Myspace pages should NEVER double as your band’s website. There are too many low cost options available today for you to NOT take advantage of a fully customizable blog . Although Myspace pages are still neccesary to some degree, blog formatted website are key in keeping your fans updated with fresh content everytime they CHOOSE to visit.
I came across an excelent aleternative this week over at bandwebsitetheme.com. The theme operates off of the free, yet robust Word Press platform that allows you to have a new, fully customizable website up and running within minuetes. The built in widget ready sections, makes it easy to increase your band’s search engine optimizations and maximizes your social interation on networks like Twitter, Last FM and Flicker. The theme also comes complete with the free plug in, GigPress that allows you to create, manage and publish your bands growing number of tour dates and events. *Cough*
Theme includes this powerful and free plugin called GigPress
Artists who point their band’s url to Myspace, Band Camp, or Reverb Nation page do so for sheer ease of use, but these options leave much to be desired. In the center column is where you will get the most of this very affordable theme. The band website template has a blog design built in, that displays your most recent blog posts on your home page. The best part about it is that there is no need for coding experince or expesinve programmers. YOU can now add pictures, video’s and mp3′s of your latest studio session, live show or miscellaneous band tomfoollery.
Sample tomfoolery of your band
When I started my blog, less than a year ago, I had no idea how to use Word Press. Within days I learned the same back end solution you will now be using on your bands website.
