First Post: A Brief Introduction


As a rookie in the blogosphere, it is a personal goal to earn a presence in the online community discussing issues related to music. The art of music is one that is constantly evolving and as a fellow musician, it is difficult even for me at times to discern where exactly the industry will venture next. This blog will focus on several facets of the art, gathering viewpoints from blogs such as Pop & Hiss and Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise to periodicals such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times to name a few. In the process to find credible and well-rounded material, I am guided by the Webby and IMSA criteria as well as search engines such as Google in my research. The chosen guidelines exemplify an effort to choose sites that are not only intelligent, but also maneuverable, accessible, and incorporate opinions with thoughtful structure. The Webby criteria addresses content, structure, navigation, virtual design, functionality, interactivity, and overall experience. Although every component may not be met in every website I lead you to, it is important to note that the overall experience essentially serves as the driving force in regards to content. The IMSA concentrates on blogs based on depth, usefulness, and bias, alongside other criteria. I encourage users to offer constructive feedback and opinions to my postings, as I am very much new to this atmosphere and open to all points of view. I appreciate your time and look forward to creating a unique blog in the online community.
