I wasn't able to look at everything on the site, since the Geocities bandwidth limit got hit, but from what I saw I'd rank it:
4 - Newbie

Suggestions:
- The different background on every page is kind of disconcerting. It would be better to pick one best one and use that for every page in the site.
- How about giving descriptions or screenshots of the WADs instead of just listing them?
- Remove the background music, it's unnecessary and may annoy some.

I think your site has potential. With improvement it may become quite a good site.

Let's see...

Starting from a 10:

-3 for embedded midis on each page
-3 for freezing Internet Explorer every time I go there (probably all the midis)
+1 for running on Netscape with no problems
+1 for the few halfway decent looking maps and TCs I saw before the bandwidth was exceeded
-5 for using GeoCities
+1 for a nice background on the front page
+1 for not using frames

Total: 3

The whole choosing the midi you want idea would be the better way to go. It's pretty annoying to be rockin' out to my MP3 collection, only to have my mellow TOTALLY harshed by a midi file playing in the background of a site. Sorta like Post Hell's music, but I think that's intentional.

Unfortunately that's not possible - whenever you announce something like this, the site is bound to go down at some point. Next time I put up some SSD screenies and announce it, my site will go down briefly. It's just a crappy bandwidth limit.

You know, even on Geocities, you can prevent your bandwidth limit from being hit by REMOVING THE MIDIS AND EXTRA GRAPHICS. That's probably half -- if not like, 3/4 -- of your bandwidth limit hit right there. If you do the HTML yourself you can simplify it a lot, too.

Browse around for some better hosting.. I managed to snag a free deal from 1&1.com hosting, I have 3 year free hosting (500mg space and 5gig per month transfer limit, .99 cents per gig over) and I snagged a domain name for 5.99 a year through them. Its a business grade package.. highly recommend it.

I am the proud owner of http://www.thesofafox.com

Too Bad i dont know Html Coding,Gotta Wait till next year(10th Grade) till they teach you how to code in html.

I'm 14, and I learned when I was 13. Don't be intimadated; I just bought myself a Dummies book and in about 2 hours I was making webpages. Now, less than a year later, I'm already programming in C++ and Visual Basic, also.

EDIT: And I wanted to stay as far away from HTML when this happened. At least you have some drive to learn it :-)

I won't give a number for this, just plain readable sentences.
A base is established, but -- ok, as you pointed out -- it could still use some design- touchup.
And Change Everything First Letter Caps Up into normal uncapsed letters except names and starting-sentences. Be sparse with way-different colors.
You should drop the worst links :P (and I make no attempts to say which.)

According to what I have read first in this thread (before visiting the page) I would have suggested using a plain black-on-white page, but since my audio device /dev/dsp is currently used and ... blah, I can't hear MIDIs from the webbrowser anyway. Missing plugin I think ;)

Work on it, it might become something.
