    the site as a hole is to basic, light blue on white will prove hard for a lot of people to read for long.

    home page, maybe a good wright up ? im sure the trek fans like a good read, a picture or two (not to much) to break it up and a bit of eye candy to go with the content, more links i.e latest what ever, most viewed, blog, forum, news letter sign up, social network links.

    and your google adsense is only showing public service ads

    Hm...why don't you try with a nice free wordpress template? It does the job well and you don't have to worry about seo, graphics, etc

    I agree with you keith about the colouring though im not sure about the write up as I wanted to add a lot of images because I feel that grabs attention for the very first impression. I love the social network I love that idea and I think putting the most viewed episode on the home page will be a great idea.

    Im not certain why google ads are public service as they are not when I open them. Thanks for your feedback.

    I never used wordpress previously.

    Color is okay. The logo at the top of the page is pixely in my browser. The page also seems like it is missing a lot, maybe you could fill it out with some information or descriptions.

    I would definitely pick a black background with stars, and put a nice picture of a spaceship or Picard up there.

    I love the idea of putting Picard or Startrek picture Zikros, that way it will give the impression its suppose to at first glance. Thanks for mentioning the logo SCWEB, I really dont like it myself, Do you think its a good idea to have a picture associated with the logo or just plain text. Another area of discussion ;)

    I just updated the homepage to make it simple and direct to the point. Added some images and made understandable directly.

    Can anyone advise what they think of the new home page.

    Yes, it looks better. I'd put up text under your your logo "download your episodes here" and also make the picture buttons become better visible on mousehover. Good luck!
