Good, but you'll need a bibliography page to credit your sources, once you put the information up. In addition to what swine flu is and how it's spread, I'd like to know where in the world the pandemic is raging. I'm happy there are no pictures of pigs, but I think a picture of the virus itself or someone sick would help add visual interest. Don't forget to also cite where you got the images from. The feedback page is curiously blank for me? Also, what's happening with the swine flu vaccination, and possibly some background information on SARS and bird flu as it applies to control mechanisms and quarantine for swine flu. It looks like you've got the ideas in your head, now you need to put them onto paper... er... internet.

I have to agree with Malkin. It's a good page, but references would boost your credibility quite a lot. They make you look smarter too.

Ah yes, I can see it now. What do the orange asterisks mean?
I saw a couple of good episodes of Behind The News, a news program for primary-aged kids, the other day... it's good if you want to get your head around issues. quarantine, swine flu
For something a little tougher, try the World Health Organisation's Swine Flu website.

I heard Swine Flu is not really worse than a normal flu. I already had some flus (sometimes even with near-death temperatures) but I am still not sure why all that trouble... 
The site is still a good idea.

I think you need to cut the "about this site" section from the main page. As soon as I see you're 13 I'm gonna look elsewhere for information. While I'm stereotyping, if I was looking for potentially important information regarding my health and that of others, I would not look to a kid's guide to it. Its mean but I'm looking at it from a practical perspective. You can make a little about me page and write that you're 13, because chances are by the time i get to that page I'll have already looked through the rest of the site and mentally rated the content for credibility. By that point your age wouldn't matter, if the site was informative enough. But don't flaunt it right from where i open the page. And I don't mean any offense, I'm not implying that you're immature or don't know what you're talking about. I'm just saying if i was a visitor that found your site in a search while looking for swine flu info and i saw "I'm 13" right on the front page, I'd look elsewhere.
Also "swine flu" should be in quotes, IMO, since there is really little actual evidence linking this particular strain to swine. And you should write about that.
Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions?
