Hey all here's a project I'm finishing up. Any chance I can get a site check? Please check links, spelling, grammar, cross-browser issues, etc.

I haven't tested this in IE6 yet (I assume its pretty busted). However, if you get any issues/errors PLEASE POST YOUR BROWSER/OS COMBO with the error so I can replicate and fix.

everything looks great from my end, only the 'guestbook' link refuses to work, from the few pages I tried it from... (this mozilla)

I've got IE6 at work, I'll take a look when I get to the office....

Yeah sorry the guest book is off for the moment as I try to hack the 3rd party system to look like the rest of the site.

I'm scared of whats going to happen with IE6. At the very least I'm sure it needs a png fix, at worst the layout may go crazy.

I HATE YOU GRAPHIXBOY! Well not really, but you make this look so easy! ANother great job. Only thing, and this is just me probably, the text looks a little small. I love the CSS! Especially the subtle drop shadow. Haven't seen that used and it look nice in a while. GREAT JOB!

I like the background color because it matches the guitar. Nice job on the graphics! Now you just need to work on getting some traffic to it... I noticed your ranked 24,xxx,xxx alexa traffic. That means your getting zilch for traffic.. Maybe 1-3 visitors per day?

You should look into blogs, backlinks, and wordpress for free advertising.... ;-) Go for high pagerank, traffic, and blog reaction and you'll see your traffic at least triple overnight.

I think the site is nice, but needs one of those counters to see how many visitors you've had. Those are cool. :)

That was sarcasm. Kind of like the rainbow logo and all centered text :)

man you guys just killed all my goto design tools. Oh well at least nobody said anything about the <blink> tag (which if I remember correctly was always best applied to the entire background) :-)
