New Readers Start Here:- Story so far

We had a human reader this morning for yesterday's post, visiting us deliberately and followed links through to a streaming sample - not that we want to make you self concious - it's just that we are watching and you are very welcome!

It occured to me that if we are going to get people as well as robots visiting a brief story so far might be in order.

We started the blog last December soon after the site was launched and have tracked the ups and downs ever since.

There was an extended excursion into Podcasting before we realised that our MP3 samples were apparently proving attractive as ringtones. The replacement of MP3 samples by streaming samples and all the accompanying anxiety over compatibility. In practice the change seems to have worked very well and few visitors experience any difficulty.

As a new kid on the block we are trying every free/very low cost trick in the book to try to achieve internet profile for our music and get it infront of as many ears as possible - confident that it will sell itself on its audible merits. How could anyone resist music like this.

For this reason some of the blog is food for spiders who devour it voraciously - for example:

Most recently we have been clarifying our iPod/iTunes compatibility because we offer such good value music to iPod users that can easily be managed with iTunes software.

We are currently working on a Distinctive Ring tones or is that Ringtones collection for discerning mobile phone users who want a discrete and tasteful way to assert their individuality. (We'll be back latter to insert the links.)

In case you weren't aware blogs are just like the books in George Orwell aka Eric Blair's '1984' the editors/ authors can go back and correct history or theirstory with out the reader being aware. Not sure what the spiders make of this but we'll try and find out in due course.

Shopping Online – Protect Yourself

A slight change of tack - I though that the following article makes a good point: Shopping Online -– Protect Yourself These days, there are great bargains to be found by shopping online. Many items that previously were only available in stores are now being bought and sold online every day. Books, cds, DVDs and electronics are all growing in popularity as online purchases. Then there are things like flights, hotel bookings, car rentals and the like that are which are well established in the online shopping world. More and more stores are putting up websites that allow you to make online orders and even supermarkets now let you do your grocery shopping online and they'’ll deliver the goods to your door. Added to this growth in stores and other big business websites, there are also millions of small traders offering you goods online too. Online auction sites such as eBay are experiencing phenomenal success. These types of purchases however carry the risk that you do not really know w

Introducing Children To Music… Strategies For Success

While we struggle to restore full menu fuctionality We thought you'd like to hear about a more uplifting topic: Introducing Children To Music - Strategies For Success I've heard a million parents lament the fact that they didn'’t get their children interested in music sooner. There are also hundreds of adults out there that wish they had learned how to play an instrument when they were younger. Studies actually support the idea that music stimulates certain brain connections and can actually help children grow smarter! Music also provides an invaluable outlet for safe expression of feelings and emotions, and can also serve as an important learning tool throughout your children's lives! Music helps educate in many ways, by developing children'’s memory skills and nourishing their spirit. Now, some children are a bit resistant to music at first, but you can easily find ways to encourage them to enjoy music in many different forms early in life. You need to simply adop

Visitor Volumes down - not sure why

Yes the puzzle continues. We know that there has been a significant Google update but the impact on our SERPs has generally not been too significant - the usual crop of ups and downs spiced up by the odd disappearance. But the last couple of days have been 25% down on the previous working day run rate. Remember - don't panic over a couple of day's figures! So we are going to have a long weekend - back next Wednesday (for our small faithful band of regular readers). This trip will be a test of some technology we are planning to take on a much longer excursion later in the year - so we may improve on that if we find Wifi hotspots in North Wales. If you are one of that faithful band it would be fascinating to hear from you. This daily exercise in one way communication gives focus to my morning review of yesterday's data but the complete absence of response is a bit weird. I have to say it is matched by the lack of response on the SEO board where I have zero credibility and
