That's right!

I took your feedback into serious consideration and I've updated the website.

- I've switched to WordPress, so that it is easier to manage the quotes.
- I've paid for a customised WordPress layout.
- I've made it possible for you to submit their quotes for review.
- I've incorporated the DISQUS system, so that you can comment without registering. You can comment using most social network accounts (such as Twitter, Facebook, DISQUS etc.)
- There are buttons located above each post, so that you can easily share the quotes / pages.
- Also, I have space for advertising if you're interested.
- + More features.

Again, I'd love your feedback & quotes!

If you like QuotePort, please share it with your friends, bookmark it, and follow us on Twitter - twitter.com/QuotePort (http://www.twitter.com/QuotePort).

I'm delighted at the statistics so far, considering that QuotePort has only been live for a few days. It's had over 25'000 hits in such a short space of time.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this, I really do hope that you enjoy using QuotePort!

Good luck with it! It's certainly nicer than the old design, if not a little bit plain with Arial just about everywhere.

At the moment it still feels like it was destined to be a blog, with the Read More links still intact and the quote text being a bit too small to stand out on its own. I would make the quote text a little larger, and perhaps in a serif font like Georgia? Just to make each quote more differentiated from the rest of the site.

Be sure to set up your Permalinks too, just for search engine performance sake and nicer looking links! My only other suggestion would be a slightly catchier tagline, it's... just a little dull at the moment :P

Good luck once again, would love to see your visitor statistics in a little more detail so I can see whether £5 is well invested :P

I'm still tweaking certain aspects, they should be ironed out soon enough.

It takes up to three months for external services such as Google AdPlanner to publish the statistics, that's why I'm not pushing the advertising so much at the moment.

All I have to go by is the scripts that I installed when I first made the website live.

Also, thanks for the feedback! +Rep

I've installed a ratings system so that you can rate each quote.

Great website, the design is sleek and clean. Good you focused on two colours and the quotes are great. Good luck!
