    We are using quite a few plugins and a unique design.

    Also check out the "Companies" section where we will be adding more companies shortly and the products section. They feature a proprietary search function with photos, videos and other information such as "Tagged posts"

    Any suggestions will be appreciated and considered for the next site update.

    Make the width smaller. It all doesn't fit on my screen without having to scroll to the right. I'd also make the images in the posts smaller, they are abnormally large.

    Lowco, the images are actually taken off of major blogs such as Engadget, Gizmodo, etc and are the same sizes most of the major blogs are using these days. Although we plan on going to smaller sizes soon. What resolution are you using btw on your screen?

    Thanks Everyone, we appreciate it. Yes we definitely need more inbound links, however we have always been big believers that build quality content is the most important first step, once we have 1000 posts (400 right now) we will start a link building campaign. With that said our articles rank well with over 30,000 pageviews a month and 99% of that traffic comes from SERP.

    Navigation bars don't respond to mouse cursor, probably you should work over it , as it's usability problem.

    Thanks everyone. The site will be getting a tweak this weekend bringing it to 980 pixels instead of 1033px. Also working on super caching the site to speed up load times. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hey your blog is crisp and the colors blend is perfectly. The content is really good. Did you design this or is it a template? One suggestion, include an option for people to Add or Share your blog. You have that option in the post footer. I see you are using AddtoAny service.

    Overall, excellent! I have bookmarked it check it later.
