Dear HN Community,<p><pre><code> I built my first non-static website this last weekend with PHP, AJAX and MySQl. Can you guys can give me some feedback and/or advice on it? I need some opinions outside of my close friends and family.

A few thoughts off the top of my head (feel free to contact me out of band if you want more...)<p>- text is nearly unreadable
- there's no separation for any of the posts. no rankings, you can't visually separate elements within the post. there are too many of them on there -- which do I read first? Should I read them all, or just the top one? Are they in some sort of order? A visual redesign will help will all these things.
- Can I post w/o creating an account? I hate creating an account places. Why do I need to do that? It's not obvious that I need to create an account to post.
- Who are these people? Are they users, or celebrities? Is this their twitter feed?<p>I'd focus on visual design. You don't really have too much "usability" that's very complex.
You will get better feedback if you write in which area you want the feedback. Design, idea...<p>I'm no guru but I think orange on orange is not easiest colors on eyes to read.<p>Login button could say "login".<p>Interesting idea btw.
