Something that’s bothered me for long time is that when people go to my website for the first time, they typically go, “huh?”.
I don’t think I make it clear enough that I am primarily a musician, and what the main purpose of this site is for is to have a central repository of all of my music that people can download for free.
Having the “blog” on the root (or as the home page) of daveryder.com is cool in a way, because whenever people come here they see the latest blog entry (something new). But if it’s the FIRST time a person comes here, I get the feeling some people see something like Dog Pees For A LOOOOOONG Time and say “fuck this. I’m outta here.” and click away never knowing there is a ton of great free music just waiting to be downloaded.
So I changed the website: Now the Home Page is a static front page telling people what I’m all about and where to download the MUSIC, and the blog posts (including this one) are in a directory imaginatively named Blog. Everything else is the same (by which I mean lame heh) but my friends like it, so I guess I’ll keep it like this.
