Your arriba.gif logo is 65K, which is pretty hefty. Since it uses photographic images, you should try saving it as a jpg instead. The gif format is limited to 256 colors and when it "dithers" attempting to render something like a photographic image, it often turns out to be a much larger file size than a jpg.

The "top 5 Billboard" seems to be centered vertically... would look better top aligned.

I agree it seems there are too many layers to get to an actual lyric. Then when you end up at someone else's site (such as tripod) there's no way back.

Why are you linking to other people's personal sites? Why not have the lyrics on your own site with some formatting that looks better than plain text on grey? You bought a domain, you should be able to host the files you need, not be "borrowing" bandwidth from other people's personal sites. Some free hosts impose a bandwidth cap on personal sites.

the problem is the site uses another sites to show their lyrics. Actually personal sites. It seems that the Michael Jackson link partner has problems. So I've to fix that

Thanks for telling me!
if you want to request a lyrics just do it at the forums.
Thanks

wouldnt dont know mean dont know if you like them or not ?
I'm classed as old so I have an excuse to of never heard or know of them

This is IE site, has a few alignment problems in Netscape, the polls for example have the select box, next line is the blue square, next line is the words. the left column starts down from the top leaving a big black empty square.

I really like the concept of the second banner your using, orange and grey one, I think that top one is to big and busy so to speak. also do you need 3 of your own banners on one page?

As I said before I'm oldish so not many names here I know, so I looked for an artist I knew from the whats new page, I found Micheal Jackson (not really a fan), You Rock My World - Michael Jackson #34 so clicked the link, took me to another page where the choices were bad or invincible (what happened to you rock my world? or was that an album name?) so I click on bad, that took me to another page with all these other names which I think are songs titles, i click on bad again and that takes me to crosswinds.net with a error404, i went back one and picked another, ittimed out at crosswinds.

You have way to many pages to go thru, and the end result isnt on your server anyway, I've had sites at crosswinds and they are very unreliable, always down or having some sort of trouble, the pop ups are also annoying but its free (well one version is) so I get what you pay for

Hmmmm... you've got to do something about that top part there. The three boxes - logo, banner ad, and content area, are just not working for some reason. It's a problem with the width of them - the layout goes out then in then out again (wide-narrow-wide). Try bridging that gap by putting a white box behind the ad the same width as the logo and content area. Actually, what might work better is to just move the banner ad to the top of the page and put the logo below it.

Also move that search by artist part that's now at the bottom right up to the top of the page. I was really confused as to how I'd go about browsing your archive since there isn't a link for that on the left menu.

What the heck is "Linkin park"? Should I know what that is? Maybe you should add that option to your poll

Another thing that's kind of bugging me is the logo. It's boxy in some areas, faded in others and that's not quite working IMHO. I also think that the text should be a little bit bigger compared to the photos.

Otherwise it looks very good. Keep up the good work and get some more content in there!

Well, I liked it overall, really just a couple of things to fix. One is to keep the text from 'hugging the rail' in your text and nav boxes. The other was the border colors in the poll. I think that it would look better without the blue around the checkboxes and the vote button. Of course, then you would need a new vote button, maybe one with some edge bevel.
