I need your help again. I just reciently aquired another site. http://www.blueshawks.com and would like some honest opinions about this site. Your forum helped me out with my first site jamcaddesigns.com and would like to clean this one up a bit. It uses stock FP templates right now but I am working on a site template for them.

Hi jamcaddesigns,

Nice work looks great. The part I didn't understand is where it says Listen & Buy when I clicked on that link I was hoping to hear some streaming music but I didn't . Was I suppose to ?

The listen and buy page has links for the album taken to another page where you can click on a song and have it play in windows meda player.

Let me begin by stating that I found the metatags somewhat longwinded.

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="keywords" content="Blues,Blueshawks,Music,MP3">
<meta name="description" content="The blueshawks official wesite. Dedicated to the blues.">

Please revamp it to this:

You really don't need the rest and they only use up a bit more bandwidth but serve no purpose really.

You have hardly any text on the index. Search engines are text hungry. The navigation links take up too much space on the site. The jpg image can be optimized at my site http://ejrs.com/optimizers.html

You would want to put your navigational links on all your pages to make it easier to move around page to page. People dislike having to return to the homepage to navigate.

Apart from that I wish you great success.
