I don't know which category this should be in, but, if it's wrong some clone is free to switch it.

I finally broke down and got a web site. Anyone who wants to visit it, go to yahoo search and type in Kendall Morse, then click on the first thing that comes up.

not a good idea to publish your e-mail address unless you know the tricks. - Have you used a cloaking method? If not the spammers will have found it anyway.

I use a jpg, JavaScript and hash codes. (PM me for the details of the latter).

Unless you change your e-mail address (I do after each spam attack) you just have to deal with the crud as best you can. Spam filters can get it wrong. I made the mistake of using cresby@cresby.com which is a bit obvious. all the others (info, postmaster, sales, etc) goto the spam bin at the ISP/Domain server.

If you are looking for hits and gigs from that - it might be worth including links to other related websites. The more you have the higher-up the search engine rating you go. I looked at the HTML and couldn't see the KeyWord or Description meta tag - put plenty of key words in there for the search engines.

It is a nice clean layout, but those links on the same page would help you. Put them in smaller type and dim colour if they offend the look and feel.

Best of luck.

Very attractive site, love how the photo at the top blends into the image.
You might want to add links to the sites where your cds and book are available, just to make it a bit easier for people to find them.
And perhaps a photograph of yourself, I think that would make you a bit more "real" to the people visiting the site.

You can have your email put up as an image, so spammers can't harvest it automatically.

AlL good suggestions.If this works out I will expand it to include those features. The more you add to these things, the more they cost.
I have a very aggressive spam filter and firewall.
Right now, the price of this one is $12.00 per year.

Nice picture.

What are you trying to accomplish by having a website? Do you want to sell CDs/books? Do you want other artists to perform or record your songs? Do you want to have a "calling card" you can add to the end of your emails? Do you want to meet people with similar interests? It'll be easier to review or make suggestions if we know what your purpose is.

Take care, Marion

and the old adage holds true, the more complicated things get there's more that can go wrong, and of course the costs rise as well.

$12.00 per year? Where did you find that deal - it's a bargain!

A very well put together site, Kendall, easy to read, and easy to navigate...top marks all round.

I simply took a chance on an offer from Yahoo.
My reason is just that I want to stay connected to the music world to sell CDs and DVDs, but I don't want to jump in with all 4 feet, go to great expense, then decide I don't really want to do it.
That's why I included the e mail address.

The link that was posted by IanC will take you directly to the site, but if you just go to yahoo search,enter my name, a bunch of information will come up so you can decide if you want to go further.

Very nice Kendall. Did jacqui choose the graphics to match your eyes? But I would change the info on performing, maybe to say that voice problems limit you to story telling.

I agree with Sinsull. Also, Marion has good questions. Links to your books and CDs would be good. I love the uncluttered, clean look of it all. Well-done, Kendalldarlin'.

As someone who has been studying video production
and who has some material of mine being shown on
public t.v. (Public Access t.v.) I am interested
in your t.v. experience. Are there recordings
available? Possibly they would be in VHS format?

Are these shows ever re-broadcast? were they weekly?
Was it on a local affiliate of PBS, or other channel?

inquiring minds....
