Craigs Directory - A Few Cosmetic Changes

After a brief review of Craigs Directory by a web designer, I have made a few cosmetic changes on the home page, namely;

1. Reduced the size of the "Web Directory" image
   
2. Changed the "Welcome" text
   
3. Reduced the thumbnail size of the "Top Ranking" websites and increased them from 9 to 12 (same done on the category selection pages)
   
4. Removed the background colours of the information boxes on the right
   
5. Reduced the size of the navigation links (top)
   
6. Changed the base colour of the top navigation links
   

Please let me know what you think of these changes.
Regards,
Craig

Craigs Directory - Clean-up Update

As mentioned in my previous "Craigs Directory - The Cleanup" post, I developed a webbot to trawl all the websites listed in Craigs Directory.

Over the last 4 days it has managed to trawl over 23 thousand websites(I purposely gave it a 15 second 'wait' period between websites) and it doesn't look too bad, so far it has found;

1. ±250 "404 not Found"
   
2. ±120 "500+ Errors"
   
3. and ±80 DNS issues
   

I have left it running, to hopefully finish the rest of the 56 thousand websites before the end of the week.

Google has also been trawling about 2.5 thousand pages of Craigs Directory per day and reported a few websites (about 140) with issues.

All the "problem" websites have been removed from the index, so once again, if you find that your website has been removed from Craigs Directory, please re-submit it.

Regards,
Craig
