SITE REVIEW: Fishing Time

I am actually an amateur in web designs, have done up a few and some died along the way from the lack of maintenance which is one key point. I have recently started exploring using Blogs as a website. It’s a lot easier to update via posts and we do not need to do too much uploading.
My interests besides Graphic designs and web designs is fishing…. Hence why not combine both! …
I created these sites using blogging tools. Some HTML XML coding using Frontpage and dreamweaver…
Appreciate comments ..esp the pros …
Is my site too cluttered – usually that’s my problem …. Getting too many things in a space… well thank you guys in advance!

With so many code warnings, it's a Blog I would definitely never visit!

Your site is a pretty clean looking site which is appealing to the viewer. I would clean up the coding a bit.

Thanks for your comments ... and suggestions ... i will look into cleaning the coding ... cheers!

May i know why not?

I like the header, very catchy. I would suggest tidying the side bar. Theres alot going on, and can get confusing at times i.e. subscribe me and the search needs separating more.
Also the weather gadget window needs resizing.
Just organise the layout abit more, and im sure your onto a winner

THanks for the nice comments ... will attempt to modify them...thanks once again!

Haven't had chance to overhaul the sites ...but i wonder if you all find my ads too cluttered?

Not to sound harsh but the second site is pretty bad. The first one is alright with the header.

This is for the 1st site:
Stuff like this:

Makes the site look like it was made by a kid.
And what's up with the random tabs:

Stuff is all over the place...weather here...go daddy there, bids, bobber stopper,amazon...random links. Your need to organize.

And if you want an ad and pop-up free host try Awardspace.com It's completely free.

Also you need a links scheme... not just blue.

You have 172 errors...wow..Here

The site needs alot of work,

2nd Site:

This site needs alot more work than the first. You need content, not just 2 pages worth of blank space. And the background image of the fishing man cannot even be seen because the video. And the header of the 2nd site is too hard to read and does not follow any color scheme with the site.


And all my criticism is all constructive, sorry if it sounds mean...It's not, I mean well.

Ok that's a mouthful...i have started revamping the site..
not sure if i can get rid of the error codes.. and since it doesnt affect browsing .. the error codes shouldnt matter?
Anyway thanks for the comments

I like the header. Just organise the layout properly otherwise the site is good

Thanks! will continue to work on it!

Hi ..did a new design...what do you think?

You've put the google adsense by a smart way.
