    Thanks!

    I like your site as it is. I personally would not change the font size. One of the things I have noticed is more and more sites are using smaller font to get more on the home page (I click back and find the info on another page). I think its okay to send them to another page. Your site looks good as is although it is a little crowded. It will look more crowded if you change the font size.

    Just one thing…you have several ways to get to the same story…why not use the sidebar to show other articles? Maybe earlier articles. Do people really need two different ways to get to the same article? Just a thought…..

    Wow, that’s impressive man. Kudos.

    Thanks!

    @flsunshine – we have the headlines on the side because I don’t want people to miss out on the non-movie stories. If that makes sense. Maybe there’s a better way to do it though.

    Love your site! My only…well, not really complaint…want is in the book section. I’m always looking for a good book to read and was hoping there would be links to reviews of geek-type books (sci-fi, horror, paranormal, you know what I mean). The book forum doesn’t really fill that need, although I appreciate it for what it is.

    what did you do to set up your columns? did you use an addon or something?

    @ AuthorHLC, thanks! Oh, you’re talking about the Book forum, right? Well I’ll have to mention this to our Book forum moderator. Good idea! And if you’ve registered, please stick around!

    @ doobiefillin, I’m using the structure theme from Justin Tadlock. Can you be more specific regarding your question? Which columns exactly?

    You probably know this, but, damn, damn, damn! Dude, your site rocks. Just got done bookmarking. NICE freakin’ job. WOW.

    Looks great, just wondering what plugin you use for related topics.

    Curious, where’d you get the idea of a WordPress-driven front-end geek news site with an IPB community?

    Well here’s a brief history…

    We started out in 1999 as the message board community (using InfoPop’s UBB software) for the Star Wars news site EpisodeII.com. The news site closed after the movie came out in 2002, but Nightly.Net continued on and we broadened our interests to include other movies, TV, comics, etc., etc. We switched to IPB in April 2006. Then in April 2008 we started the news site again using WordPress.
