Default Please review my site

I started this website a little less than a year ago. I'm a beginner as you can tell when you visit my site. I have changed my website several times from the advice from other forums. I must have missed something because I still have very little traffic. I don't know if it is my design or my SEO. Any help someone could provide would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance!
My site is YouMouthOFF

I created a new home page from all the stuff I read in the forum. Please let me know if this looks good and I will convert the rest of the site to look like my home page. Thanks

I like the design and layout. It's very easy to navigate. The only recommendation would be to maybe use a lighter shade of blue, but then again it provides good contrast. Nice work! How long have you owed this site?

I think the concept for the site is great and I also like the way the sidebar functions, but the design looks like it is from the 90's. I think a lighter shade of blue as suggested by Luke might help.

In FireFox 2, the "Article of the Day" section lined up properly, but the "this day in history" section ended up below the sidebar.

I think that not having any original content on the site is also probably hurting your ranking and keeping you from showing up in search results.

Thank you for your review! I started the site last Oct as a blog. Since then I have dropped the blog and added the forum. I'm sure it will change alot more in the future as I learn more.

Thank you for your review! Any idea how to fix it to work properly with
FireFox 2? I will check the code and see if I can come up with something.
As far as original content, I was hoping the news side of the website would draw original content into the forum from others, hense the name YouMouthOFF. So far that is not working like I thought.

I think your site not have terget keyword, your keywords is to general you must create spesifick your keyword and then link building. Put your target keyword in TITLE. Try to update your website 10 article/day because google love uptodate content.

I think your site is pretty good. Its strait forward and easy to understand. However I'm not sure if it suits the "news website" look.

Also, for marketing and getting traffic to your site, I'm sure you know that making a better design doesn't bring in more traffic. You have to perform some marketing methods, and expose people to your site.

I see your site being helpful for many. SEO alone won't do anything since it takes a very very long time to get any decent search engine ranking, and even then, its not the best case for some websites.

Look into some social marketing methods and stick with the SEO but don't stress it to much.

Just my opinion on it.

the site is alright and very user friendly. I go for Luke's recommendation. Use lighter shade of blue to make the site more eye friendly.
