False Alarm and other Excursions

At the risk of appearing really stupid we have decided to come clean about Friday's panic.

What we had forgotten was the move to play Widor's Toccata on the iTunes/iPod pages to make sure that those visitors heard at least one example of our music. What we overlooked was that the volume of hits on those pages was so high that it created a very noticeable discrepancy with the expected number of hits from the product page - doh!

Still the fix has worked and visitors will be none the wiser - apart from a few who were caught out by the effect of our changes - it was their problems which caused the penny to drop.

Even more irritating is the return of our menu problem. The integration between Webstyle 4 and Dreamweaver seems to have broken and they are out of step with each other and we think that is why the JavaScript is currently not working for the pull down menus - more testing and checking today.

A bonus from the new stats provided by our ISP was the hint this morning that Feedburner is generating some visitors to this blog. The initial ie first 6 months results had been so boring that we stopped looking and the URL fell out of our Firefox regularly/recently visited sites list. Fortunately we had used pretty standard registration details and were able to get back in and find that 4, yes 4, people have signed up to receive this as an RSS feed. This was matched by 4 robots so the humans have not made the robots redundant yet!

Adding to the collection or ...

There are more opportunities to add to this collection but we think that it is now time to make some additional payment options available. For low cost items, credit card transactions are rather expensive so we will need to trade the benefits to us of larger orders against a premium for individual track purchases. This means adding shopping cart facilities along side the simple BitPass functionality and is going to be a bit of a programming challenge. More of this anon - in the mean time here is another Brandenburg Concerto LoFi streaming sample - first movement of No3 from Johann Sebastian Bach himself and our arrangement on steel drums and marimba - full HiFi track only 0.99$(US).

Shop Re-opens

The PHP upgrade on my server precipitated closure of the shop for a couple of weeks but I finally found the time to work through the backlog of OS Commerce upgrades that I had been putting off and Lo and Behold the shop is working again. I still need to do a bit of testing on the shopping cart arithmetic and make sure that the downloading is still working properly after the changes I have made. I'll also have a look at the recent contributions to see if there are any other improvements I should be making. In the mean time there has been another surge of Ranking changes on Google as reported on Rankpulse and it is evident that our rankings continue to swing around on a daily basis but our overall position and visitor numbers seem pretty stable - even the shop closure didn't seem to have much of an impact.

Out of Beta

Blogger is out of beta and that was pretty painless. The new features look quite interesting so we'll give them a go shortly. No collaborators on the search engine yet so I think we'll do a page on the main site and see what we can achieve from there. My news group post killed the thread I responded to - so nothing from that source either. An index page update was picked up by Google the following day so we seem to have all that part of the system sorted and I finally got round to tidying up the title and description so that might generate more responses. We are ending the year on over 2000 visitors a week on the main site but not many on this blog - I'm really doing it for my personal benefit now but it helps to imagine that anyone could come along and read it. In fact I suspect that we have far more readers of individual pages thrown up by searches than we do regular readers.
