    HI friends,

    I've been working on my site for about two years, content, design...etc and add a daily content.
    Now I want a really honest answer: If you somehow found this site http://www.tutorialsroom.com (through Google search, a friend told you about it, a link....etc) Would you bookmark it?, and why?

    The honest answer would really help me, thank you....

    The site appears to be a great resource, I read through a couple articles quickly and they seemed to be very helpful. This would be the main reason I would bookmark you. You have created many articles with long tail keyword titles which focus on that particular problem. I would think your bookmark rate is pretty good. Also I noticed that you added the social bookmarks, but I would add an add to favorites link in yor top nav bar as well. Hope this helps ;)

    Great site but I would consider making the banner graphic better and getting a really nice logo - something that sticks in your head.. the header to me lets the overall look down.. otherwise great site and good resource for sure. Good luck with it mate

    I wouldn't bookmark it imo, the site seem dull to me. I would highly recommend working on the design. btw the favicon is ugly :D

    I would bookmark it if it had articles that were of particular interest to me... but that varies from person to person.

    Again.... i agree with the others here.. spend some money on a logo or branding... especially for a photoshop tutorial site... some mirrored text doesn't make me go "these people know design"

    After reviewing many of the major sites -like google, yahoo, msn,cnn...etc- I've found out one thing common among them all: Design Simplicity! More complicated designs is what most amateurs do and that what I took into account while making my new design.

    I would work on the logo, especially since this is a graphic design site. And please, don't make it the typical logo with a reflection and a bit of gloss, as those are no longer memorable.

    As for content it is good, but I don't think I would bookmark the site as I didn't find anything particularly interesting there. Nonetheless, a very good site for those just starting out in photoshop and trying to learn some tips and tricks ragarding graphic design.
