Please take a moment and review my site. It's a University of Utah Utes fan site, hence UteMania.com, with a blog, forum, polls, etc. Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance!

Nothing to change.

Really? That's terrific! Any other takers that could make any suggestions? Thanks again for the feedback!

The Home and Blog link have the same content. The Men’s Basketball 2007-2008 Season Schedule is on the Blog page twice and on the Home page once. There are only slight differences between these pages. I would suggest one of two options…

One option is to create a unique home page and name the link UTE or use the mascot name on that link, anything but Home and use it as an introduction page to let visitors know what they will find as they click around the site. This would also give the spiders more content to crawl. Perhaps the latest scores on this page and links to the newest post in the forum to entice visitors into the forum. These things added to the page allow for fresh updated material, which spiders love to find upon revisits.

The other option would be to eliminate one of those pages and name the link Utes Blog or something similar, but not the best option in my opinion.

Everything else looks great, nice work!

Good suggestions. I am kinda trying to tweak the home page a bit to give it more content than just blog articles. That way the blog is what it says it is and the home page is used more for teasers and the like.

The design looks fine, good job. One thing that annoys me is that when I click on Schedules, and the choose a Basketball or Football schedule, I'm assuming that the next page should have the schedule. Not another link to click, and a link for the other schedule. I think it should fork after the main page, and just show me the dang schedule when I click for it!

Yeah, I'm finding that annoying myself. I'm in the process of reworking that section.
