I can't tell ...You are so absolutely right on this. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trolling around to find info on the artists I like (mostly more, um, mature acts, Lowe among them) who have such spotty web promotion. As a blogger, I depend on being able to find this info on line. Sometimes you can find a shell of what started out as a website, but never was completed, let alone updated -- like the rusting hulk of a car abandoned by the side of the road, really sad. <BR/><BR/>I personally believe that this should be artist management's job, to hire somebody to be a webmaster. It's just a necessary cost of doing business these days. <BR/><BR/>I'd add that any artist who really wants a fan base should be sure to have a proper fan forum attached -- an active fan community will basically sell out your shows and do enthusiastic grass-roots album promotion for free. It's a no-brainer.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.com
