your review was well appreciated!

    Great site. I would DEFINITELY visit that. I even bookmarked it.

    More colors though, it looks so bland, and maybe a domain change. Most people won't remember a .info

    Thanks for the review, BlackCoder! :)

    Hehe, I know -- a lot of people have said that I should add in more colors, but I'd really like to have it stay monotonic. And about the domain, the .com version was of course already taken, but I really wanted the name, so I'm settling with the .info.

    I think BlackCoder hit the nail on the head: More colors, and maybe a domain change.

    Looks like you have some good stuff though, bookmarked :D
