NEWS AND UPDATES

My campaign to take over the 'net continues. Well - not really, but I am still working hard to update and promote our internet presence and make our music projects available to an ever widening circle of friends and customers.

• 4/23/2010 - Finally bit the bullet and took on MySQL databases and PHP big time - the Kingsfold Music Sheet Music Store is now database driven. Whereas before I had to make and maintain an individual page for each item (yuck!) - now there is just one page that is automatically populated with the appropriate information from a database in response to User input. The irony is that you will see hardly any difference in the presentation of the page - but it certainly makes things a LOT easier on this end! The process of getting new material up will now be greatly simplified! No more excuses!!!
• 6/30/2010 - Have now re-revised the site! I added a search engine for the music database, but it's placement necessitated a redo of the navigation menu, which is now horizontal and completely CSS powered - no javascript! I have also changed the listing of available music to the 20 songs included in the Sacred Gateways book, and have made those available for immediate download via the PayLoadz.come digital goods store - no music without keyboard arrangements from now on! From there I will try to regularly add additional pieces, starting with those I took down, probably. (Remember - if you can't find something you are looking for, please CONTACT me!) Also, I redid the logo - the file is a little larger, but the resolution is better and the rough edges are gone - funny how one little thing can make a page look so much better! And finally, my CSS was a mess due to the learning process and the gradual accrual of sloppy fixes . . . so I rewrote it from scratch - now it is lighter, faster and standards compliant (well . . . mostly! ;-)

Sleep is for the weak!
