There's a difference between a user and someone who creates an account just to show off their website.

Definitely true.
I didn't feel OP was only trying to show off site.

It's effectively a one page site using bootstrap. So what? You're using CP to promote your site and that is a non-no.

I do recall your sig for a long time. Just saying.

I agree but that was my sig and it didn't say: here, look at my amazing site and I never made a post explicitly extolling the virtues of said site and proclaiming how clever I am for doing nothing special.

So, how is your APOD not SPAM?

You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

So if you own it then it is SPAM? That is your criteria?

Everything is spam to anyone who doesn't like it. I tend to skip all the daily OTDs and only go for the irregular OTDs (such as my own).

It appears that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Not my site - I stand to gain nothing by it and it was not my very first post. I was here for many years before doing that and it appears that one or two enlightened souls actually like it.

No, just very earnest with some odd ideas. Pretty much like the rest of us.

I have been getting away wioth posting AGW stuff in the lounge, because its in my sig, for ages.
And now, its anti Israel stuff!

Way to call attention to yourself.

3 page :P, just learning ASP.NET MVC 4(hence bootstrap template) and RacvenDB. In my opinion Id rather make up a product and build it rather than build a guest book. Just an exercise in the grand scheme of things. Nice syntax highlighting for all languages that can be added. A nice editor to add code. And more to come.

I'm sure it will be a great site and I'm sure you're an amazing developer and I wish you all the luck with your career and you can put whatever you want in your sig. It is simply considered poor form to make your first post a blatant advert for your web site (regardless of what it might be doing).

That's great: write an article; that would be better suited for here: bear in mind that this will all be forgotten history by tomorrow and it is unlikely that anyone will go to look at your site whereas if you were to write an article about a particularly cool thing that the site does or how you solved a coding problem, that would have more life and draw more views.

I really wanted an opinion on the idea, what people thought it looked like etc. Not fussed on driving traffic and people not using it. If it does start attracting, it wont be due to this thread.

It just looks like a bootstrap site and the default one at that: nothing special, nothing wonderfully different.

Thanks, I may give it a little more. Design is something I struggle with however I am trying to improve.

there is a little more once you login but yeah it is what it is.

I don't think it's spam, for what it's worth.

I agree.We all link to our personal websites in sigs and posts whenever it suits us.

But not on your very first post!
