Thanks Dave, next challenge is to shorten the left and right columns, I might use the same technique, I think I'll have a play over the weekend and maybe I'll khave a look at the php nuke stuff.

At the moment hand coding the reviews which is the main content for the site doesn't take that long, using a database could speed things up and add extra functionality but most of the applications I've come across produce crappy urls like reviews,php?id=&review126&cat=mong&item=27

This is not good for search engines and rankings as many ignore urls like this, also if the urls have something about the review in them they are more likely to appear in the search engine results, search for Lite-On-LVD on google and you will see what I mean.

If I can find a dynamic utility that produces decent urls I'll put it on the site but if I can't I'll stick with hand coding, now that I know my way around the php its quite an easy site to update.

We recenntly added the game cheats and also SLFinance, the finance services are mainly UK at the moment but when we have some USA offerings in place we will be able to expand the service.

Other things I'm thinking about adding are mobile phone specifications and reviews together with a section on ROMS which seem to be popular at the moment.
