    Two things:

    1) It doesn't work under Opera

    2) It requires some applet, it's unregistered so I didn't download it.

    Has too many pop-ups. :( How many frames did he used? And the links uses a large screen resolution, I think, because the browser extended itself over the edges of my screen.

    I agree. The need to download something for the pictures with chrome, all the pop-ups, and how the main site is just detached from the page gets rather annoying.

    The clock thing on the guy's shirt is cool, and the music is kind of cool...

    The main layout is nicely done; very simple to use. However, the "Top Ten" list should give the real title and author's name instead of "Song 1" and "Artist 1".

    As I said, though, the graphics and layout are very nicely done!

    I will rate it by thumbs; the more the better! I will give a discription why afterward.

    Graphics: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Nice job! The spinning name, background, and whole DJ-shirt-clock thing is awesome! However, the bitman should be easier to download... I would give it a 4 1/2 thumbs, but there is not half of one, so I will round up to 5.


    Music: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Neato! I like the track that plays. It should have a nicer play menu, however. The Windows Media Player one is ugly and doesn't fit into the theme very well.


    Layout: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Super! Very easy to use! However, the music menu needs to be easier to understand before you click the links... More specific titles. I take away one thumb for this because it is a major part of the website.


    Ease of Use: :ponder: :ponder: :ponder: :ponder: :ponder:

    Seems quite easy, but it can't be rated for sure because of all the links being down. The ponders would be thumbs for the look of it, but without trying, I can't tell for sure... There is still the music menu thing that I mentioned above, but I will rate it within that category instead of this one.


    Revisit Value: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I really want to see this thing when it is finished! The looks are not boring, and, in fact, make me want to return to them. Friendly atmosphere.


    Total Rating: 22/30 Thumbs

    %73.3

    Not bad! Other may rate it nicer or less nice, but that is my personal rating.

    As I see it, the site would get a nice big B++ on my webchart:

    A = %75 - %100
    B = %50 - %74
    C = %25 - %49
    D = %1 - %24

    There is no F because all websites have SOMETHING!! :D


    EDIT: When trying to close it out, the main page closed, but left the detatched page. I couldn't close it out and had to End Task on it. There should be an emergency close & minimize/maximize buttons added for problems such as that.

    I was able to close it with a simple CTRL+W. :D

    Duh! You use to close any open documents such as a browser, a Word document, MS Excel document, etc. I'm sure you know this command as much as anyone knows CTRL+O to open any documents.

    I actually prefer Alt-F4 to close programs, like most everyone else. I've never used Ctrl-W in my life.

    I don't use ALT+F4 because the keys are too far from each other. :D

    Shut up, Al. It'll give you the magical end-of-the-world spell. I swear.
