At a minimum create a "Splash Page" home page

Even if you don't want to create a whole web site at this time you really need to. You need your own web page address and a little bit of content so you can start getting linked to and located in the search engines.

The Splash Page is just an introductory page to what will be your site but contains links to everywhere you might be on the net. It should have:

  • Name and Title information at the top of the page.
  • A photo or two
  • Links to pages where you have content on-line. This could be myspace, garageband, a page at amazon to buy whatever it is you're promoting
  • any web sites or newspapers that have mentioned you
  • A calendar of upcoming events
  • A link to join a e-mail mailing list
  • A link to download samples of your work.
  • Contact information
  • Your web site address. This seems silly since they are at your page but once they print off a page you want to make sure your address is on every printout.
