W
elcome to The Consigliere's™ Site Evaluation. This is a free service we provide upon request from you. Our Webmaster and our Support Staff do a complete non biased evaluation of your site. There are many things that we look for in this evaluation such as HTML codes, spelling, speed of page loading, images, music, copyright authorization etc. As stated earlier, this is a non biased evaluation that sometimes you will like and sometimes you won't. Remember, this is our staff's opinion on your site that you can either accept our recommendations or not. On a final note, if you are on this page you have been sent an email telling you to be here. These evaluations are not placed in public access for all to view unless you give the URL address to people to view.
The Metal Gear Files
The below HTML evaluation is just of the opening page unless otherwise requested by you. Let us start with the embedded music on the pages. The embed tag is located in the <HEAD> section and should be as high as it can be in the <BODY> section. The music does not always load and when it does it is very choppy at times with static. One reason it does not always load is because you have it in the <HEAD> section and use a regular music embed tag that can cause static. Links are the next point we looked at on your pages. We did not find any dead links on your pages. If there are dead links on the pages you link to it is not your concern and have no control over except if you want to advise those sites of this problem. You have changed the color of your links slightly as to differentiate them from the text. You still have some of your text underlined as with the links. If this is your choice then leave it as such.

[ HTML Evaluation ]
[ Music Repair ]
We do understand that the music is embedded in the <HEAD> section because of the page builder you use. This you don't have control over. The only way to get around this problem is to edit the HTML codes by hand and insert the music tag in the body section.
The loading time on the below page;
[ http://www.geocities.com/oosnake45/themgfiles.html ]
is still slow, and the reason being is that the java applet you use loads slowly. This is a normal thing with java applets. The only problem with slow loading pages is that according to stats taken, if a page does not load within 10-15 seconds, people tend to close it and view other pages.
Spelling And Sentence Structure
On a whole the spelling is excellent on your pages. We only found two spelling errors that you may of overlooked and they are on the below URL.
http://www.geocities.com/oosnake45/themgfiles_disclaimer.html
The word Agree and
the word Disagree are spelled wrong.
You have them as Aggree & DisAggree
The below sentence structure is wrong and redundant
http://www.geocities.com/oosnake45/themgfiles_contact.html
Yes, this is the contact page. Please if you have any questions or ideas on the site, please contact me. Tell me how good this site is, how I could make it better, or even if my web page making skills stink and I should just make them come to an end. In any case contact me.
As you noticed all the color coded words. Also you see what I have drawn a line through. The words that I struck a line through are not used. A web designer is a professional and never belittles him/her self with comments such as those. Your site represents something. Don't you think the sites your link to and represent want to be proud of who displays their products.
Tell me how good this site is This is as though you are fishing for a compliment on your site. It is in bad taste to look for compliments. They will come as time goes by. You do not need to ask for them.
The entire above paragraph should be written as below;
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact me. I really appreciate your input.
"The Contact Page" The way it shows you should remove the (") signs. It is not necessary since the font is larger than the rest and it does not look correct with the " split on two lines as you have them.
Note: You can Instant Message me whether I am online or not....
This is a misuse of the pronoun "me". It is redundant and not needed. The implication is already there by having the email address and the on line presence showing. You need not repeat it with more words.
It should be written as such;
Note: You can send email or an instant message. As soon as I log on, I will receive your transmissions and reply as soon as possible.
For other updates on the mission look at these pages, too.
There should be no comma after the word pages and you should substitute the word also for too.
You have to understand that spelling and sentence structure is very important when you do most everything. To have a good command of the language is a powerful tool that gives you a level of professionalism that commands respect. Bad grammer and sentence structure will stick in a person's mind more so than correct command of the language. Poor grammar and structure will give people the idea that you just threw it together and really did not care. Take pride in your work and it will be appreciated and rewarded as time passes.
I n conclusion after examining your site for the second time, we feel that is well designed other than the comments we have made. Your information is well presented and is covered quite well. We rate sites on the second evaluation by stars. Five being the highest and one being the lowest.
This being our second evaluation, we feel that it deserves a "4" star rating.
Any comments or questions pertaining to this evaluation should be directed to our
