In tandem with design improvements I made to jazzrecord.org (which will be detailed in another post), we finally rolled out the JazzRecord.org Blog, a la WordPress! We considered doing this up in Mephisto, the self-proclaimed “best blogging system ever”, but it hasn’t been touched since April, 2008. (Perhaps it got perfect so they decided to not improve it any more? My loss, I suppose.) Therefor, I begrudgingly went along with a WordPress install. And then, we were going to wait until I skinned this bad boy to roll it out, but ya know what? I don’t think you guys have forever, and I’m a busy man. Furthermore, Google Analytics reports that visitors to jazzrecord.org are waning (although it appears that a core demographic of visitors keep on coming back!), so I decided about five minutes ago that we should just get on with it!
World, I introduce to you the Official JazzRecord Blog! Please: bookmark, absorb, subscribe to feeds, reply, read more, come back, tell your dog about us, graffiti-tag the URL onto the sides of buildings (don’t really do that), and then come back again as soon as you break out of the funny/big house!
I will continue to post info. on the status of jazzrecord.org and its documentations, etc. (and also my own contributions to the library, if I ever get time to add another 5 lines! Ha!), and my esteemed co-conspirator Nick Carter will post info. on the status of the library itself. Hopefully Jesse will contribute to the library again and post a thing or two! Or maybe he’ll post about his coffee obsession? I just noticed that Nick rolled out categories–Library, Site Changes, Uncategorized (sexy!), and Wide World of Jazz. So, I guess I’ll be posting about my love for jazz (music) too! Lucky you!! Seriously, please reply on any post that tickles your fancy or makes you scratch your head. The whole point of the blog is that we provide a discussion point with our JazzRecord ORM users! Like always, you can get ahold of us via the jazzrecord.org About page.
Without further ado, I will publish this, the first, blog for Blog.Jazzrecord.Org!!! (I promise sexy skinning soon…sorry.)
