good little site, nicely set out, that domains a good one, did you just register that recently or have you owned it a long time, cos that could be considered a golden domain, just like this site, computerforum.com is a golden domain...

very nice site though, was ita package or a self script, if it was a package, then well done on customixzing, if it was a self script then well done scripting, truly good work. Im not sure if people realise how much work and prep goes into getting something up and running like that.

Domain name isn't nearly as good as computerforum.com for many purposes, but It's a catchy one and good name still.

P11 - May I ask if you designed the whole site and blog yourself? or did you use software such as Wordpress, Nucleus, or b2evelution? It looks nice.
 
Hey, thanks for the imput!! I purchased the domain name actually on friday. I just had an idea for the name PC Exposure and I really thought it would probably have been taken already...so I jumped online and registered it with godaddy.com...then I purchased Quick Blog which is a blogging hosting service and I picked the template from there and customized the sidebars and such. The logo was created by myself on photoshop, but like I said I still need to do a lot of work. Its 1:29 AM right now...just got back from up north. Time to head to sleep :)
 
I posted up a new article on system maintenance...also let me know if you think I added too many ads.

Thanks
 
i think the ads are a bit much, the ones down the side should be customised a bit more so they blend in with the cell you have them placed in... and the ones in between each article.post are just ugly, sorry, but they shouldnt be there, unless they are CLEARLY SEPERATE from the post/article body....

Ya, I have one question though...am I allowed to post pictures from lets say...www.playstation.com or do I need permission to do so? even if I credit the picture to their website.
 
I did a bit of clicking on sony's site and found there terms of use, heres a quote

hope that helps, dragon2309

Oh yeh, aswell, if the images have copyright watermarks on them, you have to credit the pics back to sony, if they dont then you can just use them....

Thanks, I credit the images either way...just to be safe. Today, I added 3 articles, I found most of them not to popular on the web so I posted them up.
 
Hi, nice site, for me the grey box right of the logo would look better with some sort of picture in it, or maybe have PC then exposre where the grey is, its still looks fine but might be worth and experiment.

Nice 1

hope you dont mind me being a bit intrusive, but i knocked something up in photoshop real quick for you, its just a concept idea, but maybe to give you more ideas...? if you want the PSD i have it, but you will need the font called Hurshey's from www.dafont.com for it to look the same...



cheers, dragon

Kool, not a bad banner at all....however, I would like to keep my logo the same. I believe the logo I created has a lot of potential, its just the empty space on my blog that needs to be filled up. Sooner or later I'll think of something, or I might just use your banner :)
 
cool, gald you liked it, i wasnt expecting it to be used, it was just something to spur thoughts, which hopefully it has done.... 3 minutes of my time was nothing, so....

ya, not a bad job at all for 3 mins. I'm just really focused on creating a lot of content on the site. If you haven't noticed I added about 4 articles since this morning. :)
 
yeh, i had noticed, i suppose thats just different people working different ways, the way i work is get the site design and fnunctionality sorted, then pile in the content at the end, just different peoples preferences i suppose, good luck to you, it looks good so far....

Ya thanks, although how long does it take for the search engines to start picking it up? roughly 1 week?
