I've criticism of your site, so please take it positively and constructively.

I went there and what I saw was what seemed to be an aggregate site with no specific subject and a very broad direction. The many subjects were all over the page in different menu blocks that came and went depending on the page you were on. The subject matter was strewn down the page with no weight given to one article or the other. The site seemed to want to direct a user to information, but did it with the relaxed layout one would find in a magazine that pushed more to entertain than direct one to subject matter. Also, many of the links went to pages that had nothing to do with the subject, in other words, the site links, etc. seem to be extremely broken. For example, the 'atv attachment' link goes to a blog page full of completely random articles.

So what I would suggest, is simplify, strengthen and focus on specific subjects, and then build site content slowly, organizing it properly. Create a consistent menu scheme for the site. Do not use blog style pages, blogs are for entertainment, not information. Create user content such as comment sections so you can drive feedback directly from your site. Aggregate sites simply cannot compete on today's internet where there are many consistent and specific sites covering specific subjects that are all tied together with search tools. Also, people do come online for entertainment as much as they do information, and magazine layouts and designs are slowly disappearing.

I hope this helps.
