Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the idea! Like stevetruong mentioned, the purpose for the FB login is to make registration easier, and to have access to data associated with a users FB account. With that said, you can use most of the site without ever logging in.

Also, good call everyone with the alternative registration options!

Facebook usually just gives the sites extra data and it makes it easier for people who just want one click sign in (at least I think that's why most people do it) but I agree with duiker101 in that you should offer an alternative.

Also the footer bar isn't at the bottom of the page on my resolution so should be fixed.

Thanks for the heads up on the footer! And definitely will provide alternative registration options.

Agree re: Facebook login, great if you want it associated with your FB account, but what if you don't? I'd rather have a raft of possible logins - including OpenID.

word! will definitely start offering multiple registration options.
