critique please -> rawkstar.net

Hi,

I've read this ng on and off for a while now so thought I'd post my site for
an opinion... so here it is:-

http://www.rawkstar.net - It's a music site focussed on the UK music scene.

Thanks!

Man. I love your site. Great look and feel. It even look ok on my handheld.
one thing maybe.... if you make your image only the star, and not the start
with the text, it would fit on my handheld perfectly.

i mean to say, take the text ("rawkstar.net") out of the image, and make it
actually text.

Pretty good. Two little niggles though:

1. All lower case headings can be nice -- and they are in your case. But
as it is a presentational effect, you should use CSS:

h2 { text-transform: lowercase; }
<h2>Mini Reviews</h2>

2. You have a few "javascript:" URLs. These are nasty. Use:

<a href="real_page_for_people_who_dont_have_javascrip t.html"
onclick="foobar(); return false;">Link</a>

For example, ditch this:

<a class="menu" title="mini reviews (pop-up window)"
href="javascript:mini_review_list()">mini reviews</a>

and use:

<a class="menu" title="mini reviews (pop-up window)"
href="http://www.rawkstar.net/minireviews" target="minireviews"
onclick="mini_review_list(); return false;">mini reviews</a>

sweet - perhaps the pages need more in the way of visual focus points for
graphical browsers

You can increase text size in any browser if it's too small for you.

I'd Like to add some more graphics... but I ain't very good with these
photoshop thingamies so I can't do 'em...

I am going to try and get some music related graphics onto the site at a
later date though, I'll need to learn how to use photoshop

Cheers!
