Good start. Hard to find all the articles. I would use WordPress which has a number of magazine type formats. Let me know if you get free shit from manufacturers. A lot of dudes have gear review blogs to score stuff. That's why we don't even get a reach around here. We are pure and unsullied. :))

I have a navigation bar at the top with all of the categories, just click whatever subject you want to see.

How was it hard to find the articles? Let me know and I will see if I can do something about it

It is Wordpress, it’s just heavily modified

Scoring free swag isn’t the reason we started this – we have longer term plans, and its not really a gear review blog - but I sure ass hell wont turn down any free shit

But if you want to be the first I would like to review a DPX H.E.S.T. if Randall has one lying around – But I can pretty much say already that its a good knife because all his knives are nice and reasonably priced.

a lot of the smaller "computer hardware review" websites are a partially a ploy by their authors to get $3000-$4000 of free stuff a year... Write up a glowing review for the latest $300 gaming/enthusiast motherboard, $450 video card, $350 Intel or AMD workstation CPU, it adds up. :)

I have a small site like that here in Iceland with a few of my mates, we have a strict policy of sending all samples back to manufacturers or stores.
