I am up and running!

Re: I am up and running!

Thankyou for checking things out for me. I havn't paid
much attention to the adds to be perfectly honest!
I'll have to check those out today.

I finally found out why some computers were getting
'active x' errors. It seems that you need 'Realplayer'
to play the mp3 sounds properly. I downloaded that
on this computer and now the errors have gone.

I had intended to have the site mostly bluegrass, but
the folks at church wanted to be included! So, I added
a page for them! Of course, I also had to add a page
for my wife to play with!

Re: I am up and running!

well, here I go again whining....but i feel it is important to speak for all the people living in the dial-up darkages with me....I SOO want to see your site as I love the subject...but after more than a week and several attempts each day...I'm so discouraged....today there were 3 active x boxes (better than the other day, though) and every minute I had to refresh and STILL got red x and just a little bit of your page actually loaded. After 4 refreshes, i just give up.

I'm not saying any of this to make you feel bad or to be mean...I know I'm in the stone ages.......i HATE to post negative things...but I just thought you would want to know from a different perspective.

Please think of your target audience....if they all have high speed connections, then my rambling is pointless. But if there is any chance that even half of them are on dial up...???

Is there any way you could separate your site into smaller pages?

Ok, sorry for my whining. I'm sure you have a wonderful site and I would love to hear your music someday!! At least I got to see your picture and your group's picture at the top of the page! Looks like a fun group! I will try and view it again in the future!

Maybe i better get satellite.

Hey Island! I have made some improvements on my site
www.baldwincomusic.com if you want to check it out.
I was wondering if you have looked into going wireless
in your area? WIFI is growing in popularity all over the
world. Dial up, as you know, is about 56kbps, wifi wireless
is around 10 to 100 mbps. So, even areas where dsl or
cable might not be the right choice, wifi could be an
alternative with speed and economy. One other thing,
seems that Realplayer is needed to remove the
control page errors. It is free at:

Way Better, Brad! Thanks! YOu went from over 64 items to load on the first page to half of that.

Just so you know, millions of people are on dial up not by choice, but because other services are not available in their area.

Good luck on your music! It is delightful!
