001 - Starting Up The Engine
I reserved the domain name and loaded up a WordPress installation on my webhost so we could start creating and organizing some content over the past week. So far I've been adding songs as individual posts and adding tags, categories, audio links, lyrics, and credits. I started out with songs from my BandCamp page and have downloaded my entire BandCamp catalog and re-uploaded it to my webhost to stream directly from my site. I also added songs with links to Spotify to stream from there and see which platform I liked better.
Accomplishments so far:
Added all the individual songs from my 4 current albums on BandCamp as individual posts (about 30 songs)
Added album links from Spotify as individual posts for the albums I have on Spotify which include:
1) 59Grandmas - Time4Fun
2) Star of a Fish
3) Balance - Sugar Still
4) Sugar & Spice - Sugar Still
5) Go - Sugar Still
6) Studio Van - Sugar Still
My Giant Chicken and Front Porch Rebellion albums are only on BandCamp at this point, so I'm thinking about pushing them to Spotify just for consistency.
Sadie is inspiring me and has offered to help design the site, so eventually we're planning to add other types of content like essays, videos, reels, etc... maybe the Babes and Dudes script? I wish I had video of that show. Oh well. There are some good Sugar Still videos from that college television station, maybe those would fit. Not sure if they will or not, might just leave those on Sugar Still's YouTube.
