Please review my recent launched site Crosstips.org

Was it really necessary to rip off Readernaut's HTML and CSS wholesale?<p>I mean, Jesus, it's a simple web app. It shouldn't take you more than a few hours to come up with your own design and code.

I like the idea, but I would make it a bit more clear what the site actually does.<p>I'd also recommend making the boxes quite a bit larger since there's so much white space. Done right, overly-large boxes work - like at tumblr ( <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/register" rel="nofollow">http://www.tumblr.com/register</a> )

You really need to explain what this is for.

I think you'd be far better off to swap the "About" page text for the statistics on the front page. I doubt the average visitor to your site cares how many searches have been run in the last 30 days (especially since they all seem to be zero), but judging by the comments on this page, the average new visitor probably would like to see something explaining what this is.

Some suggestions:<p>- add options for UK/US English<p>- add an option so that you can solve anagrams and find scrabble words

Yikes, I had absolutely no idea what this was for. I thought it was some type of word generator. After finding the very tiny link at the bottom, I saw the magic word: crosswords.<p>Most people don't do crosswords. Add that word to your page, or a lot of people will be completely lost.

Add some javascript to skip next input box automatically when entering text.

"length" is a strange way to begin the conversation with your audience. i get it, length is critical to finding the right word, but that doesn't make sense until you understand what it does. i would think about this from a user experience perspective and see if maybe there's a better way to get this information from your User.

It would help if you provided definitions for the returned words to aid matching an answer to the clue. Nice idea though.

I get a "502 Bad Gateway" when trying to access the provided link.

How about a "Crosstips helps you figure out the answers to crossword puzzles, provide in a letter length and a few letters to get started."

For all HTTP optimization junkies, check out the headers on all the static stuff. Pretty good caching, eh?

Why would I use this? Isn't the fun of a crossword struggling through stuff like this without help?

What is this for and why do you break my browser back button?

on your suggestions, feedback, tips at the bottom, you might want to add some captcha or your gonna get spammed :P

Get rid of the About page. Move that content to the left column of the front page.

@peterbe if you add <a href="http://" rel="nofollow">http://</a> to your blog link in your profile, it becomes clickable.

groovy feedback form, more sites should have something that easy.

I don't get it.

As of 1355 Sunday it's popping up 502 error.
