Specifically for @Yawa (but other comments welcome):

@Yawa, we took your advice re: "endless scrolling" and revamped the site a bit. We stuck to a 2-column layout (you'd recommended a 3-column layout), but I think we fixed that issue.
Would appreciate your further comments on the present look, ease of use and functionality.

Thanks!

hmm, had to stare at the url like 10 times before the chinese part of my brain finally kicked in

I don't recall what the site looked like before but I like what I see now, within the context of endless scrolling. A couple issues though:

1) Click "register (in FF)", enter a bad email address and click "next". Note the bleed through on the page that follows

2) I would probably swap the tag cloud with the categories as I don't think tag clouds are more relevant that your categories. If you went my route, you could further reduce scroll by changing the tag cloud area from a square to a rectangle that spans with width of the lower cell, thus again further reducing the scrolling of the page. Make sense?

good luck!

lol, thanks @Yawa for your time and patience.

As always, we'll take your suggestions on board and iron out the issues you raised, and let you know.

Thanks again - much appreciated!

Hi @Yawa - we have effected the changes you suggested: the issue with the bleed that occurs when a wrong email is entered in the registration page has been resolved, and we have placed the categories in a more prominent place.

With regards to the tag cloud, we chose to remove it altogether - at least for now.

Do stop by when you have the time - and let's know what you think!

Thanks again.

Much better

Just one more (sorry, can't help it ) thing: Maybe you shorten the length of your search textfield

It looks way better now, that's for sure. Thanks for not taking my comments personally. In the end, we all become better developers

Thanks again, @Yawa - much appreciated. We have reduced the text search field to 35% of what it was - didn't want to reduce it more so as not to leave a 'too-obvious' gaping space on the right. Should be ok now.

Again, much appreciated.

Now I feel like I am the one running the project

1) align the search, the "register" and the twitter to the right such that they all line up with the rightmost side of the categories

2) Put some kind of background on the search field to make it visible. It took me a minute to spot it.

Thanks @Yawa - you are more or less part of the NigeriaReviews team already!

Recommendations implemented - as usual, thanks for your time.

perfecto!

Always think of your layout in terms of a grid. That'll do it from me, for now
