    HELLO

    RealLifePixel.com

    How much should I charge for an ad?
    How long should I run the advert for?

    I will have advertisements on the cam
    and banners on the site.

    What are your initial thoughts?

    What do you think of the concept?
    What do you think of the design?

    What is cool about this site?
    What could be done better?

    If this was your site,
    what would you do differently?

    If you have any questions,
    please feel free to ask.

    Any feedback you could provide
    would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    I like the Idea but you should have taken time to develop a more professional look; although, the unprofessional look sort of makes the site fun. The scroll bar blog thing on the side is very outdated. You probably could have integrated the webcam into wordpress and that would have made updating the site less cumbersome.

    Good luck

    A penny per 10 visitors. So, if you had a million visitors, you could charge $10,000 for the add.

    Thank you your feedback, Tekntoant. . . . I will continue trying to find a happy medium between professional/amatuerish. I don't want anything that looked like what everyone else is doing. I think so many blogs all look the same because everyone is essentially using the same set of progams to create them. . . . Someone else told me they didn't like the scroll bar blog thingy either. I think I'm going to try something different there . . . How is updating the webcam "cumbersome"?

    The webcam is not cumbersome I was referring to the blog. Not just for you to update but for the people that have to read it. To get an idea of what you were doing I had to scrolled down to the bottom as well, so you should think about putting a mission statement (not just saying that you are giving away money) somewhere in plain view so people know what’s going on and why you are doing this. Your blog is in an iframe as well which is not good for search engines. Also if you know a little html/css you can really produce a pretty cool and unique blog with wordpress. Wordpress is so versatile that some people make web stores out of them. It’s just a thought anyway. You should also be pushing this on myspace, they eat this kind of stuff up. I can send you out a couple hundred messages (not bulletins) for a nominal fee of course.

    My best advice is to stick around here and read, and read a lot of post and you will learn a lot from people that make a living in this industry. See you around.

    I like the idea of this site too. Is there any similar sites online or this one is unique?

    I am going to give WordPress a try! I will stick around and continue to learn. Thanks! Also, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only kind of site I could think of like this. . . . I do need to add a mission statement. Thanks! All great feedback.

    hey RFP

    if the image and the words on left top are considered to be a header they are very bad, design something

    I think the right pane of your site is a little wide than it could be

    put you site's links first ando only then the ads

    the site is CSSless, add some styling to it

    Hmm..... It's a blog isn't it? I would like to see more text rather than a sentence per post. Anyway, it's quite a cool idea (one sentence per post), it's only that I like to read more.

    The design seems ok, but I can't seem to figure out why you would want to just link to news stories with a one or two sentence comment. maybe i'm missing something.

    Hello!

    I've been kicking this idea around for a while,
    I had an open website, so why not?

    What do you think of it?

    I kept the design ultra-simple because I like it that way.
    I like websites where it is very, very minimal;
    Just the bare necessities that you need to communicate the idea.

    Any feedback would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can keep it simple, but it should look inviting, I think.

    Can I presume you are going to take a new picture every time someone donates money to you? Without an explanation of how your site works or what you plan on doing with the donations, I can't see too many people coughing up for this idea.

    The world may hate George Bush, but free speech means people can express their opinions without having to pay anyone for the privilege. Just something to keep in mind.

    You're almost there but the idea is not being put into practice quite right.

    Think of a slightly different way to do this.

    Anyhow the idea isn't bad at all.

    You'll make more money trowling 7-11s and asking people for spare change.
    You need to be more creative than what you currently have.

    :rolleyes:
