      hey mate, you have started at least 3 new threads regarding your story or your site in the last 3 days.

      i don't know if you are just self promoting or not, but at the very least, you need to revive(bump) your old threads by continue to post in the same thread about your story.

    Your site is pleasing to the eye, which is good. Although, you might not wish to use so many realistic looking rats. This may be an immediate visual turnoff to some people who are afraid of or hate rats. Check out Fiverr.com and hire an artist for $5 to draw you a cartoon rat which is less real and more silly/funny looking. Just a thought. Good luck.

    I think the header is one of the best designs I've seen, thats the good news.

    I think SEO-wise it will be a challenge. You're topics are all over the map.
    I'm guessing it will be hard to rank for almost anything that way. Instead, if you had a blog that was all about Flea Markets, for instance, it would stand a better chance of ranking.

    So, it's too wide a topic, and would benefit from being narrower, imo.

    My 2 cents:

    You have an RSS feed button and the search box at the very top of your page. It looks like your black to gray gradient bar where these two items are is about 50 or so pixels tall. I don't think they add any value and this area is PRIME real estate on the page. Ditch them. The search box is definitely a waste and the RSS button is duplicative of the other RSS signup graphic that you have in the right hand column.

    Cheers, hope that's helpful.

      Thanks for the suggestion Truxx. I took your advice and removed the search bar up top and rss feed there also. Do you think there is anything I should put in the top bar or should I remove it completely?

        I had to go to the about page to find out what exactly your site is supposed to be about. I need to know that on the first page.

        Whether you're unemployed, a part-time, or a full-time worker, you should be excited to know that there are 1000′s of methods to making money on your own.
        Be part of a community that learns money-making methods, shares ideas and stories, and helps you further yourself to your goals in life.
        Some of this or parts of this needs to be either in the header or the sidebar.

        Imagine some visitor who comes to your site through a backlink to an article, how will they know what they site is about unless they go to the about page? They may get enticed by the entire site and make it a regular stop, but not if they don't know what it's about. Just my 2cents.

          Any ideas how I could put that in the side bar, i really don't want to mess too much with the header, at least the picture itself.
