    CityEventsCalendar.org

    o.k. well, it's nothing special in the looks department compared to some of these awesome looking heavily-modded sites, but I thought the idea was pretty good. Would love to get some feedback...

    Looks very nice and clean. The only thing that bugs me is that the Event date header doesn't line up with the dates below..and to a lesser extent, the location. I only noticed it because mine isn't perfectly aligned either

    But yeah I agree - a really great idea

    I like it. Especially the Star Ratings and the buttons you used for the social media site links. I haven't seen that style before.

    Thanks for the input.

    It actually sorts by star rating by default on the front page and category pages. I'm trying to encourage people to use them more so they'll encourage people to come rate their stuff to keep it on the front page.

    The social media buttons are from the Tweet This plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-this/

    I did play with the alignment of the titles ad nauseum and finally decided I'd just come back and try to fix it when I had more time, lol.

    Very nice! The rating really adds a nice touch. How did you get so much posts so quickly? Do you advertise heavily?

    Heh, well if you look at the posts closely, you'll see only about 200 or so are other people's posts. The others are mine. I used the CSV2Post plugin to upload them all. They all have my affiliate links in them where the button and Tickets & Info links are.
