On the entertainment page, there is an issue with the text. If you take a look at the www.w3schools.com HTML tutorial, it has some good information on floating images so that your text will flow around the image. Also, on all of the pages maybe you could put a space between the left side of the screen and the text, so that the text isn't against the edge of the screen. It makes things feel a bit crowded. The web site looks nice, but I had a hard time telling what the content was, or the purpose of the web site without going to far or spending alot of time trying to figure it out. The picture on the home page is an awesome attention getter if your demographic is the same as myspace.com's is.

same with what jumpenjuhosaphat said, you might want to add more padding to the text on the left most column. Also the date is too close to the border, both on IE and FF. I dunno it just feels weird seeing it there.

the search image (magnifying lens) is too far from the search box and there's no search button, nothing wrong with that just take note that some naive users still depend on buttons.

I suggest making the text links on top more interesting. Also, you might want to add a few more information about your site on the main page.

good luck!

Hey guys,

I like the style of the site it clean and uncluttered. Couple of points on the technical side,

you are validating to XHTML (and you are valid!)but you are still using table for the layout, I would definitely advise switching to CSS layout and only use tables for tabular data.

This provides much better for accessibility and also can save much work if you decide to change the graphic theme at a later date

(did you change the navigation?) Also, their are some words in the background behind the hottie...Meet ?????......Express ??????.......Get ??????
Your google ads are covering the image. And I noticed this time it hesitated while loading the images, and I'm on a fast connection. I am viewing on a 800x600 screen.

Sorry, I mean that there are some words that get cut off by the google ads when I view your page. I should say now, I like the site, and it looks really good. I didn't mean to be rude in my last posting by only pointing out the things that are negative. As far as I'm concerned, I like you website.

Looks pretty good but too much advertisement... covers the whole page almost.
