Stainless Steel in the Garden
Kill the damn music on your site. I might have looked but become
irritated when websites blare sounds out of my speakers. If you want background music put a button somewhere where I can decide whether or not I want to listen. It disturbs me that obnoxious myspace web design concepts have leached outside of the myspace domain. In article says... Hi there I have just joined this group and would like to introduce myself. My name is Jake Howard AKA The Deadlyartichoke and I make sculptures for agrdens out of recycled stainless steel. I have recently posted them on my web site and if you are interested to look and leave feedback then they can be seen @ www.llamaseven.com . cheers for now |

I agree, disable the music. This isn't a store, don't force us to listen to it, let me pick my own music from my own ipod. -S |

You know, this is what baffles me about most of the Myspace pages I've
seen. Every teenager I know personally listens to music all the time. Yet many of these kids set music to play when you open their Myspace pages -- despite the fact that all their friends are ALREADY listening to music while surfing around on Myspace. The "1995" aspect of it doesn't count with kids (who were still wearing nappies in 1995) but it ought to matter to an adult. Still I kind of feel sorry for the poor sculptor guy, who was being quite polite and not overly pushy or anything. On 2006-11-03 00:10:08 -0500, "Snooze" said: "Val" wrote in message ...

I know a couple of teens who've said "I'm going to be a web site designer - check out my MySpace page", and it's a train wreck. Actually, ALL of MySpace is a train wreck, and the worst place to practice web design skills. Even after being bought by Rupert Murdoch for $580 million, the company still can't fix some persistent technical problems. And, they still have not upgraded their original server: http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/prod...-2884585dt.jpg |

If you want background music put a button somewhere where There is a tiny QuickTime contro right down at the bottom where you can pause the music but I'm afraid anyone who can choose such a dire rendering of that music to put on their site shows a distinct lack of imagination and taste and I have no desire to go further :-( -- Richard Montmorillon, Vienne, France Remove CAPS to email |

There is a button on the bottom of the page for you to choose if you
want music or not. I like Vivaldy. Thanks for the comments that is what I am after good or bad. Mark Anderson wrote: Kill the damn music on your site.

If your visitors are in quiet environments, the music will come as a complete surprise and may be disturbing to others nearby. Imagine this: You wake up in the middle of the night because you're thirsty. You go to the kitchen for a glass of water. On a totally random basis, your faucet will cause your stereo to turn on and play Led Zeppelin music at 95 decibels, and not just in your kitchen, but from speakers all over the house, and on your roof, too. It might not happen every time, but you'll never know when. This is stupid. Get rid of the sound on your web site. Your opinion on this is wrong. Fix it. There is no debate possible on this issue. |
