Review a new site of mine:

    I just got this site created (finished) today; it lacks content at the moment, but I'd like to get peoples' impression as to its layout and design:

    http://www.factsjokesnfun.com/

    Criticism is happily welcome, I usually don't ask for reviews, but this is one of the few sites I do that is meant for fun instead of business.

    Thanks for the comments! Some stuff isn't functional still, but its presentable at least :)

    Not sure where to get some of the content (jokes, quotes, etc) but I'm adding some features to it that'll make it pretty cool.

    VERY nice!! it's very kid friendly

    you could make the Submit A Joke and Submit A Picture button pop out a bit more they just kinda blend in

    As most have said, very good work... But as you said also, it is not completed yet, I can see some empty boxes for example under Joke of the Day title at the homepage.
    I also entered to http://www.factsjokesnfun.com/pictures/newest/1 and I don't know why the picture was shown twice
    Good luck with your new website

    I like it. Just a couple of ideas:
    - Hide query errors: Quotes > Most popular jokes gave me an error.
    - Show only one funny picture per page. I found it confusing having more than one with all the other stuff going on at the same time.

    There are only a few pictures on the site, so thats the problem. It is an issue that will be looked at this week. I've seen a few bugs come up on the site. Jokes not in paragraph format on the home page, resizing of images, etc. More on the overall design is what I'm interested in - is it too "squishy" - should I change it to 100% instead of forced 800x600?
