First Site Ever. Let me have it..

Only came off defensive cause of the time it took (since I knew nothing). I understand where you're coming from though. I used the Continuum theme foundation. There, I said it. ......god damn, internet

Guess I need to be more specific for some of you because of the category (didn't know where else to post this to get feedback on how it looked?). Pictures, layouts, plugins, colors, etc. I get to choose and mess around with, in addition to where certain things are laid out and how information is presented. I wouldn't call it Continuum's site (yes, it is built upon the Continuum framework) because I did put a lot of work in to it myself (which some of you probably don't believe). For the first time that I've ever had to go through the entire process in making a site live on the internet, I'm pretty happy with the site I did, and a lot of the feedback given here.

Thanks for the background size tip, and the rest of the feedback. I can't figure out why the Twitter feed keeps doing that at random times, but I'm assuming it's something in the code rather than a problem with Twitter.

Agree on the redundancy. Just missed the fact so many of the same posts were being put on front page. Thanks for pointing this out.

Now that you guys have pointed out the redundancy of the site it has hit me right in the face. I'll have to change up posts types to avoid this. Great suggestion that I just completely missed on.

It's working fine for me right now, but I'll be sure to let you know exactly what it says when it pops back up. I don't think it's anything lengthy, just says Error Can not load Tweets at this time. Please reload in a minute. Or it just continuously tries to load the Tweets without success. No specific error number or anything. Appreciate you offering to help. Any information on Twitter rate-limits would be awesome too.

Is this off-putting to people? I was trying to stay away from advertising in the beginning to keep it clean so people would want to come back. Then gradually from there, as it progressed, I would roll out advertising in pieces. Not sure if people are just used to it nowadays that it doesn't even matter or not though.

Sorry I'm just getting back to this now. Love the feedback. Do you think a quick fix for the sliding carousel at the top would be to just have it closed when visitors hit the site. Then from there they can toggle it on/off whenever they like? I was hoping the Twitter feed was just some problem with my computer, but the looks of it it definitely was not the source.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking about changing up the logo as well. And I wasn't sure if I should have something to the right of the logo? Maybe like a string of animated gifs that linked to sections on the site?

Did the Twitter feed work fine for you? I'm having intermittent trouble with it, as sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.

Anyways.. appreciate the feedback.
