Well it has been 15 days since the last update. I have added many more articles in the new free articles section of my site. My question is what do you think of the header artowrk on the pages. I am using GIMP to create them and I think they are ok but that is based on my limitations with the software. In my opinion the informational content is more important, but if the "food doesn't LOOK good", nobody's gonna eat it. Please give me some suggestions on what might look better or even better ways to do what I am already doing.

Always thankful for your help,

Cadman

Your site is really slow.

What is your site all about?

I understand that you are selling ebooks but I have no idea what keyword to use in Google to find your site.

How slow was it? Each page has keywords unique to its page such as nursing, camping, etc. It may be slow due to the video or news feed but I don't know. If you can give some insight, it might help. Ebooks are one part of it and the articles are another.

Thanks,

cadman

You website doesn't feel like you care (there isn't even a you (as in singular).
It feels like a bunch of free articles from around the net thrown together without a vision that connects them.

OSCommerce?

Your site doesn't feel slow to me. In fact it loaded up very quickly. Maybe it felt slow because of all the images that have to load.

Ty all for your comments. Brutha I pm'd you. The area where there seems to be lag is the articles section. The best part is, I was looking for input on the headers and I am actually getting better advice on working with the content. Thanks to all for going to the site and even more to those who have responded or PM'd me. I look forward to more input to help provide the right kind of site that gives information in a user friendly format. The other benefit is, once I have progressed on my journey and made some success, I can help others when they have questions pertaining to the same arena.

Hoping you all succeed in your goals,

Cadman
