Karen, I didn't mean your sites needed improvement! I interpreted your questions and comments in your first post as asking how to draw more traffic to your sites. So that was just something that I thought of. Re: Haunted >not interested in that site because I don't get UPN lol. Honestly, that's the only reason! As to the look/theme of that site, I wouldn't be a good judge because I know nothing about the show.

I did esp. notice the Charmed and Angel sites for the color and graphics because I'm really into that right now. I'm like a wallpapers freak and notice graphics right away. But I may not be typical. In fact, I think of myself as kind of eccentric. So get lots of opinions. What esp. drew my eye/interest were the Charmed topper/graphic: well-done! Also like the other pictures on that first Charmed page. They break up the text nicely and are lovely. On the Angel page I like the colors, icons and the texture you used on the title banner. Then with the great cast picture there, with the darker colors standing out in relief, it's just a great look. I don't know much about design or anything. Just know what I think looks attractive, for what it's worth. I've always liked your Sanctuary graphics. The reason I don't visit that site is because you don't really have any content. I always planned to visit once it gets going.

As to content at the sites, I can't really contribute there because I don't watch any of those shows. I don't think sites being small is really a problem. My new site is small. Many of the sites I visit are small and many of those only feature one thing (right now I'm into digital fan art and have been visiting those sites). I guess it all depends on what people happen to be looking for when they visit fandom sites. And also, do you want occasional visitors or regular visitors? If you're looking to draw people back each month, then you'd probably have to offer something unique, like fan fiction, music videos, fan art or something. Actually, I'm not a good person to comment on this. I know that when people visit my two sites it's because they like music videos. Since I don't do many, most of the traffic I get to my first site (3 music videos) are mostly new people. So you see, I don't really have a clue as to what to do to draw people. I seem to keep getting lots of traffic and downloads so I guess I don't question it much.

My third site I'm just doing for fun and don't really care how much traffic I get. So let's get some of these smart people around here to give some opinions!
