Review my site

1 minor problem w/ the searchfunction, it doesn't work if just hit "Return" key, you have to hit the Search button.

I would also put some kind of logo there.. the home pageis a little too bland, i think.

Good deal.


I will look into the button issue. I have someone creating a logo for me as well. I am just happy to have a site up again.

Well, I took the time to redesign the site. Any help will be apprepriated.

You're almost there with valid XHTML (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yardsalechase.com%2F)! Great job!

I suggest getting rid of about 3 exclaimation marks per sentence/title.
Use the space next to your logo for your search box. (and maybe a smaller logo w/more distinctive font)
Try to fit who you are and what you do into a column.
List recent ads on the front page (keep it simple)

Yup. Neat idea.

I have found full blown XHTML to be extremely difficult inthe different browsers I tested. I still use tables on some things. I'll get rid of the exclaimations.

What do you mean?

I will look into the latest ads on the front. Dag, why didn't I think of that. Especially, since I don't have a lot of traffic. I am still learning. http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/tongue.gif

Yeah, you need to move some elements up next to the logo to close up that big white gap. ;) You're wasting prime page real estate there.
