Note to self; do not advertise my site here.

Uh..checked it out. It's as about generic as you can get. No pictures/graphics, not even for the 'vista icons'. Don't know who's going to download something they can't even preview. Not to be sarcastic, but I did better 10 years ago using html code and geocities through my webtv.

Yup. Need more pictures. It's a must for websites about skinning.

It functions, it could use more body though, and a significantly better skin. Try a Navbar on top or somthing a little more creative than the classic leftside nav.

I looked.

It's pretty horrendous as a site....and particularly as a site related to 'skinning'.

There is a universal expectation that a site related to graphics will actually HAVE graphics...AND be graphically competent.

This one was not.

1. Needs a better visual layout. A site dedicated to retheming Windows should itself have a pretty impressive (but useful) design.

2. Put your major content on the first page. Right now it looks like you have nothing to offer on your site.

3. Previews of what you're working on, what you've made etc. You don't need to show all 850 icons, but you need to post screenshots etc.

4. Content! Posting links to other sites and providing no content of your own makes look like you didn't put any thought or effort into the site.

David,

Here's a tip that might make it easier to "advertise" your site here. Give us some information, give us a story that makes us WANT to see your blog. Sell it with your personality, and you'll probably get more visitors. The best way to generate good traffic is to convince us it's worth the trip.

Also, take the tips that others are giving you. Critics can be your best friends, because they see things from a perspective you don't.
