Hi, Brian. I think your site looks pretty good. I was kind of suprised to find E-Tips on the list of sites to visit
. One thing though- the URL should be etips.NET and not .com.... We tried to get .com before but they never responded...

Site looks good but very plain. In fact there is no real graphics anywhere - any gifs I could find were just used for text.
The scrolling text is also kind of annoying but I think I woudld keep it.

Hi Brian,
.
I really like your site, as JP mentioned I think a few nice little graphics would really liven things up (I am impressed by your text only JumpNow banner) looks much nicer then the usual text heading
I would repeat that same LARGish banner on each page, your search page is great but I almost feel like I was warped to another search page yahoo clone, If I were you I would "brand" that page with larger logo, if for no other reason then to take credit for all of your hard work.
I also think you could take some of your columns and do a few little tricks to make things jump out. Right now all the text is very similar --- I'm thinking maybe adjust the text colors or table background colors in one of the columns just for a little variety. OR, you can also do this by adding some little icons, "mail" "new" etc.....
Dont hesitate to put that "new" icon here and there, people come back to sites that are fresh and frequently update.
take care,
Carolyn
