I got the Music page up. It’s not done, but it’s up (smart, right?). I figured out how to change the banner from the swirly blue thing to some pictures of me and my albums. We’ll see if I can get that squared away tonight. I need to make the individual pages for each song which will require a good deal of transcribing and a good deal of ripping off JonathanCoulton.com (which is down right now, and I swear it’s not my fault this time). Then I have to go into the music page (above) and post all the links to those pages. It’d also be nice if I could figure out how to make things nice names like ericginsberg.com/music, instead of the weird URL that it goes to right now (click it up there in the bar and find out).
That’s the bulk of the work that I have to do. Once I’ve got that under my belt, putting in the events should be gravy (as long as I learn some API, but I’ve be surprising myself with my ability to learn MySQL and PHP in the last few days).
So, I should probably write something more interesting and substantial on my about page, if I decide to keep it, I’ll have the music page and the events page. What the hell else do I need? Oh! A store! I need a store! I need a way for you to give me money for things that come in the mail! PayPal funness should take me some time, though. Damn. However, I defy Jonathan Coulton and his Sting-like rock-stardom where in he demands you order tangible things from a go-betwen like CDBaby, CafePress or LuLu.com. “Nay,” I say (like a horse…yeah, I said it). I will personally mail you the stuff that you pay for (this way I can include snarky post-it notes…and keep all of the money).
I’ll whip up a contact page, and maybe a page of links of people/things I endorse. I’m likely going to forego the pages for photos and contests that my old site had, and who needs a blog when I’ve this thing? So that’s three things gone. I will, however, very likely bring back the FAQ. I just never get tired of that thing.
More to come.
