    • Yes, I have a suggestion.

      Your site is basically an aggregator, you compile and collect articles from other sites and present them. One thing you could do, like other such sites seem to successfully do is to have comments. Allow users to interact with the site.

      Joomla Comment extensions >>> extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...t_id,1764/Itemid,35/

    • Resizing the images to the correct size or not stretching/squishing them with so that they end up with a horribly pixelated edges would improve the look a lot too imho... it is a site about HDTV, the images look Lo-definition.

      Maybe having a fluid design would be nice too (currently seems to be slightly larger than 800pixels)

      I agree about the images. Having some problems with the new JCE editor hence the problems with some text.

      What do you mean by a fluid design? Is the site too wide?

    • Fluid means it resizes according to the browser width. Not sure if you can do it with that template, I've never used it.

      it's just slightly too big for an 800x600 screen (meaning you'll get horizontal as well as vertical scroll bars at that resolution) I guess not many people run at that resolution... seems most are 1024x768 or bigger these days... (I've got 1280x960 on a 19inch monitor and used to run at 1600x1200...)

      it should be possible to either reset the images to default size or run them through an image processor to get smaller versions...

    • What do you think now the banners and news categories are installed. Have I gone overboard?
