I like how the page looks, but there are a few things:

1. The page doesnt take up the whole browser (mine anyways) and it seems like you have a ton of space that is going to waste. I would think that you want the list on the right side of your page to be all the way to the right on someones screen.

2. Everyone here preaches the tune of "unique content", I am not sure If I have a reason to come back to your page. Although there are some good starts on your main page with the "random lingo" and featured player section. I would expand on the featured player column.

Just my two cents, and as always, look over the forum and there is just gobs of information on how you can improve your content and all that good stuff.

Color scheme seems decent!

-- At 1280 x 1024, the page is flush on the left. You might consider centering the page at higher resolutions

-- Im not a huge fan of the blurry kinda look you have on the site name.

Center the page and use percentages and pixels when you are sizing it out. Right now it looks to be about 800 pixels wide, but you want that 800 pixels to represent 100%... get my drift? Take a look at my site www.macpokeronline.com for instance. I have it set to 800 pixels so on an 800x600 resolution it will take up the whole screen, but on a 1280x1024 screen like mine, it will be centered rather than left aligned.

Thanks guys for taking the time to check it out. It was designed it with 800x600 in mind and I didn't give thought about what that empty space looked like. I appreciate your suggestions.

You shouldn't give thought to the empty space, other than to have it be a complimentary color like you have now.

You should center the site though.

If you are rdirecting to /cgi/index.html as a test, fine, but I hope you don't intend to do that permanently.

You directed us to the www version of the site, but the bottom navigation links to the non-www version. Consistently only use one or the other. If you want the www version, change the bottom links and all links to the www version.

Thanks for your interest PPP.

Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this, so I have a couple questions:

1. I didn't write the site or upload it, my buddy who is working with me on this set it up and put in the that redirect in (I can only make some small edits to the site). I have no idea if he plans to do this permanently but why and what should I change this to?

2. Which version of the site (www or non-www) should I direct people to and why?

Thanks again

I would try a lighter green on the alternating menu. I was very distracted by that green. That might be a good thing though.

Try the green on this forum where your name is:

That light green strip--yes its very light green. Try that color.

You should never redirect off the main URL without a very good reason.

Most people will link to you with the www, so that is what I would use.

...which is also a reason why it is a bad idea to pointlessly redirect. Just always link to http://www.pokergeist.com/ and have that not redirect anywhere.
