Yeah Vikki, the small links are one of the bummers with the widget. I'm making a beg list of improvements for them, which I'm sure will be immediately acted on, to send to their support desk. The right white box is for text that will 'splain what all this nonsense is about. But really short and to the point. Then I'll have to find a font that works and make a side nav of genres, which will hopefully control the player seamlessly. We'll see.I just to see what people thought about the idea of running the entire site around reverbnation. I want their tracking and I want their clicks. So this seems to make the most sense.I glad you liked the reel!Thanks,B

Vikki, I separated out all the players onto the different pages and made a mock up of the idea of the navigation. That should give you a bit more of an idea of where its heading. Enough for tonight.

Cool Bryan... just checked it out...I like the idea... it seems very easy to navigate n the pages dl real fast for me...Agree with Vikki abt the players being small... I do believe they have another slightly bigger one on the widget section...Also wanted to read a little bit abt Ur company and what it stands for... but I'm sure Ur workin on that already...Nice one...

Thanks for checking it out Derek. I wish I could control the size of the menu's in the player, but I figure that will be coming along soon enough. I'm liking the idea that I've got now. I think its gonna work pretty well for what I want this site to do. Just signed myself up again at Reverbnation as a label called Shallow Bog and added myself as one of my artists. I should have this wrapped up and ready to roll by next week.thanks everyone for all your help!B

hey Kel,I've got the biggest player on the home page, I'm going to add some text to the image that loads there which will give an overview of the company. Gonna make a nice looking nav bar this weekend. As far as the smaller players, when you separate out your tracks into playlists and create the embeded code from there, the size I have now is the biggest option. So for segregating tunes out by genre, I'm stuck with the smaller one. I don't think its a deal killer, but it is a bit small for sure.You might want to think about grabbing yourself a label account from RN, while you still have a chance to get a name you want. B

Thanks for that Info Bryan... I wouldn't have realized if U didn't mention the labels thingy...Also, I was tryna figure out why Ur playlist player looks so small... then I checked mine out and realized that it's only an illusion that Urs is small becos of Ur black background on the player itself... If the player is white throughout... it would look much bigger... take a look at mine again if Ur not sure what I'm saying...Cheers,Kel

I spent the weekend tweaking the design and playing around with some more ideas. I think I'm almost there??Again, this is going to be my business card site. I'm really trying to focus on the music, much more than myself and I think I've got that down. As you move around the site, different pieces will play, so you're hearing the wares without really having to do anything but click around.I've still got to nail down the text on the about page and the custom composing page. But since its so different now, I'd like to get some feedback on the layout and how it looks on different platforms and browsers. And if the entire approach is working or not.And this will all be moved over to the domain name of shallowbog.com by the end of the week, when is when I'm considering it live.www.bryanfusilier.com

hmm... if it's your business card site, I don't know why you'd have a mailing list/fan list on every page, esp your home page. A few typos. Keep your font size and style consistent. Looks clean.
