7/1/06:
Vigoriously updating/changing the whole look and structure of the entire website. Keep coming back for more....;) Basically I am getting rid of the Frames-style/method that I have been using for so long and moving into fast loading simple html code. Plus I am going to streamline the photos.
6/17/06:
Small updates to the website. Re-did the CDbaby link as well as the Yahoo Email link. Both were not working well and not designed well. Also updated concert listing. Basic monitoring of site as needed for the past 4 months.
2/21/06:
It's been awhile but some minor updates have taken place since last time
I logged them. However I just uploaded a few new MP3s just for the email
list. Those will be trimmed down for the webpage. The Email list gets
the full cut. Also we released the Beautiful Child Video on the website.
2/22/6 is the 3rd anniversary of the release of Salvation Road.
5/1/5:
A few updates for the past month:
Took off videos due to server space. added a lot of photos, Strangers,
Bart @ Lola's and Kerosene Dream @ Lola's on 4/30/05. Deleted files on
server that were nto needed, plus changing the messageboard reader board
that flashes with news. Added Shakers Ball info a graphics. Changed front
page pic as well as the Gig section. Re-laid out the gallery section.
4/11/05:
updated the front page the other day and the blog section tonight. Bart's
blogs are moving there and I suspect this section as well.
3/26/05:
Setup and launched Messageboard....;)
3/20/05:
Hi there: I got Bart to write up a bio and Blog. Check it out!
3/17/5:
Hi there: I have been updating sections of the website and sending out
emails but not this page. If you see news or links or anything on here
that is wrong or I need to put up here. Email
Me I generally update this page at night and after kids are asleep
(or when I am supposed to be working). I work on this website because
I know how cool Bart and the bands he has been in are! I also do this
because I can get access to Bart to get him to get me stuff from the past
to put up. Which means, if you have photos or things that you want up
here (and not offensive) I will put them up! Just email them to me.
2/11/05:
Hi there: Working on updating the concert schedule and also sending out
an email to the email list. Get on the list since Bart is going to have
two contests a week before the first and second show. Details being formulated
as we speak. Also, we are working on getting his CDs up on cdbaby.com
and iTunes. Still working on photos from below.
Contest will be run via the email list. Meaning if you want a chance to
win cool stuff you need to be on the list to enter.
1/20/05:
Cleaned up the menu section of the front page. Too cluttered. Also lengthed
the menu list. Had meeting with Bart today and I got some cool photos,
plus a signed Strangers, Renegade Saints, Rhtym Jones concert poster for
a La Luna New Years Eve Show......La Luna.....mmmmm remember that place?
Cool place.....;)
1/18/05:
Uploading more videos. Check the video page for the links.
Also meeting Bart for lunch in the next day or two so he can get me some
photos of when "The Strangers" played the state pen.
The one thing that I will say about meeting Bart for lunch or going out
with him and the band after a gig, he always knows a place that I have
never even heard of....and they are very cool!
1/14/05:
Finally found an FTP program that would let me upload two videos that
are 50meg each of Bart. One I took at the Dublin and another (someone
who I forget his name) who created a very very professional video of Bart
in the studio, rehearsal & on stage. The videos can be found on the
gallery section at the bottom.
1/12/05:
Updated the front page (it will be coming back soon. Need new photos which
are coming from bart) and updated the concert page!

9/18/4:
Created better system for email list (SIGN UP). Got info to add about
MP3s, Videos and Band gigs and other cool info. Adding all that in the
coming days. Still working on contact area and message board (its all
technically really, it's ready to go just waiting for a few things on
the back end to happen to make it live). Will be adding some Stranger
MP3s. (being the webmaster has it perks!!)
Also, I am going to be putting up a section of photos that are submitted
by you the fans that have you and Bart in them. Please keep them clean.
Bart and I will have final say as to if it gets posted. So if you have
pictures when he was in the Strangers, Kerosene Dream, Bart Ferguson Band
or anything (even grade school, high school, college) Send them in...(I
will get you an email address shortly.)
