Changes At RecordingReview.com

I’m doing some house cleaning here at RecordingReview.com. The site has looked terrible for a long time, but I just haven’t had the time to spend improving it. I’m not exactly gifted in the graphic design universe, and I want to hold off on paying a pro graphic designer until my vision for this RecordingReview.com is fully realized.

Until then, I’ll have to take it a step at a time.

I’ve decided that I want to simply the look of the site. I feel there is quite a bit of info here (there had better be after all the eons I’ve spent writing these stupid articles! Ha ha! However, it’s tough to find the good info. You have to sift through tons of garbage, bad site design, and poorly placed ads to find anything. Well, that’s about to change, hopefully!

Here Are A Few Of The Changes I’m Making:

Ditching The Glossary
Throwing Away The Directory
Adding an Easier To Read Layout
Adding A Better Reviews System

I will be adding a glossary section to my first book.

Hey Brandon,

I agree with Andy: Best danged site on the planet! Since I discovered it only 2 days ago, I’ve been turning everybody and their dog onto it. (Dogs hear better.)

Rather than ditching the glossary, I wish it could be centrally located on the site (in everyone’s face, possibly with a linked tab) rather than in hard copy form (which would be easy to misplace and hard to keep revised with the ever-changing digital world). I know you said something about it not working out for some reason, hence the desire to nuke it. But if it were kept, linking to common terms in our posts would be totally awesome. Like when I wrote a post just recently and said something in passing about an SM57, I was totally blown away to see it automatically linked to a photo of an SM57, along with yours and others’ description/rating of it. How cool is that! Reminded me of a local Wikipedia.

You may be right, but it’s too late to change my decision now.
