Goodness! It's about time! This is the kind of thing I love to see, someone proud about their achievements and willing to accept ideas.

One thing about this forum, it favors anonimity. Because of this, people generally don't attatch websites to names, but I like it, and I'd love to see more of it.

About your site, nice idea, good overall scheme, but a couple of things I really feel you could work on.

1.) It doesn't work at all in 800x600. Now personally, neither do any of my sites, but this is something some people deem important. In your case, you're dealing with mostly webmasters, so you should be ok.

2.) Spacing/Design; absolutely horrid word spacing/font choice. The words are all over the place. I can see at least 10 things that would greatly improve your site, just simple things. Now keep in mind, things might look different on my IE6 at work. The first paragraph there, move the words to the left, and take the border off the google logo, maybe just use a style="border: 1px black solid;", or something simmilar to that. Again, just my opinions from what I can see. The words in the middle, push them down so there's a little bit of a spacing in that background on the top (like there is on the bottom). Bring the stuff up in the bottom panels so they are at the top (maybe with like a 5px margin from the top)

3.) Wording. Get a Thesaurous, change around the sentences, fix the grammar, try not to use the same words a lot in the same sentence. Not terrible, but for sales, could be so very much better.

4.) I know it's hard starting off, but start accepting a more standard form of payment ASAP. Paypal is ok, but you will lose sales because of it.

But I have a lot of good to say about the site as well. Great name, <snip> - Nice play on words, catchy, I won't easily forget it. Good over all design, I like your ideas. I don't know where you got the pictures of the people, but it's all integrated fairly well, looks pretty professional.

Keep up the good work, tweak it till you like it, then promote like crazy. Here's to seeing more of these threads :)

Edit: My spelling is horrible, don't bother correcting me :P

Edit2: Oh yeah, uh.. I don't think they let you post URLs here. I don't totally agree with it, but then again, it's not my board :) Maybe they'll let this one go and see what happens.

Edit3: Whoops, sorry, guess I missed that part of the TOS :) I edited the URL out of my own post, save you some work ;)

Hmmm...let's hope not. Per the Board's TOS:

#21: We do not allow review my site posts. It is impossible to deduce which posts are honest requests and which are promotional.
