You not only need to justify your text. You need to break it up into readable paragraphs. All this text in a wad makes a hard read.

Oh, ok wrong site, but this one needs work to.

Agree with some of the above posts. You need to work the site some more. Try a add 2 -3 graphics, it's too bland. And use justify for the main text alignment. The ideas are good, you need to work the project some more.

I know I'm just rehashing a bit here, but here's my opinion:

- The site is a bit to plain. Megan's idea to use a template has some merit in this situation.

- Definitely left-justify the text. Centering is a bit too ugly.

- Your slogan ("Everything you need to know.") is too generic. Try to find something that will tell exactly what your site is as well as what's unique about it. If I had a fishing site, a bad slogan would be "A fun site." A much better one would be "Learn to have a great time fishing!"

- Your claim "WebDesignArticles.info is the internet's number 1 resource for web design and related articles." is completely improvable, and, I would guess, simply not true. I hate it when sites claim that they're the number one site for something, unless it's something that's generally accepted to be true (ie eBay as #1 auction site) or the site is such a niche market that if it's popular at all it's true. (http://www.he-man.org/)

- I would say the statement "Use the navigation menu to add articles, read articles and search for articles." is completely unnecessary. Don't get me wrong, I've been guilty of the same type of thing, with labeling my menu "Menu." But others here set me straight, so I'm just passing on the info.

I like your site. Nice & clean and easy to navigate.

Good luck with it.

No. 1 on the top 10 list of beginner mistakes: centering text. Guaratneed to look unprofessional on the web. Not to mention that it's difficult to read (since the eye has to jump back and forth to find the start of a new line).

I agree with farmer_tom about getting a template for this site. It would be appropriate to do that here and that would allow you to concentrate on the content. The key to successful use of templates is to get one that looks original and customize it well. Centered text would be a dead giveaway, for example.

I'm finding the navigation bar on here to be much too small. It's a little difficult to get the cursor onto the link you want since the font is so small and there's no spacing.

I'm really confused about the links here - why do some of them go to a completely different site ??? That's highly confusing.

Definitely do format the articles properly with paragraph breaks and headings or lists if necessary. Read up on some basic writing for the web. Also make the font a normal size. This will make it eaiser to read and will make the articles look longer than they are.

If you want to make this site look really good, I would suggest a template to organize your information with a cool layout. I would also post options so that users could submit articles to post on your site (this is great for sites just starting out to gain some good content), but I would cut back on the affiliate links and generate some original content.

Simple and neat are the words I would use to describe your site. It would be useful to paragraph your articles and a minor color scheme to the text or menu, possible to match teh blue on top.

First of all, congratulations on having successfully set up your site. I agree that the site is clean. Probably you could use CSS to apply rollover effects. Besides, the articles are all written in one paragraph. Try and make it a multi paragraph, 'coz otherwise it looked more like a summary. Besides that, the site is fast to load which is a definate plus and articles are easy to navigate through.
