Help with the site
I need more time or help
Finding time to improve the site is proving difficult. I'm sure in the old days I used to be able to get much more done in a day but these days I just end up with lists of ideas and jobs to do that seem to take forever to get through. For every job I do I add 2 more to the list.
I left a message in a forum this week asking for help with the site. I've been fortunate enough to have had some interest, so hopefully that will be a big step forward in building and improving the site further. It's not easy trying to cover over 30 years of the greatest ever living entertainer in just a few hours a week.
Traffic and bandwidth issues
This week the guy who hosts my site was ringing me letting me know the site was using alot of bandwidth. He thought it was the recent YouTube streaming videos I added. This seemed strange to me and I researched and posted on some message boards and everyone said that the embedded YouTubes would not use my bandwidth.
I did a little checking and found that some other sites had copied whole pages of my site and were hotlinking the images. God knows how many other images have been hotlinked over the years. Some of them were big gif image files that I used to highlight Michael in movement, for example doing a specific dance move. I can now replace these with actual YouTube videos. Although even that can present problems because some YouTube videos get removed for copyright reasons.
Michaels Latest Comeback News
Well the Michael Jackson comeback seems to be definetly in the planning stages if a recent news article I recieved today is anything to go by, this motivates me even more to get the site the best in can be in time for any future Michael projects.
I just hope he doesn't get a long term gig in Las Vegas and end up a reclusive in some hotel. Look what it did for Elvis. Albeit Las vegas is a great place, I've had the fortune to visit there myself and I loved it on the Strip.
