MightyGuide.net features a mighty clean design, somewhat atypically putting the logo at the top of the sidebar rather than the header which remains reserved for the main menu. This works well and makes it look more unique as well as efficient. The site tends to give out the attention being paid to detail. In that same spirit, however, there are a few imperfections which I would like to point out.

First, the "read more" button in the "about us" block doesn't seem to work work, albeit there is a prominent "about" link in the main menu at the top.

Secondly, I would make the search box just a little brighter so it is better visible on the dark background on which it lays. Especially on certain LCD screens (like mine), they currently almost blend in to the background if the screen is looked at from a lower angle. Even though, in addition to being a nitpick, all of this really depends on the screen type and settings, it may be best to be safe.

With regards to the article view, there are issues with the ad boxes as the margin between them and the content seems too low and one of the ads sometimes messes up the view and don't always show consistently in the same way. For example, on this page the second ad box is practically in collision with the "share and enjoy" buttons and for some reason jumps off to the right. Having a second ad box might not even be necessary, but if it is kept there is apparently some tweaking to be done in terms of margins and position. And while we're at tweaking ad colors could be adjusted to match at least the ad title colors of the ad in the sidebar. Also, the ad in the about page trumps the available text a little too much. It might be better to use a much smaller format there.

I would also suggest changing the section titles within articles to headings (h2 or h3) instead of using the html "strong" tag making them a little bigger which would make the sections stand out and the article overall more attractive to read.

Finally, I've noticed that many articles that can be accessed via tags and categories menu have nice squared images in their teasers yet none of them are showing with such an image on the homepage. Having an image display in teasers for all articles on site would add to consistency and make homepage and other listings more attractive.

Focus:

The name, "Mighty Guide", by itself isn't very clear. However it does fit the purpose of the site very briefly although effectively outlined in the sitewide "about us" block and in the about page. The naming of article titles and the format of articles as "how to" guides ties up the content of the site into a single consistent theme which makes it appear very well focused and gives it identity.

Focus Rating: 10/10

Content:

There is over 300 guides or how to articles available on site put into 22 categories and accessible via the tag cloud so there is plenty to find. Articles tend to be relatively brief and split into multiple sections usually starting with an enticing introduction about why would someone want to do the guided process in question and then proceeding with more information and instructions.

However, given that these are how to guides and often contain step by step instructions it may be a good idea to use numbered lists or subheadings more for each step which would be easier to follow than when the steps are buried within the text of the section.
This is especially important if we assume that the reader wants to actually have the guide open in one window or tab while trying to do what the guide is about elsewhere therefore interrupting the reading often. If each time such a reader gets back to the article he or she has to scan within the text to get where he or she left off it can get frustrating and make him or her look for another guide.
