Hmm I may regret this but..
I started this site as a handson way to learn php/mysql and has now turned into something I enjoy - more like a hobbie.. It needs fine tuning and maybe you guys can help with some critic
thanks!

rough, did you develop your own CMS, or this open source solution?

pleasant,unassuming...a little too dark for me all over...and the headings on the posts could be a different color other than white maybe...but professional..nothing glaringly wrong except a little plain

i developed myself.. working on the admin interface piece still .. figured i'd develop it once and use it again and again
- +1, good for you303
- package it up and offer it to fellow qbners. always a hunt for a good cms...TheBlueOne

get rid of the google ads. or make them more clear and play a bit more with typesize, header vs body and leave some breathing room between the text and the border.

but font-size is too small for me, need one pixel more

Is the screenshots sharp enough? I'm using a php class to crop the images and I thought there was alot of compression?

Yeah well done chief, looks pretty good and a decent attemt to start learning the language. Good stuff. Not wild on the title, think it should be luv that design, not luvthat design and Id change the colout of the bar on the right to differentiate it a bit from the main content , but its only minor quibbles.
Whereabouts in Dublin you from?
- thanks Ian, live in Dun Laoghairerough
- see, I like the "luvthat" thing,,,TheBlueOne

Hey Guys,

Nice. I like.

Nice Rough, that's very well done! The only thing is there's a lot of space that's looking mighty lonely in the header area and I agree with WeLoveNoise, the logo needs a bit of sorting out.
Also, this is more of a comment on blog sites in general, but why include the time a certain post was made? I can't imagine anyone having any use for knowing the time a post was made. The date I can understand, but time just seems a bit ridiculous to me.

i would like to see the feature span the whole main column. i guess then it would look just like QBN. I think the feature gets lost in the jumble of things.
