Hey Martinez....what’s with the Gay Patriot Link you have on your site?

Won’t be using it if that stays...I oppose the gay agenda and do not go to sites that link them.

Went back for a 3rd look. So far, so good. I noticed the welcome absence of those ridiculous puff pieces that Drudge likes so much.

Bookmarked.

Not a bad idea: a couple of suggestions, though:

1) There is no rule saying you have to copy the Drudge format. You should have your own style (IMHO). For example paper.li has a very easy-to-use style.

2) You may want to reconsider some of your references:

- Craigslist as a reference? A reference for what? picking up a wh0re?

- Joseph Smith...prophet of restoration? Piece of advice: that will turn a whole lot of folks off.

Your site...your business, but the above might help you out a bit.

Much better after “polarization”.

I would suggest a Serif font though.

Use red sparingly if at all. For a mission critical interface red is only used for life and death items.

BTW the goal is not to look like anyone else, it is to follow good user interface design principles. A good interface is a good interface.

Checked your site again this morning.....looking better and better...much easier read than prior and I noted you ditched J.Smith Restoration....good move. Also the G. Patriot....also good move.

I was on it a good hour or so Melvin....I also think your links to social networks was a great idea. Though I don’t use them some of them were interesting to beat all. Nice touch IMO.

Looking forward to using your site....good job so far.

I knew there had to be a reason it felt so calm and peaceful around here. Thanks.

Yeah, and I just added a slew of links onto there. Site wasn’t updated for ~5 hours since I was getting baptized, but the additions are trickling in as fast as I can Tweet/Code them.

Thanks for reading!

No doubt you’ll be busy keeping it updated....I went back and enjoyed it for another hour or so today and noted the additions as well....good job...and I’m sure some here will offer other advice to assist you in making it a complete success...but so far it’s work bookmarking and checking dialy IMO.

BTW....Congradulations on being Baptized... No doubt the Lord is well pleased with you following His footsteps.
