Well, this is an opening that I created. At least I think so. Anyway, its an interesting opening, one that I think does have certain advantages. I would like to know what you guys think of it.

well 1. c3 is the Saragossa Opening and I think 2...Nc6 isn't the best move (posslibly 3. d5!?) just exd4 seems fine for black.

3.f4 does have the problem of leaving e4 as a hole which can be used by black.
Yes I agree with both of you, but I really like how f4 attacks the middle square. And then possibly pawn e3?

Well, it has one too many pawn moves for my taste, and of course as OMGdidIrealyjustsact stated, there is a hole at e4 that can be exploited by Black. I personally don't think it looks like that good of an opening, but if it works for you, then by all means, use it!
Alright, I'll put your advice to good use.
