Thank You WA
This link is obviously available for anyone interested, but intended for those who took the time to respond to my previous post. Your advice is priceless and I thank you.

Mr. Niceguy, I reviewed your site and the colors look good. However, to me at least, the main pictures in the header are blurry. This makes it confusing to me. I suggest that you have nice crisp pictures on your home page. The pictures should match with your niche. First time visitors will be able to associate the pictures with your site. I would also suggest that you place pictures of the products you are reviewing or selling in the header. Or, pictures of people riding them. Just a thought. Good luck!
Okay, you're the second person that found the image confusing. It's a picture of a bunch of people riding bikes. I guess I'll have to find a different picture or at least play around with that one. The original photo wasn't blurry, I skewed it and felt it gave the image a sense of "speed". Well, back to the drawing board. Thanks for the input :-)
Looks like your site is coming along nicely. Nice theme altho not sure what the cars in the lot have to do with bikes. New header maybe? I'm no expert, just what hit me when I got to the site. So far, so good otherwise! :)
Haha, those aren't cars, they're cyclists in the Tour de France. It was a free photo and it didn't fit the header space as it was so I stretched it. I didn't think the image was difficult to make out, but then again that's why someone else's point of view is so helpful. Thanks:)
I have to laugh at that! See what happens when you try to stretch an image...would love to see the real image. Why not take it back down to the correct size and combine it with a second box with your logo or something. Just a thought.
I really wish I knew how to do all that. It was a challenge getting the first pic into the header space. I actually had to change themes a couple times to find one that would accept the pic. I've since changed the theme again(and the image) and I gotta admit, it does look a lot more relavant. I'm happy with it =D
Way more relevant! And makes a lot more sense as the video is all about the topic! Nice Job! :) Remind me when you get your blog rolling and I will comment for you.
Welldone once again, looks fantastic, yeah WA is a great place to be, the support is just amazing. So great work once again, talk soon, Adrian.

I took a look at your changes. Like the video, like the theme (sortof). I would limit yourself to one adsense box. I would put this over on the Right. The Left side should be for your high visibility items. Adsense there just detracts from the impact of your own stuff.
I have seen several eye tracking studies that indicate the highest read parts of your site occur in an F pattern so Menu on the Left and across the top, video is in the perfect place.
Done. Thanks. For a first site, I don't think it looks unmistakeably amateur but I've come to realise that I may never be completely satisfied with it. I've got one or two main pages to build on it yet, but I've decided to let it marinate for a while as is while I focus on building my link wheel. Always open to feedback, Labman. Thanks again :)
