New Site

[jasper182]

Hi, some friends and I just got our new site up and running and were hoping some of you could check it out and let us know where some improvements could be made.  [url=http://www.nationofgamers.com]http://www.nationofgamers.com[/url].  Thanks.

hmm it's not terrible. however (based on your homepage):
1, far too much whitespace at the top of your main content area. you need to bring the title, date and author name closer together.
2, your gradients look a little cheap. unless you really know what you're doing with gradients, it will always look that way.
3, Comic Sans. It's a personal dislike of mine, but it's not a great font, TBH. There's even a website called [url=http://bancomicsans.com/home.html]Ban Comic Sans[/url] which kinda explains all my reasons plus more.
4, Gamers is a broad term, covering many areas of computer games and other things too. What is your site about specifically? What are people to expect? What can they do? you need to make your goal it a little more obvious.

Not to be mean... but it looks like it was done in MS FrontPage

The comments section on the articles, I think would look better if you somehow seperated between each post.  Alternate background colors or something?

The left menu is Center Aligned and is hard to figure out what belongs with what.  I would left-align it.

The header would look better if it was flush with the top of the page and you somehow blended/melted the left navigation bar in with it to make it look more fluid.

Also perhaps on the main page explain what the page is about or why I might want to register.
