My website: Any suggestions?

Ummm... When I write the tutorial, I will put in the introduction that I have actually solved a 4x4 BLD, and perhaps a video for proof.
 
If you post asking for suggestions, don't get defensive when people suggest things.

"spdcbr: "I don't like the layyout. It should be more exciting than that."

@spcbr: First, please correct your spelling. The layout is fine, I don't want to make it too complicated so that people would need a Phd to navigate through the website. Everything is one-click away, for now, but when I put more articles,it won't be that way anymore"

Really now? One extra y is clearly a typo.
Don't tell me you're perfect every time. I can pick out several grammatical posts in the quoted post.

The articles seem to be pretty good. Try to make them seem a bit more professional, as if you were submitting them for school.

Like this:
"Eastsheen- These cubes are the same size as a Rubik's 3x3x3. Well, a centimeter difference"

Instead, you can say "Eastsheen cubes are about that same size as a Rubik's 3x3x3."

Overall, the site is pretty good. Just add more content when you can, and try to make it more organized and polished.

My suggestion would be to try and find something that hasn't been done and do that good. Having a website with a bunch of solution articles is just going to make you the same as hundred of other websites. Unless you're one of the top cubers, or you're doing some different method, don't bother.

Off the topic of your website, but your tutorial seems to restrict moves to <UDFBL2R2> and I think its easier to restrict to <UDLRF2B2>
It's easier setups, but both work fine.

Right. At http://cubefreak.net the 3OP BLD section mentions that prior to 2006 many people used to use the group <UDFBL2R2> but later people switched to <UDLRF2B2> because they believed the setup moves were easier. I use what byu says, by the way.

I think everyone complaining here are morons, every attempt to a new cubing website is better then nothing in my opinion.
For the website to make sucess I think you need to put some more special information on the website that you can't find anywhere else, it's prob not so easy thou.

So you think that an intelligent person would look at a new website with many problems - when the website creator is asking for suggestions and comments - and say "it is perfect"? No, that's what a moron would do. We're not just randomly complaining, we're providing constructive criticism. Besides, YOU'RE complaining about how there's not enough special information. Practice what you preach.


Anyway, Rubikgenius, I've already noticed that the website is looking a little better! Thanks for actively considering the suggestions we have been giving.
 
I really don't feel the need to create my own thread, but.. If anyone wants to give me any suggestions for my website, it'd be appreciated. However, keep in mind that I basically made this website so that I could easily refer people to somewhere showing the OLL's and PLL's I use, aswell as my best times. And I believe it serves that purpose. :)

Thanks! I am going to do a bit more of organizing.

@Bryan: Well you are right. I am thinking about putting "different articles" on my website. That way the only place to find the info would be on my website :)

Hi all I have updated the contest page. Check it out

Hm... I don't think that's the case. Your "articles" are more of a blog type thing, posting what's interesting to you. You don't even mention the big stuff, like you talk about the NAR for Multi-BLD, but not the WR for BLD...

I would recommend just giving links the the WCA page, or if you really want, create a Blog part of your website to put that stuff in.

Second: "2) POP's count as DNF's and will be counted as the slowest time in the Average of 5" -> ...you can't fix a pop?
Third: <_<

Also about the contest:

Do you know any good cubers that you could get to compete? The first time I won, I averaged like 17-18 and still won the competition.
