The site isn't really new. I had it in Coldfusion and decided to reprogram in php, then went a completly different direction and used wordpress as a backend.
I believe the pagerank issue is because while i was revamping I had the site turned off completely. I was only getting a little traffic and I just thought that would work out better in the long run if I launched with everything functioning properly.
So I guess for all intents and purposes it is new. LOL
Those tips are excellent and I truly do appreciate it.
I was thinkng my navigation might need improving.
