http://www.RichardDawson.co.uk – Ideas for the next version?

Posted by | Posted in Links, My Blog, Software, Web Design | Posted on 06-09-2009

I’m working out what to include in the next version of www.RichardDawson.co.uk
I need a new design for it as well.

Things I can think of that I want to keep/ include/ do with the next version.

- Twitter feed
- Media Player (keep it playing, whilst navigating my site, rather than have to start again playing something)
- More easier interaction with you the readers & listeners. ie. live chat box
- Cleaner, lighter colors and a more sleek layout.
- Proper page for the downloads, rather than just the browser showing the directory from the server.

That’s all I can think of for just ten minutes brainstorming. I may come up with some other things that I want to do as time progresses.

Regarding the design, I have been looking for inspiration, and have come up with the following to show the style I like.

I would like to get some detailed icons and graphics to add that little extra somethings.

Hope you have/will enjoy it.

Some people may have noticed my website has recently been exceeding it’s bandwidth allowance.
This was due to getting more popular after I got my June mix played on Digitally Imported (www.DI.FM)
I have now re-assessed the bandwidth usage on my website, so there should be no problems from now on.

I’m looking for gigs to play.

Posted by | Posted in DJ'ing, Events, Links, My Blog | Posted on 02-08-2009

I have now been dj’ing for over a year, and think I am ready to take my skills on the road.

I have had a mix played on internet radio, and since then my site has been getting to the limits of the bandwidth.

I’m looking for gigs to help pay for this and to play around my existing job.

I am available to play in the Manchester and surrounding areas.

I mainly play trance. I can play other genres as requested. Urban styles can be played although I specialise in upfront euphoric trance. (think The Thrillseekers, Above&Beyond, Armin Van Buuren etc.)

If you are interested in what you hear of my mixes, and would like to book me for an event, then please send an email to bookings@richarddawson.co.uk or contact me on Facebook (link at top of my site)

I am testing a way of integrating Facebook with my site.

Posted by | Posted in Links, My Blog, Software, Web Design | Posted on 07-05-2009

I’m trying to get Facebook integrated with my site, so that people who have a facebook account can post on my site using their Facebook account details.

This is what I’m trying to use:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebookconnect/

It involves a bit of configuration / coding to get it working

Facebook related stuff may come and go as I try to get it working.

I will post again once I know the outcome of this.
