So I created this webzine
« on: 12-10-2013, 22:10:17 »
Out of boredom and the urge to finally do something with this 'got to learn one day how to make a website' feeling I've set up www.DutchReview.com. It's a website aimed at Expats, people with an interest in dutch things and Dutchies abroad with opinionated news, backgrounds, culture and sports. As you can see multiple people write for it now, and well, the thing is going places (but where exactly).
Quite sometime has been put into the project now (finally able to focus the last months with this FH update not arriving  ;D ) and I'm gearing up to finally get it generating some income. As you can see multiple people write for it now, and well, the thing is going places.

Anyways, since I've seen people getting good feedback and support here; I was wondering what your opinion is on the whole site. Design, lay-out, functionality, what you like and dislike etc. etc. Let me hear it!

Pretty nice, not cluttered at all and the theme has Dutch-ness written all over it!

I like it!

@ Siben: Yeah, once every so many wifi-networks refuses connection to our site (prolly 2%). Our host says that just happens sometimes, but that's nonsense of course, FH for example is always reachable.

@ LuckyOne: Thanks, cluttered websites are really out of fashion nowadays. Happy with the design. Feel free to like/follow us ;)

Dear abuzer

i have read your article regarding the USA gun culture and i have to praise you for defending guns, while also pointing out things from both sides.
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

Thanks! haven't written it myself though. Always good to see people commenting :) About defending the guns, it's more that we allow all opinions to be voiced on DutchReview (and countered in the comments)

There are some fun blogs. Aimed at younger persons I guess looking at the used language.

I guess it doesn't work outside the Netherlands since I can't see the site either. :/

Yes, calling De Lift old-fashioned, for example. Shame on the youth of today!

I'm in Germany and can't load it either, but have been able to load the page before, so it's maybe not a general problem that some people can't access it at all. Just that you know. Website looked good when I visited it and it worked, keep it up ;)
