Site Updates
Projects Done
Discography Updated to include 2006 Re-IssuesThis was a big project – and we can finally bring you the finished product. On each of the original album pages (that involve a re-issue) you will find a link to the 2006 Re-Issue page. On the pages you will find the new track list; new liner notes; a complete scan of the awesome booklets and lyric transcriptions for the new songs (Thank You Sarah!).. well, what are you waiting for, go take a look for yourself! http://www.steveperryfans.com/songs/discography.html
The “B” Sides and Rarities PageCompletely overhauled and the lyrics to these songs have been added thanks to Sarah! http://www.steveperryfans.com/songs/bsides.html
TimelineOur Timeline has been updated through December of 2006 http://www.steveperryfans.com/media/history.html
Background on site pagesWe felt the grey background was not to our liking so we’ve replaced it with a white background with a watermark of the FTLOSM Steve. See, you didn’t even notice!
New Humanitarian ProjectWe recently rolled this out and will be bringing you donation drives so we can get this jump-started!
Projects Under Construction
ChatYes, we know. It’s been down almost a year and you all have been very patient! There have been many challenges in this project like finding one that works with our site and one that has everything we want and doesn’t cost and arm and leg – however the search is over (isn’t that a song?) and we have found a chat we feel will be perfect. We are getting it uploaded and checked now, so hopefully, fingers crossed, we should have Chat back up and running in about a month. This is a tentative date! There will be changes with the new room, and we’ll let you know about them when we’re ready to launch.
Scrapbook PagesThought we forgot, didn’t you? This project has been difficult from the beginning. Starting with us having to put it on the back-burner when Jan's and my personal stuff took front and center right when it was supposed to be launched. We have re-visited the project, and frankly are having trouble with it. The items sent in were wonderful – and we thank everyone – but it’s the presentation that is causing the delay. We are back to square one on this and we will be working on it and will hopefully come up with a brainstorm soon.
Tour BooksAnother long-awaited project is coming to light. Last year when Jan was here we scanned her Raised On Radio and Frontiers Tourbooks – we are formatting them as we type and we will roll one out in the next few weeks with the other coming out later in the year. (We can’t let you get too spoiled!)
CalendarsThe Calendars for the second half of 2007 are being worked on now and should be available in the next month or two.
New MenuWe are aware that when you are on the main site, the menu bars drop down in an annoying way. All you have to do is hover your mouse over the “home” bar at the top and they will retract, but this has been a challenge from day one. The reason it does this is because of all our interactive items on the site (Timeline; Tour Maps, etc) react with this menu and we didn’t know it until we launched it. Every time I mention this to Jan I suddenly get dead fished mailed to my house and find out my cell phone has been written on a lot of bathroom walls. Just kidding – well only partially. Changing the menu is a huge, huge deal and we have yet to find one that will work with our interactive items. So, the search continues and hopefully one day we’ll find one, install it and be happy. And I can quit getting calls in the middle of the night.
Escape CommercialWhile Jan was here last year we worked on the Tour Books and she copied the Escape commercial. So, we will be uploading it for your viewing pleasure in the next few weeks.
Tour PagesWith the release of the re-issues and the booklets containing the tour schedules we thought it would be a good idea to crosscheck our tour schedule to the booklet ones. Well, it sounded like a good idea on paper. There are many inconsistencies – so we are currently changing our Tour pages to reflect the correct dates and places. This is a major project and we’ll let you know when it’s finished.
