WEB DESIGN

i want a clean easy to navigate site. i am not good at this at all and this was pretty easy. any ideas on making it better or things i may have missed? sometimes when you look at something every day, you miss the obvious. thanks

On the whole, pretty cool!

Two suggestions though -

(1) I think it'd be better to link the entire image (instead of the headline) in the slider to the post/article. It's not immediately clear that the headlines are links too.

(2) I would change the font for the navigation links. Nothing wrong with them, just a bit uninteresting.

  I agree you need space between the main content and the sidebar.
  You want a minimum of 20px, maybe even 30px based on your design.
  
  Something you need to keep in mind is if you add any pixel space (20 or 30) you need to compensate for it in the total width.
  
  You will have to make multiple adjustments to the css to make that work with additional spacing. Otherwise your floats will screw up and your post list will as well.
  Also agree with UtterlyWeb's suggestions especially since your using the default wordpress "read more" which is just a couple brackets.
  
  Thanks

Looks pretty nice. Go for a format similar to mmajunkie.com - thats pretty much the model for boxing/mma news type sites.

Good luck, you made a great start.

Overall, it is good, I used to be an amateur boxer, and I will be following your site. Here we go:

-I clicked "STORE" on the navigation bar, and I think that page is not completed.
-How about enriching the footer by adding "about me", "terms" ?
-You have got over 1500 likes. +++
