Introduction

99.9% of all Nirvana pages that "make it big" started out as a small page with a dream.  If it works hard enough, the page can become something.  This is a page of that such, it is still in it's early stages of development.

Connectivity Test

• Modem:  US Robotics 56K Winmodem

• Connection speed could not be determined.

• "Welcome" pages are included in the test

For Internet Explorer, the page completed it's download time within 20 - 30 seconds.  Netscape Navigator also completed the download for the site in about 30 seconds.  The major contributing factor here was my ISP, and I strongly believe the page will download in a lesser time on better connectivity.

As I have mentioned earlier, it is the reason of my ISP that I think the page downloaded so poorly.  Yet the chart about suggests that the page did download like it was supposed to. 

Page Interface

A very, very simple format here.  We all used this kind at one point or another.  The page has a black background, a picture of Kurt, to the left are the links that serve as the navigational source for the site -- they do not stick around for the whole deal.  Below that is some reasons for creating the site and such from the author.  I suggest experimenting with the site's interface a little bit and see what you can come up with, because it is your site.  Try to add tables or whatever to spice things up a bit.

Site Content

There's not a whole lot of content here, but keep in mind that the page (or at least I think so) has just been around for a short time.

• Pictures - 18 pictures in all.  There are actually a few I haven't seen before.  There are no thumbnail previews provided for the pictures, only numbered links.

• Links - At the time of this review there was only one link, a site that I admire very much.  I suggest adding some more links, and it doesn't have to be a lot of links, just to sites that serve a specific purpose.

• Lyrics - for the albums Nevermind and the follow-up, In Utero.  Even for these two albums, the lyric set is not completed.

• Text-version of the suicide note

Conclusion

Even though the site did not have that much, and even though I can not strongly recommend visiting this site, I do think you should e-mail the author of the site and give him some suggestions.  Not everyone is telepathic and can read your mind.  The best way to see the site you want on the internet is to either make one or give suggestions to a viable one.  It's the only way to make it.  Still, I do wish the site the best of luck and I hope to review it in the near future.
