    I would greatly appreciate any feedback on a little project I started working on yesterday.

    You can find it at www .firstdirectory.org

    I'm mostly looking for functionalty feedback or feature ideas, but layout and design remarks are welcome too!

    Feel free to submit a site to test that feature aswell, I'll remove it for you if you don't wish to keep it there. (But why would you not what your site in the directory? :) )

    Thanks a bunch!

    /Jon

    The sites currently listed were added by me testing things out, hence I skipped the backlink check on those.

    When a site is added the backlink is verified, and the PR of both the target URL and the backlink URL is verified and stored in the DB.

    Every 24h the backlinks are rechecked and the PR of both URL's updated.
    No action is applied to the automatic BL checker yet, but I was thinking about flagging the link disabled so it's not shown and sending a notifier to the submitter.

    What's your motivation of providing this if I may ask off-topic?

    Site looks nice and clean, bit small number of categories.

    My motivation is learning the trade! :)
    I have only created one website before, and this seemed to be a good way to get some PHP and MySQL practise.

    Very true indeed. The PHP Bible is highly recommended if you were'nt already using it!

    Ask a lot of questions and be open to trying new things.
