I have had engineconversions.org up and running for 2.5 years now. Its appearance/performance is way below what I had in mind. I had/still have visions of it becoming a successful site. I am hoping that I can get it looking as professional as d-series.org, Cumminsforum, or even 4BTSwaps.com. What do I need to do to get there? I can barely get a photo to show up in the header. I can't size the photo to fit the available space. I've got Google AdSense up and running but this also causes problems with the spacing. I have contacted a couple of webmasters but they want thousands of dollars to "fix" my site. I've tried reading on this site and vbulletin.com but it all seems over my head. I'm no dummy (I've got a degree in Mechanical Engineering) and could program in BASIC and FORTRAN at one time. Where is the best place to start?
