I changed a setting on the website feed parameters yesterday during the static front page change, so everybody’s RSS feed got truncated – sorry about that. I changed it back to normal . (BTW I haven’t actually done the front page, it’s currently just a blank placeholder so don’t waste your time going to check it out.)

The whole point of a feed is so you don’t have to go to the website just to see what’s new, duh.

My bad, it’s fixed now.

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.

Why? Why not? It’s funny.
