    Just updated the design so it's not so boring, but it's still not the best looking I guess :p

    It's pretty nice, functional and easy to use.

    My only problem was the fixed width (800px i guess).

    Many users nowdays have larger widescreen monitors and using a small fixed width is annoying as it leaves masses of wasted space on the left and right.

    The site seems a little too business-like. I would use a theme that reflects your content.

    You don't need to use WordPress but here a design that I think would work better: http://randaclay.com/themes/bluebird/

    The site looks good, the ad placement and the layout is great.

    I think it would benefit from a few images or graphics.

    Thanks for feedback.

    You think it'd be better fluid design?

    It's not wordpress btw, I custom made.

    Very simple but good looking site. Ad placements are also good. But the search box (top of the page) is not working.

    Nice idea and nice site.
    I would suggest:
    1) Add some colour to the content in the home page
    2) Change the copyright date in the foter to 2009.

    Best of luck with the site!

    Kind Regards
