And I can't call this a masterpiece, but I think it is reflective of current web design trends: http://bodybalanceliving.com/

And again I would just say look at the sites that art "hot" and look at some of the free tutorials out here. Some are really useful.

You really should choose fonts more carefully, the glittering website title doesn't look well.

The part with "Expats World Community" occupies a lot of space.

And one more thing I do not like - ads location - it seems not though-out.

Ok then what should i use for the font on the logo?? What type of logo suits a fun site besides rainbow colored LOL

some said about the size of the font previously but it at 12px already and i should leave it up to the viewers t use the browser to rezise the fonts

Not attacking "the usage of language", but the only logical explanation for this "misunderstanding" in my eyes is that we are having a comminucation breakdown. I say something, you misunderstand, you say something and I misunderstand :) It's okay. It happenings. Best of luck to you with your site.

Just so people know, the logo with the rainbow colored lights is designed to have a Graffiti feel. Its not supposed to have a classical headline journal font, and so a handwriting feel was the aim.

and its a CMS, its modified for quick volume management and not masterpiece single pages. Quick, functional and yet appealing.

I understand the principles behind what you are trying to do. I guess I'm just suggesting some changes to make it more appealing :) So that your visitors will really want to sign up and keep coming back. :)

the loading speed is great but the site falls apart rather badly in IE6. it will take some fixing.........

I see from the above comments that you're quite fond of your all-colors-under-the-sun scheme but I have to say visually I find it frustrating...... there's a bit of a science to matching colors. Not just everything goes together :D

that said, of course if you like it - keep it. good luck anyhow!!
