What do you think of this site. My friend and I have been working on it.

PHP Source

Basically it's a site to learn and refine your PHP skills. We've been writing tutorials and doing a bunch of other stuff. Tell me what you think.

I think that it is very 'Nukish'.

the italics are hard to read that small.
the layout does have that template look to it, maybe add some curves and colors, a logo would help for sure.

whats the difference between the news and home links?
if you click on all topics (http://www.php-source.co.uk/search.php?query=&topic=1), its a 404

javascript error on mouseover on images under advertisement in Opera

the search section, if i select something from the drop down box it takes me to another error page, maybe use a submit button as you have no way of knowing which order people will choose the options

I would also like to see a little less boxiness here. The font size is a too small for me as well- this seems to be quite a trend lately (super-small font sizes). Remember that some of us are old and can't see as well as you young ones can Smiling

Another problem I find here is the organization of the left side navbar. You're mixing the real content toegether with administrative type stuff. I think it's better to keep these things separate - even if there's just a space between the two. That will make it easier for people to find what they're looking for. "Script Downloads" is what I would call real content; "Recommend Us" is what I would call administrative stuff.

You should also work on improving your writing style and document formatting. This page, for example, puts each sentence (or sentence fragment!) on a new line. Use paragraphs, headings and bulleted lists to break things up and make it easier to read. General writing style and grammar also need work. You have a lot of run-on sentences here and poor use of punctuation and style rules.

You are obviously working this with Poom?? This is the thread he started. The colour seems to have changed a bit but I still think that your logo needs to be bigger as it is totally swamped by the banner ads at the top.

Never have liked the nuke themes that put the banners above all else. I'm waiting until PostNuke gets to .8 (when they update the theme system) to do anything with the themes. *Nuke sites need to be so box cutter looking, but it takes a lot of effort to make a site stand out. I'm not personally up to the task of learning the current theme system only to have to unlearn it and learn a new one shortly.

I like the site, but agree with the rest of the replies.. it does have that evil Nuke feel to it. Sticking out tongue It is, however, clean and easy to read... some of the text may get a little small, so you might want to look into that just to make things easier on the eyes.

Make sure your site doesn't get too "crowded" as can sometimes happen with a Nuke-type site.

Very nice. Riped from Nuke?? Is this your own coding?

On the other hand... To many sites are trying to be portal like. Too much, too much. Get your ideas accross better and faster with BIG stuff.
