  Hi all,
  
  I am a novice in website hosting and designing, and I have recently launched http://www.RaagVamdatt.com. It is a website guiding readers about personal finance and investing.
  
  I did some research to compare various CMS, and found PostNuke to be the best for my needs. The best things I liked about PostNuke were the ability to configure it, add modules for extra functionality, and the permissioning system.
  
  I have added a few modules for some extra functionality. I have used htmlpages for static pages and pnEncyclopedia for a glossary. I have used pnBook (a guestbook) for a section where users share their best practices with other users.
  
  Please do have a look at the website - http://www.RaagVamdatt.com - I would greatly appreciate your feedback on improving the site and making it more user-friendly.
  
  Thanks!
  
  Note: PostNuke version 7.6.4, FlexCorp theme

  Very nice site!
  i guess i only can recommend you to difference the color of the links and the text.
  if you use blue for links, you can use black for text.
  IMO that can improve your users experience in the site.
  Good work!

  The change in colors give to your users clarity about the clickeable and non-clickeable content, but you know, by default the link color is blue, and it's used in many many Web sites (also a WAI Recommendation), so, if you keep your content blue may confuse to your users...
  dark blue or black is my recomendation for normal text.
  
  Keep up your good work!
  see ya!
