I Made A Website!

Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on something I’ve been thinking about for the better part of a year now: a website dedicated to psychonautics. Yes, I am aware that there are already websites for this sort of thing, but before you write a comment here’s the (very brief) vision for Psychonaut Source (the website’s name):
- It will have 2 primary parts, a forum and a wiki.
- On the forum, users can upload and analyze user experiences and have discussions about data that would be useful to obtain, new personal discoveries, and anything else that might be useful.
- The wiki is a comprehensive collection of information on substances, techniques, and terms related to psychonautics. Information from any website is allowed to be used, but is always referenced and cited. There are three tiers of color-coded text to help roughly identify information’s credibility.
What Differentiates Psychonaut Source From Existing Websites:
- An emphasis on discovery and actively seeking to acquire new knowledge about substances either through user experiences or official literature.
- All information on the wiki is referenced and has an in-text citation.
- All information on the wiki is color-coded to let the reader know at a glance the general credibility of the information.
- The wiki aims to be comprehensive, including all sorts of data from how substances are used to their etymology.
You can learn more about the site at its domain name, psychonautsource.com. Please note that at the moment it is very much in a pre-alpha state of development. Although I am using a content management system called Tiki, I know very little HTML/CSS so have used almost exclusively out-of the box functionality to build the site so far. Even so, it has taken me several weeks of spare time to put together.
Any constructive comments and criticism are very much appreciated, both about technicalities and the concept of the site as a whole! If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to leave comments on each page of the site as well, though note that the comments are moderated right now to avoid spam so you may not see them displayed on their respective pages.

Thanks for the tip. I'm honestly not sure what's happening there so I removed the link. It should still work if you highlight it and then select "Go To..." or type it into your browser.

Its look sorta promising but you need alfabetical sorting or something
Also most of the subjects are empty. Or is that because I need an account to see them?

What page are you referring to? I may have forgotten to change one of the categories to alphabetical sorting. As far as content, I have only started to fill in a couple pages. The rest are blank. Don't worry though, I have a large backlog of research, I just have to transfer it over to the site. I will also eventually allow accounts with editing privileges, but the site needs to be more developed before that can happen. Thanks for the feedback by the way!

Well it is actually alphabetically sorted but now you will get a huge list. I think like this would be handier as the list grows
Botanicals
A - AAx - ABx
B - BAx - BBx
C ..
etc

Agreed! However, as I mentioned in my original post, I'm using out-of-the-box plugins and such right now, just to get the site up and running. The plugin I'm using to list pages in each category doesn't natively display pages by letter, so it will take some extra work to get that working. It's on my to-do list though.
