Thanks. I know but have no control of what images people upload. I only have control of what to resize the image to.

Unless there is a way to do that?

Most of text on the site is links, right? It looks like plain text with link color. If you must have all those links (a hole bunch), I will prefer to make it a list or something.

or maybe you could categorize them, or you could have about 20 links on one site and then at the bottom there was something like this:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. next ->

If you get it? Divide the links on several sites instead of that long, long site. I`ll guess that peaple who looks at it will for the first not find what they are looking for and second of all they will get bod of reading downwords.

Not bad of a site. Good use of whitespace. I just feel that it is very wordy for a front page. Perhaps using categories so you breakdown the information for visitors would help. Other than that, it looks good.

Thanks for all the kind comments but I dont think you all are understanding the purpose of the site. I do appreciate any comment good or bad I will definately give any advice thought.

The purpose of the site:

Visitors are allowed to PROMOTE there ebay auctions, ebay stores, and or Myspace pages for free. The idea is that as new auctions, stores, or myspace pages are posted the rest are bumped down/over one until bumped off the page. This brings REPEAT TRAFFIC, ADVERTISING SALES, and SCRIPT SALES. I am selling lots of these scripts from my website.

It's not a bad design. The main thing I notice lacking on the design is alignment. The elements on the page are almost aligned - they just need a little push. That would really improve the design.

The second thing is - for people who don't use Ebay, MySpace, etc... (such as me) it's not apparent what the page is - or how it works. A short introductory paragraph explaining that would be helpful.

The only other thing I can suggest is the footer of your page can be condensed into just one line.

You got a great idea. Just needs a little work on the site.

Thanks, anyone have any ideas about the logo/banner? I was thinking a FLASH BUMP? or should it just stay the way it is?

As I've said, alignment is your biggest design flaw right now - and the logo is no exception. Line it up with something!

Nothing lines up - which makes the page look highly unorganized. All you have to do is move things around a tiny bit and it makes a huge difference.

Firefox. And it looks the same in IE.

Take a screenshot of your page and draw vertical and horizontal lines extending from the side of every page element. You'll see what I mean.

If you'll look you have that blue box at the top right. It doesn't line up with anything when it could easily line up with the box that is your main page.

You have the logo that's just not even centered perfectly and it doesnt line up with anything vertically.

The slogan alignment - random! The menu - random! The elements within the main box - still random!

My other comments was that the text in the footer could easy be shrunken to one line - and it would be much more effective. This would take 1 minute to change and you have not provided any objection.

I'm wondering... did you read what I wrote? Did you reflect on it? Do you plan to make any changes? Do you really want your site reviewed or are you just looking for extra traffic? I'd like to think I'm wrong but only you can decide.

How about some rollovers in your list of neverending links please that would make it much much easier, and then also the last link only shows halfway, it's hidden at the bottom ...

The white on black also seems a bit extreme to me, it sorta hurts my eyes when I look for too long ...

please check the w3c validator for your coding errors ... http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ype=Inline
