Fan Site needs review
Alright, I've gotten this site critiqued before so I did an almost complete redesign.
The site is for a TV show that deals with the life and times of a NJ Mafia family (and their associates), the Sopranos. The site colors have to stay because its the colors of the show!
Dont be too mean, just tell me what you would fix
Thanks in advance for the comments.

You have a problem with your logo image... and other images on the site. It looks like you uploaded them in ASCII. Upload them in binary. Also, the links at the bottom such as "designed by d'angelo web design" are unreadable because of their color. Finally, I have to scroll sideways at 800x600, which is definitely not a good thing.

I dont see a problem with my images. What do you mean? Are they blurry or something? I uploaded them in binary mode.
I'll fix the scroll.

OK, fixed the scroll. It doesnt scroll on the other pages, only on that one cuz the banner on the bottom is within the main table cell, so it exands it (i use percentages)
Anybody else have any comments?

1) Logo looks fine, although there are a few different shades of red in there. But what about to the right of the logo? What are you going to put there?
2) I don't really like the red border around the site. I would just keep the rid HR bars. It would look better.
3) I would make the left side menu wider so the text doesn't go onto two lines. I like the effect you have.
I don't feel like writing anymore..

No, the problem is that the image doesn't show up for me, at all. I'll email you a screenshot. I'm using Netscape, it looks like it does show up in IE.

The red border should go, it just makes the site look weird.
Also your human click thing could be put under your navigation stuff. That would make the page less long.

I don't think the look of this design suits your topic. This is a more functional design, which would work well for presenting a lot of information. But this is an entertainment site - I think that calls for a more exciting, unique design. Definitely put a photo of some sort on the front page, and so something unique and fun with the menu.
Do people really use all these free e-mail services that so many sites have?
You should really increase the font size in your content area. I don't think that anyone should set the font smaller than the default unless there's a really good reason to. (it's okay for copyright statements and other "fine print") It's just really hard to read at that size and as we should all know by now, it'll look even smaller on a mac.
