Hi everyone,

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts recently. It’s been a busy time here at Musoswire HQ, and there’s much to report.

• The new Musoswire website is coming along nicely. We hoped to have it launched by now, but it’s not quite ready. We’ll keep you posted.
• We have a new Press Room. If you’re a member of the Press and need logos, screengrabs, etc - or you simply want to read our Press Releases, head over to www.musoswire.com/press - it’s all there!
• We’ve also launched Jive.to! - a short URL service for bands and musicians. More about this in our next post.

So as you can see we haven’t been sitting on our laurels! Look out for more great content and new site launches soon!

Are you a singer/songwriter or a member of a band?

Have you made a CD of original tunes?!

If the answer to both of the above questions is “Yes!” then you’ll be delighted to hear about our fantastic offer to bring in the New Year.

Throughout January, any artist or band can signup to sell their CD with us COMPLETELY FREE. We’ve waived the normal stocking fee of £15.

You might be wondering “why?” - well, we’ve got a fantastic new website in the works with a completely overhauled design, new features, more promotion opportunities, an improved Artist Administration system, and much more! We’ll also be launching an Affiliate programme for artists, so you can make money by spreading the Musoswire word!

We want to launch the new website with even more fantastic releases from independent artists like YOU, so why not take advantage of this offer and start selling your CD with Musoswire today?!

Find out more and signup for FREE at Musoswire.com.

Those of you paying attention will have noticed that the Musoswire blog has been going through a bit of turmoil and change the last few hours. There are a number of changes that have been implemented, which I’ve outlined below…

First up is the location of the blog. It now has it’s own subdomain of Musoswire.com (blog.musoswire.com). I’ve done this to make it easier to find, and it will also make life easier when I launch the new site in a couple of months.

I’ve also moved it to a completely new server. It’s now on a dedicating hosting account which I’m using just for blogs. It’s running a different configuration, and should be much faster.

The theme has had a bit of an update again, although not as dramatic as the last one. Incidentally, I must take this opportunity to thank Imoko Set and IDP Photography for allowing me to use the live band photo as the header image. Much appreciated guys!

Finally, I’ve tidied the categories up a bit, reburned the RSS feed, and changed the title and tag-line.

There’s still some stuff to do… I need to add an RSS subscription link, install some more plugins, and remove the non-existent feeds from the categories list.

But, slowly… it’s getting there. I’ve also got some really great content lined up, so keep your browsers peeled (or something…!)

For a while now I’ve wanted to start posting regular updates giving you a heads up on some of the great new music to hit Musoswire. Hopefully this will turn into a monthly event, but in the meantime, lets play catch-up…

The other day we updated our Affiliates page on the main Musoswire website. We also changed it’s name!

It’s now called ‘Useful Resources’ (or Resources on the menu), and the hope is that we can provide you with links to websites and companies that can help you with various aspects of your bands promotion and marketing activities.

We’ll be updating this page on a fairly regular basis, so keep checking back to see what’s new!
