    First of all... all your front page content is just repeating the same posts - slider, lower content boxes, and sidebar.

    The slider is way too fast, as mentioned above.

    Get rid of the Share button on the side and place share buttons at the end of your posts.

    You would be better off by displaying your latest post as a full post with excerpts of maybe 4 or 5 previous posts below it then place a tag and category widget(s) in the sidebar so the visitors can navigate to what is important to them.

    Put some useful info in the sliders, or just replace this entirely with some sort of welcome message that explains what the site is about and what it can do for me (the visitor).

    Again, as mentioned above, too much white space at the top.

      Can you give more details on your concept here... you mean create a new page with all topics?

    I don't like the .ws domain because is not easy to remember and no to many know about this extension but i wish you good luck.

    I would have to say some of the same things that were mentioned already.

    Some items repetitive, share button alternative, RSS button on top, slider rotation speed, overall layout and wording update.

    You can make some adjustments and get this fixed up nicely.

    Be sure to update your title (right now it's just your URL). The other posts mentioned here list a number of steps you can take to clean up the site. Best of luck to you!

    Appreciate all the input - white space at header was something I was trying to figure out couldn't get why it was there but yes we found it.. I removed the RSS feed icon and currently trying to find out where the settings are to slow down the slide. I have to disagree with the comment about the .ws domain utilizing this extension I believe others should be doing the same - it allows for better targetted domain names that .com or .net or alike don't have available and never will.. aside from that as we add more articles the feature articles in the slide won't be the same as the bottom portion.. if anyone wants to give me feed back on the recently added anxiety & panic test in the menu tell me what you think.. thanks again for the feedback

    Ok, so I found out where to slow things down but if you look now thats as slow as I can get it... I went from 10 to .1 lol unless i'm missing something I too still find it a little quick... I can post the script if it helps anyone figure it out

    Thanks, spelling corrected! working on the parse errors... I agree I thought it would be a nice way to capture and deliver rather than other methods I see...

    If background color is sky then it might be more attractive.

    Slider little fast and white color background also harmful to read for long time. Don't worry you are doing good too.
