Interesting domain name. Sure, we have heard
'cobain.com,' among others. However, through the 30,568 pages I searched, I chose this
one, not because of the name, but rather, it seemed interesting. Interesting it is...,
let's go to the review.
This page does not excerpt a lot of Nirvana
material, given the name 'kurtcobain.com,' it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure
what the topic will really be on. Now, there is an opening page with, 'E-mail the
webmaster.' And a large clickable picture and a 'Click me' banner below that (they will
lead to the next page). Before I go to the next page, there is a nice banner at the top.
The main page is not the most organized. There
are, again, clickable pictures leading to whichever you decide to go to. However, I notice
that there are not any links for lyrics. The pictures section have thumnail views of
the pictures. These are not rare pictures per se, but a good collection nonetheless. At
the bottom of the second page, there is a 'forward/back' button but that one does not
work, you will have to use the secondary one which is not near the bottom. Sometimes
things will run off the page, especially hyperlinks.
Now
the lyrics show. On the red outline beside the pictures. You have each album to click on.
The lyrics are easy to read in the black background with red songtitle and green text.
Next are the quotes, and a few good ones actually. However the grammar (or puncuation) is
not perfect, or too good. The 'Covers' section is very good. It contains the album covers,
bootleg covers, and rarieties covers as well. As for the rare pictures, you may ask, 'Are
they rare?' For some part 'yes' and for some part 'no.' But I have noticed some pictures I
have not seen before.
The 'poems' section contains a poem by Jim
Carroll. In addition the 'Kurt Cobain's artwork' is rather good. It contains more than the
'Mr. Moustache' and 'Bleach band picture.' A great variety of pictures.
Conclusion
Well, that's it. I do feel somewhat
dissapointed, but somewhat satisfied. Yes, it was a good page. It contained some very good
things: pictures, poem(s), and Kurt's artwork. Any suggestions? Yes. Add more information
such as interviews and articles, and possibly a 'links' section, although they are not too
important. The graphics on the page were not bad at all, however I think he did the page
with HTML alone--get a web page builder if you need one.
I hope this page will improve in the near
future..
