I am looking for some examples on how I should layout my own content site for a new template I am making.

I was wondering if some people knew of any good content sites I could explore.

Do a Google search for the key word phrase that you expect to target and see what's out there.

My content pages has been performing well, as far as having the content right up at the top of the code, and the navigation at the bottom. Then it is all rearranged with CSS. If you want this trick to work, make sure your header and/or nav are fixed widths/heights. It makes life a lot easier. Also if you can generate the page titles and meta-data from the database, it helps the consitancy of keywords. Check out my profile.

The code looks and loads in this order:

Page title loads first, then some mandatory stuff in the head, my rss feed, css file, keywords and description.

Then my article about widgets and some ads.

Then my navigation, and page background.

Then another ad.

Most of the time it loads in less than a second so you don't notice that the page loads the middle first, then the right side then the top and then the background.

Get as much of the code that SEs don't care about at the bottom of the page so they don't have to wade through crap to find the gold.
