MusicBoxer.com

So whether you knew this or not, this here musicboxer.com website has been running in what developers call “beta mode” for the last 2 years. Why? Well… that’s kind of easy to answer. We didn’t know what the site would be when we started. We had a ton of ideas and a ton of people that wanted to help but things change. Sometimes it takes a little while to find an identity. It took us two years. But now we have a pretty good handle on what this shit is all about and a fairly stable cast of characters to help us do this site all up right.

And with all this comes a brand new site. Yes, that’s right. Music Boxer will relaunch this weekend with a whole new look, new features and everything will be better. I hope. We’ve taken our time with the new design to make sure it works and looks good. We hope you like it.

So yeah… this weekend Music Boxer will be down but come Monday morning there will be a new “alpha” Music Boxer for you to enjoy.

Peace out.

Oh yeah… the “launch party” is going to happen… soon. Details will come. Promise.

There are BIG things coming to Music Boxer. BIG I tell you! The first of which is the addition of advertisements throughout the site. We’ve partnered with Google to post ads on the site so we can pay our bills and pay our contributors.

That’s all a good thing. Us making money will make the site better.

That said, please visit our sponsors. Often. Visit each of them every time you come to Music Boxer.

I’m plugging away on a number of other changes and I am getting ready to completely redesign the site. Good times.

Thanks for reading!

In case you haven’t noticed, a couple of us here at Music Boxer now have little images by our comments. Well… that’s because we have added a plugin that connects the comments to your Gravatar account… assuming you have one.

So if you do, when you enter your email address as you leave a comment, your Gravatar will pop up right next to what you have to say.

Neat right?

What will the interwebs think of next?

If you don’t have a Gravatar account… then go get one here.

We are finally getting a Twitter account set up for Music Boxer. I know… nothing like being a year late to the party.
