New Website

So I'm working on a new Bluetree website, I've never really been able to devote much time to this site, it's always a little bit here a little bit there, but the new site is going to be proper bo.

We've a few idea's that we hope people will like: a members area where you can interact, be the first to get news, special downloads, sheet music, secret gig info, etc.

Have to say I'm not much of a fan of these blogs, but there will be something "blog like" in place of these. You may ask 'why not get a nice flash website'. And the answer is, we want as many people as possible to be able to access the site - people in schools, hospitals, work places - more often than not these days, saavy tech departments are locking out flash content. So the flash will be kept to a minimum. But anyway, if you don't know what flash is then forget about what I just said.


If you're a technobod, then the site is being written in PHP and pure CSS, with a minimal bit of decorative flash.

My question is this - what bits of the site do you hit and what are you interested in seeing that isn't here...? Comments on an email to webmaster@bluetreeonline.co.uk

Rick like's to...

Ok, here's the rules:

Go to Google and type in quotation marks your name and then "likes to" (eg. "Rick likes to"). Type in the first ten things that come up and repost in your own note. Here's mine:

Rick likes to keep Delaney Forest Products on jobs within a 150-mile radius
Rick likes to Dance on Thursdays
Rick likes to go to southern California to do shows with BIGFOOT
Rick likes to spend any spare time that he has with his young daughter
Rick likes to stay at Casa Balam
Rick likes to call his programs "scrapbook documentaries," incorporating lots of old films, home movies, postcards, old photos and memorabilia of all sorts.
Rick likes to eat out, but he noticed that drinking quickly boosts the bill. Drinks are now limited to once a month with a two-glass limit.
Rick likes to spend time with his wife and children and is an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox
Rick likes to write code, mentor, teach and consult.
Rick likes to focus his can-do attitude where it can help the most.
Rick likes to think of his work as 'that foreign guy at a party, who you don't completely get his jokes, but you laugh anyway

Ok that's eleven I know but the last one was funny so I posted it anyway
