Ever since I moved to this sexxy new blogging app, I’ve been wondering what to do about the song of the week. Well, I finally decided that a new blog was the right way to solve things. So go check out to the new Nick’s Song of the Week blog.
Stephen has brought up an interesting point. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for awhile, but I haven’t gotten around to doing it.
What if the Song of the Week was part of the blog, so people could post comments about each song?
There are two drawbacks as I see it. One, it is currently impossible to see a list of blog posts in a certain category. “Song of the Week,” for instance. I would like to set this up, but I haven’t yet. The other problem is that it would likely be difficult to make a list as compact as the SOW table is. You can see 2.5 years of picks on one page, all at once. There are lots of people who search for something unrelated to the current SOW on Google, but stumble across the page and download the current stuff anyway. I’d like to encourage that.
Hmmm. Thinking about it now, it would be totally feasible to tack that list onto the end of the generated page, and to keep the generated content compact... I think I’ll probably be able to leverage MT to handle this feat. This would keep everything on the same page, and even (most likely) in the same place, so Google will remain happy.
Thanks for the inspiration, Stephen! I’ll see what I can do.
