Good website. I'd change the layout of your adsense ads slightly . They're too far away from the main text to be noticed. I think that most people will block them out.

Have them in the middle of your webpage, as a break in the text and at the start of your article pages.

i.e.

blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah

Google adsense Google adsense

blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah blah blah blak blah blah

You should see a much better conversion in adsense clicks that way, as people are going to read them and they will be relevant to the article they are in.

I take it adsense is your main form of income form the website?

How's it working out for you?

I'm a big fan of blue, but this is almost too blah. Everything is the same low-intensity grey/blue and I feel it needs some oomph. Things are a little better when hovering over links and the brighter hue comes in, though even a completely different highlight would be nice. (Some sort of red?)

Your radio buttons on the top blue bar are doing something funky/ugly. Night want to look into that!

All suggestions. Good work.

well it looks good to me but I would fix the word SEARCH at the top in blue, make it a little smaller to fit and at the bottom make the final line on the left com up to meet the bottom of the blue. This is just what I would do the site is overall functional so It really needs nothing done to it. Just a matter of preference.
