I took a look at the source code, and half expected it to be made using Microsoft Word.  That's vintage 1997 web design right there.

I found the email error because I was looking at the source expecting meta tags indicating Word or some other editor.

Take a look at the CSS class names.  Somebody doesn't understand how you're supposed to use them.

Well, I haven't actually paid him anything yet but the bill is a whopper. I'm thinking I need to pay this guy to get access to the addresses he reserved for me. It's also on his server. "Bandwith, blah blah". He has done other promotion for me such as the interviews, an article in their local entertainment rag and the flyer artwork so I guess if you look at it as a whole package it's not as bad of a deal as it could be.

I do want a better artist on the job. When I bring in this better artist is it feasible/smart to just do that and keep it on their server along with the use of the other services they offer? They SEEM like they're trying, their art sucking is just one aspect of the whole picture.  I guess I might as well see where the results go. What's today, the 13th? Only a couple two three more weeks and we'll know more.


You have to remember. I'm approaching this from a contractors point of view. Sure, do crap work and hand me a big bill. I'll pay it but see if you work for me again.

Father is Dutch, mother is Polynesian. She dyes her hair black but you didn't hear that from me.  :-X

 I never knew then one day I caught her with brown roots and said, "Heeeyyyy..."  :lol:

No, I got me a certain photog/design Guru in mind. You can see an example of his work above.  ;)

I got the oboes but the brain still stumps me. Uless he's trying toi say it's too brainy of an album.  :cool:

Side note, had my very first CD Baby sale. The first online purchaser of my CD lives in,,,drum roll please,,, TOKYO!!  :laugh:

That's actually a good sign, them Japanese like their music.

Slight SNAFU, I don't have any export licenses yet. Oop...  :O

Guess what's just jumped to the top of the list for this morning.  :facepalm:

Your 'Contact Us' link is a little broken.  'Contact U' points to the correct address and the 's' is a broken link attempting to send mail to REDACTED

Oh yea, I got to email that dude. Thanks for the reminder.  ;)

I've been trying to figure that one out.   ???

I got the Fistful of Oboes.  (Hello, Obviousman !!)  =D :lol:

I got the brain in palms.  (This is your brain on APS)  ;) =D


Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Further thought leads me to believe this in reference to the meme.
