new website

Hi to all -
I have created a new website www.innersongs.co.uk
At the moment there's only one song on it - mine !
Have a listen and more importantly, if you have some original material,
with thoughtful lyrics, add it to the site - it won't hurt and it won't cost !
All the best -
Echo

Hi Lynn -
Your comment above is very interesting. My site has been live now for about three months and (though I hate to admit it) no one has logged in to it ! Could you tell me why someone like yourself would rather not log in to such a site as mine. Most of my few internet exchanges involve some sort of login so I'm slightly concerned that people wouldn't visit my site simply because it requires a login. Is there something about logging in to sites that I'm missing ?
Hope you are still out there -
 All the best - Echo 

If your starting off and want people to listen to your songs then make it as easy for them to listen to it as possible, basically spoon feed them (one click and quick play). Unless your bruce springsteen or something NO ONE will go to the hardship to log in to listen to it, and thats being brutally honest.

Your website doesnt seem finished?

Ok I will bite.

Firstly Cian is right the site does look unfinished, this is because the photos don't display properly on the homepage.  The site also looks a bit like a cafe from the seventies, the colour scheme does not invite the veiwer into the experience of the website.  Another thing is how you get to the tracks, I found getting to the first track really hard, so this puts off potential listeners as well.

The song I listened to was a little underwhelming, the vocals are a little muddy and it sounds a bit 80's to me.

Don't give in though, these things take time to get underway, sometimes.

Hey Echo!

I'd like to say well done on the initiative and well done on the website! There are potential to the site and room for improvement but I think you've done well already! It'll get there. Rome Websites weren't buildt in one day and I can promise you that Facebook and MySpace and all of the above looked worse than this when they were new! I thought that the site was ok to navigate - again, there are a lot more much worse examples out there. It wasn't hard to find your music. I just wonder what it'll be like when you have more than eight contributors?

Oh, and when I click on your profile, my browser call the page "Untitled" - should have the name of the site or preferably, your name with the sites name

re the photos: You should set in a friendly little thing where there are no photos yet, like: "Your Face Here" or "Join for Free Now" or something like that.

Good thing you don't have the log in to listen. Like everyone else say, that's only annoy people. It's a hassle on the information high way and stuff should go FAST - a log in doesn't (not kidding). That other people have to log in to post music, is a neccessity! Don't ever let people do that without loging in and agreeing, by signing up and agreeing, to only post their own material, be nice to eachother and that nothing they post was sampled from other sources. And more importantly; if they do upload restricted and/or illegal material, YOU, the site owner, take NO responsibillity for it and will remove such content and ban the user upon receiving notification that such material is uploaded.

Your music - I thought it was great! Yeah, quite the 80's sound to it but isn't that popular these days? I got a bit of Phil Collins hanging out with Sting vibe from it. And I say that as a compliment


Well done Echo and good luck!

Hi to ProjectM and Lynn -

Thanks for your encouragement.
Have a brilliant weekend -
