hi fkrule,

i love the content that ur site is trying to address. however i also think you should have two separate sites, one for F1 and the other for cricket. Being a cricket lover, i would love to see some images, to go along with the articles, as well as dates when you post the articles.

At the moment the cricket info that you have on your site can be found on many other sites. maybe you should be more subjective, and post your opinions of what has happened in particluar games, ie. what did you think of the tied final between the Aussies and the Poms. Personally i think it was a bloody joke, and McGrath threw it away with the no ball in the final over.

Also the button colours... red text on blue is a BIG no no!

i think you should think about a colour scheme for your site, which is basically two or three colours, which you can use in variations, to give some consistancy to your site. try to pick colours which complement each other.

similarly pick a font to use. the one you have now is a serif font, which means it has those little tails on the end of the letters. they are fonts like times new roman. Serif fonts are traditionally easier to read on printed material rather than on websites. Sans Serif fonts like Geneva and Arial are usually better than the serifs, for reading on the net.

and finally come up with a cool name and logo for your site... something like "fast cars and cricket"

hope that helps. there are also many sites that can give you tutorials, to help you. Flashkit.com , kirupa.com. both of those sites are geared towards flash, but will help with html. i recommend you also join other web design forums, and ask for help so you can learn more web design techniques. The things you already can do, such as updating your site, keep doing them, but try to learn new ways that u can display your information.

cheers
