LoveYourSong.com Got a Facelift, a Tummy-tuck, and Open Heart Surgery!
Posted: December 29th, 2007 | Author: Andrew Branch | Filed under: Music, Web Development | 2 Comments »For those of you who may not know, I maintain a site dedicated to indie music which has been in operation for three years (pretty long considering the shelf-life of most blogs!). However, much to my chagrin, due to an errant mouse click or two, I somehow managed to delete the whole site in one singular moment of terror. At that moment I knew it was either the end of my much-neglected site, or the opportunity for a rebirth. Deciding upon the latter I have spent much of the last few days salvaging what posts I had on a database and redesigning the site. This all might turn out to be a great thing for the site, since the biggest reason for me not posting new content was the difficulty I had with my custom CMS system I had built in days of yore when I was just learning PHP. Now I’m using WordPress and life is better.
So, without further ado, I give you LoveYourSong.com 1.9 (not 2.0, that’s for you John). I can’t take all the credit for this most awesome design. iStockphoto helped a bit.
No floating head? That’s so web 1.9.
For comparison, I check out what the site used to look like:

Good job on the new digs.
