www.odd-info.com - please let me know your thoughts about it. I'm
especially looking for a look that's easy to maintain, does not
interfere with a wide variety of possible content, looks good on all
computers, yet will help as much as possible in bringing people back
to the site. Your thoughts?

I like it - think it's very attractive, but why is there so much space at
the bottom?

Free counter, perhaps.

And then counter would've been added later, No?

Thanks for finding it out. Sorry it was my oversight. Chances are OP
hitted many returns which were not needed.

Welcome to 1999

It's not badly done. At least it's not 1997.

> I'm especially looking for a look that's easy to maintain,

Learn CSS and ditch the layout tables. There's a lot more sheer volume
in that HTML than needs to be, if done efficiently, and that always
hurts when it comes time to change something.

> looks good on all computers,

Lose the

layout in favour of something done with floated block
elements (
or
  • ), and have it be a bit smarter for varying
    window sizes (including mobiles) so that the number of columns isn't
    rigidly fixed.

    > yet will help as much as possible in bringing people back to the site.

    It still looks like 1999

    You're not Google, you're not Wikipedia, so what are you offering? If
    you have Google's content, you can look like crap. If you're not in
    that league, you have to look nicer. If you aren't pitching _anything_
    that I want and can't get more easily elsewhere, why am I going to
    come visit?

    If you're touting "cute time-wasters" these days, you really need to
    address that small-screen mobile market.

    Like the simplicity, hate the look. The background gives me a
    headache.

    You demure? Have you no artistic aestheticism? All right, the white
    background _could_ be a little more subdued as a glare-reducing tactic, but
    it isn't any worse than reading text on the typical newsreader.

    you used front page? bless.

    can you code html and css? it would be good to take some time and
    learn so you can chop out code thats not needed also might be good for
    you to look into hiring a graphic designer to draw up some mockups of
    layouts especially if this is a money making enterprise then you can
    simply focus on keeping the website up to date.
