A New Review Site For Quake Maps!
As suggested by RickyT23, I decided to re-post this as a news item.

I just created a website for the purpose of reviewing Quake maps called QuakeBlast.

http://quakeblast.webs.com/

If anyone is interested then they can send me the maps that they create with SleepWalkR's new editor :)

Note that while the creation of TrenchBroom is what inspired me to finally create my own site there is no rule that demands maps to be created with TrenchBroom in order for them to be reviewed on the site.

I will review all maps (even horrible ones) assuming that certain conditions are met. Expect to see the site updated very soon with more information!

I like the quake background.

I would recommend that you remove all the links that have nothing in them.

I personally feel that the links "Photos", and "Videos" should not be there. I would think that links like those would only be available when viewing a particular map, but not those links in general.

The link "Review Blog" sounds funny to me. I mean, I never seen a review site in the form of a blog. Doesn't seem right. I would remove that link.

I would remove the "Members" link, because it's really not that important. Same goes with Guestbook.

If you really want to keep those links, then they should be placed elsewhere. Placed in the footer, in a menu called "Extra" or something.

Your main menu should really only be something like: "Home", "Submit Map", and "Contact" for starters.

No need for a link for "Reviews", really, your homepage should be the reviews. Your homepage shouldn't be a blog. It should be the reviews.

I would move the homepage to a page called "About" and put "About" link in that footer menu I mentioned(above) "Extra"

The right column with "Signin | Register" should be removed completely. You want as much space as possible, and that column seems useless so far. I recommend that the "Signin" and "Register" links be placed somewhere in the top right corner of the website.

I only say this based on years of experience of doing websites myself. 
 
Keep it in mind that the site was just being created and that everything on it is subject to change. All of those links and places that you mentioned were already there by default, and not because I added them.

You can be certain that the finished site will look considerably different.

That said, I fail to see what is wrong with having the reviews on a seperate page or even pages. It would make it easier to organize different things. 
 
Also I forgot to add that I am currently using a free domain (hence the "webs" being in the name) but after a while there is a real chance that I might upgrade the site to go beyond this (meaning that it would simply be called www.quakeblast.com with there being no "webs" in-between"). This would give me more options and power over the site, but would also cost money. So before that I instead going to use the free version for now while I decide how I want to do things. 
 
Still, you were right about the "review blog" thing sounding stupid so it has been changed right away.

Anyways, I am extremely tired right now so I am going to get some sleep. Expect me to work more on the site tomorrow. 
 
what is wrong with having the reviews on a seperate page or even pages.
It's a common mistake that many people--including myself--make.

Many times a person will start a website, and have sections such as "News", and "Forums", etc. but eventually they realize that everyone is clicking the "Forums" only. So, eventually they make the Forums be the homepage. It's all about Web Usability, and reducing the amount of clicks a user needs to click.

If you feel the primary focus is to be a blog, then I suppose your homepage would be blog. But I have a feeling everyone will be going to the reviews page, therefore your homepage should actually be the reviews page, and everyone will love you for it.

I suppose a reviews website could be in the form of a blog. That would be a new and interesting approach. Perhaps your reviews website is unique in that sense, where each review is a blog post?

But you would still eventually have an archive of reviews, and I think people would be visiting that more often.

Also, you can display more reviews in the form of a gallery, and such.

Be careful with the domain name changing. Your domain gains reputation the longer it's alive, so, if you can somehow manage to get the correct domain for free, that'd be great. 
Reviews 
To get started maybe review some maps you know are good or interesting - while you wait for those made with TB to get up to speed.

http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/

Is where they are, but there's a lot :)

So I humbly suggest these;

The Living End by Necros (Grim medieval map crawler)
Zerstorer Turtle Map pack (excellent map collection linked to a classic SP mod)
The Castle of KooHoo by Vondur (Legendary)
Concentric Devastation by Lunaran (epic, single level mod)

The above is a decent cross section that anyone new to Quake would want to know about, although maybe a bit on the epic end of the spectrum.

Of course, if you get bored / are very enthusiatic you could try doing some of the multiple map packs / mods as well;

Rubicon2
Insomnia by CZG
Nehahra
Something Wicked this way Comes by Tronyn / PM
Operation Urth Magik
Contract Revoked by Kell
In The Shadows by Sock 
This Is Good News Though, No? 
New review site! 
 
This is awesome news! Don't forget to advertise your site outside the Quake community. You are welcome to directly link to zip files at Quaddicted if you want, I do absolutely not consider that "evil deeplinking" like some people do.

http://taw.duke4.net/ is still around too. http://spmapcorner.blogspot.com/ never got the attention he deserves! 
 
Ahh, well, there you go. :)

That taw.duke4.net looks nice, for being a blog-orientated reviews site. 
 
Concentric Devastation by Lunaran (epic, single level mod)

too many enforcers, rubbish boss 
 
Made up for by an awe-inspiring, extremely useful Vondur secret! 
Well 
Boss was too complex but the layout was great and there were plenty of decent custom enemies to slaughter.
