Hey All,

It's a simple layout, but as a visitor, does it clearly have a "call to action" to make a tool suggestion?

What can I do to improve the sites stickyness? and Conversion rates?

Try adding some simple gradients here and there. I don't personally think it's too simple as I actually quite like this design, but I'm sure it could get boring easily.

use the gradients in topic headers or navigation just to make it stand out a bit more. The only problem i can see is that it was hard to seperate the content from the links and adds on the right, but i wouldn't say its too simple either.

Okay, it's about clearly defining the navigation. I will work on that...

As far as the high five, it's for people who want to suggest a tool or resource that would benefit the community. But thanks for giving me the high five, i'll think about putting a script that will allow people to give high fives to members of the community.

Thanks all for your feedback

the one thing I noticed is that I had to scroll quite a bit on the main page...You might want to think about reducing the length of descriptions and leading people to a more complete article/description

How about placing the most recent article as the main with a link to the others?

I like the layout, not really keen on the color scheme though.

That would be a good way at cutting down on the bulk of the main page
