Please come check out my site maby sign up and start submitting who knows the concept is to create a user submitted new site where hopefully if the user writes the story they keep to editorial standards, I am trying to get away from the digg style news submission site and get people into the concept of reporting as opposed to writing blog posts

Hello, I like your concept. I hope it works out for you too.

One thing that I would like to mention, its a bit off topic but it may help you. You may consider using png format for your header image. The png format is much more accurate for display of text and if you use photoshop, you can select "save for web" from the file menu and really compress the heck out it while still retaining a high degree of accuracy for the text and other details.

Best regards, Derek

And using SVG will give the best accuracy, but I don't know if the user agent detection script overhead will make it worthwhile or not.

Love the theme, but you might be getting some tough competition from the folks over at nowpublic.com, also a site built on drupal!

Never saw that site before yes i might have a little competition with them lol they allready have users i have to find users =P

My hopes are to get college's on board and create sections for their journalism students, Their posted articles will list on their "profile / virtusl resume" the site builds. This way when they seek out jobs they have a portfolio of samples, A common requirement for thoes aiming to be professional journalists, (Been there lol its rough)

Thanks for your input I greatly appreciate it.
