A peek inside the PTM machine

We do our best to keep the “behind-the-scenes” tech stuff associated with the PartTimeMusician.com site just that: behind the scenes! We’ve been doing some work here, though, and we’re planning some more. For anyone who may be interested, here is a quick rundown of what has been happening and a peek at some things that are coming up soon!

Our primary machine used for maintaining the site was limping along, and it has now been upgraded. Nothing exciting, but the new setup is certainly faster and more reliable. This should make it easier for us to post…which should make the posts more interesting. Hey, keep the writers happy and well-fed and good things are bound to happen.

We’ve also upgraded some of the site’s software. We’ll be completing the upgrades soon – and if all goes well, you won’t even notice when it happens! Cross your fingers…

Finally, we’re working on some articles that venture outside of the lines a bit. Some topics have been suggested by readers, brainstormed by our creative staff (!), or have been inspired by other sources…but we’re sure there is something in there for every one of us. If you have any ideas you would like to see addressed, please let us know! We’re open – just try us!

In the meantime, keep reading…and keep playing. You have a gift that was meant to be heard!

All the best,
Mark
