i made my first eagle pcb the other day after reading some really great tutorials by both gaussmarkov (http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/tools/software/eagle-cad/) and instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/Turn-your-EAGLE-schematic-into-a-PCB/) and very tediously going through the process.  although i'd like to think that 8-9 hours of working at it is pretty good to learn a new piece of software and create a layout...  :) 

anyways, i'd like to get it printed over at goldphoenix (http://goldphoenixpcb.biz/quote2.php) and i just want to double check and make sure what i send them is correct.  it's a two layer board with silkscreen...

i think everything is good!  the only errors i get are overlaps with a few component names (using the solder mask as text) and the top layer traces (although not connecting any two traces -- for example:  it has 2n3904 written in solder mask which is touching a top layer trace.  no biggie...)  i don't think those should matter...  also, i found a pretty good tutorial on making gerber files from the eagle files here - http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/se-inoue/e_eagle44.htm  -- but i'm not totally sure i've done it right.

if anyone can help me out and just look over the files quickly, that would be great!  i could send you a board for your time...  just pm me your email so i can send you the .brd and .sch files.

Shoot me a msg and I'll look at them for you if you like. I use Eagle and Gold Phoenix all the time.
