    Hello guys

    Please take a moment to review my site at www.publicarticles.net

    Still missing to add a newsletter function to it, as well as getting it
    optimized for the SE's.

    Any ideas welcome.

    Have to say - very interesting content on your site there! Keep up the good work. Site bookmarked ;)

    Only litle problem I saw was that at the bottom of the articals, you have a rating thing there, but no comment box but on the page when you vote, says Comment : N/A. Might want to check that if thats a important part of your site.

    I like the color scheme and logo! What I would do is add a light grey background to the left table of your site so it "seperates" it from the content area :)

    added a light grey background to the categories area, makes it stand out more, works well.

    I think the category list on the left is neverending. But it is probably good.

    Very nice layout and color scheme, although I am not a fan of orange fonts.

    My comment, the non-bolded orange used in the left nav is hard to read.

    From a business perspective the site doesnt say what its purpose is, what it does or how you can use it. What about an intro?

    Good idea thudufushi, maybe I should make the category links more clear. I agree on the intro part also, I better check that out. Thanks
