Congratulations :)

Now hereby my comments:
1) When search is not finding anything, don't assume that I would like
to add the host, I may have entered the wrong URL, so I would like to
stay in search!
2) Do not use Please contribute for adding new hosts, use the same
term as elsewhere Add host! Contribute sounds more like you are asking
for a contribution to keep the site going :)
3) Don't understand why login requires the use of recaptcha, can you
clarify?
4) Add markers, so I know which fields are required when rating a
host.
5) I am running 1024x768 so the host matrix extends outside the
display view. Maybe your stars could be smaller?

Looking forward to hear you story of how it went from the start to the
realization (going online) :)
Enjoy,
   John
