I like the idea, but I'd suggest some polishing to make the site more • appealing:

- Check your spelling. Ex: rewuired -> required; soo -> see; unnoficial ->
unofficial, etc.
- Check your grammar. Don't change person in a paragraph. If you use an
action verb to start a bullet, use that form for all bullets. LEGO should
always be capitalized. Use the registered symbol (ALT-0174), not an • asterisk
where required. If English isn't your strong suit, find someone willing to
help (and heed their advice).

Sorry, I wrote this at 9:00 at night.  My mind was not all together then...
I'll fix the errors.

- Make it easy. The HTML template duplicates information required by the
'Join' form. Why make the potential trader fill out the same information
twice?

Good point.  I'll have to fix this.

- Show how it's done. Put some of your own trades as an example.

- Solicit a jumpstart. E-mail individuals who have recently posted to
buy-sell-trade and ask permission to link to their trade pages.

- Add contact information. Put at least an e-mail link to you, the
webmaster, on the home page.

I know it's early days, but do you envision being able to search the
listings?

I'd really like to add a search engine, but I don't really have any idea how
to, or if it would even work on Freeservers. Do you know where'd I'd be able
to get the files for one?

Specify trade values (e.g., I'll trade three blues ones for one
red one)?

I was thinking about this, but I don't know whether to do it by weight,
size, worth (ie: getting the averages for parts on Brickbay), or something
else.

Reference (with permission) LUGNET parts or sets pictures? Provide
e-mail notification?

Move to an ad-free host?

I would, if I could find one that didn't charge very much.

If you can voice your ideas
about the future of your site, that will make eBrick more appealing as
well.

Thanks for the help. : ')
