Whoaaahh!! And where have I been?! Well...no answer but at least the news has been dull. Pickin up is easy though. just to let you know, we are working on some feature articles here. We'll post those as soon as they're ready. Secondly, we are going to link new CD releases data for you. Be patient. We are evolving...and our ranking gets even better all the time. We have been visited by the Googlebot and the Alexa spider. Although we have not yet been listed by Google (Sure that it is but a matter of time) we are moving up in the ranks by the Alexa spider. Good for us. On to the news.
