You are the 2671th metalhead to visit this page.

Shouldn't that be "2671st"?

The links aren't very clear. Either underline them or use a stronger colour
like yellow.

Try adding some headings to make the pages more interesting and readable.

Links are not easily distinguished from regular text. You need more
color contrast and/or underlining, especially for links other than in
the navbar. You're also using the same color for visited and unvisited
links. This is not good for usability. You visitors want to know where
they've already been.

I can imagine big websites would greatly benefit from a seperate visited
link color, but would that really be necessary for a small site like
this one?

You do need a heading on each page. People are not accustomed to looking
at the URL to determine whether they're on the Band or Biography page.

Mhh, good point. Never thought of that actually.

On the Media/picture pages, you are resizing full-size images via HTML
height/width attributes, rather than using separate thumbnail images.
This is bad for a number of reasons, one of which is unnecessarily long
download times. Pity your visitors on dial-up, please. Besides, if you
make actual thumbnails, you can crop and get the scaling right so they
won't look stretched any more. If you don't have an image editor, there
are freebies:
URL:http://irfanview.com/> or
URL:http://gimp.org/

Yes, I know this. The problem is that I'm using php to automatically
generate the picture pages based on the available directories and files,
and I'm still trying to figure out how to solve the thumbnail thing.
Btw, I use The Gimp for all my image editing ;-)

Damn, you're right. Totally overlooked this. Same problem with 2nd by
the way... Have to look into this one.

As for me - i'd also make the central cell (where the text is) a little
bit brighter - maybe#666666.
This would make the reading more comfortable - less contrast and not so
eye-stinging.

You are the 11st doodiehead to make that mistake today.
Or maybe the 12nd, but who's counting ;-)
