“Lost on Block Island” Now Podsafe

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Some great waves came to Block Island during the hurricane season.That’s right, the first song available through Matthew Ebel dot net is now available for podcasters across the world. The song that launched this revolutionary new service can be found at the Podsafe Music Network for immediate release.

Typically I ask people to link back here to this site when they podcast one of my tunes, but this time I’d love to have people link to Matthew Ebel dot net. After all, if any podcasters want to sign up for free as an affiliate, they can use their affiliate links to earn some cash in the process! If you’re not signed up yet, you can do so Right Here!


Announcing the New Matthew Ebel dot net

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Did you know that one of the 6 things people often say they can’t live without is music?
Beginning October 2008, MatthewEbel.net will be providing a new kind of subscription to music fans. Hear tunes you’ve never heard before, concerts that have never seen anyone’s iPod, and get exclusives to upcoming albums.

What if your favorite artists sent you new music as soon as it was recorded?
I’ve already produced new songs for the October 1st release and I’m still writing. With three subscription levels, there are so many choices, including live concerts, a VIP store, members only albums and even a bi-annual drawing for a custom song!

Check it out at matthewebel.net/subscribe


Photo Gallery? What Photo Gallery?

Friday, June 20th, 2008

The thrill of using WordPress Plugins has hit me again. My gallery plugin apparently will display photos within the posts, but the gallery page itself is toast. I’m aware of this and I’m working on a new solution.

If you’ve got any free suggestions (not Photopress), let me know. Thanks!
Update: I’m just moving the photos into the built-in Wordpress gallery now. Give me a few days and it’ll be good as new!

Okay, all done now. New gallery in place, repopulation under way.


New Website Features

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I just made the leap to the latest version of Wordpress, and with it came a couple of added bonuses. One of them you won’t really care about (built-in tagging), but here’s one really cool new feature-

You can now use Gravatars to add your own icon next to your comments on my blog. Some of you have already done this and you should already see your Gravatars attached to every comment you’ve left so far. If you haven’t signed up for a Gravatar yet, check it out- it’s free and it helps to put a face to the names!

Just hit http://en.gravatar.com/ and set it up. I have!

Update: Yes I know the Event Calendar is kinda broken right now… I’m working on it, but I’m also thinking of another calendar plugin to replace this one. Thanks!

iJustine Loves Me

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Everyone’s favorite lifeblogger iJustine loves me… at least enough to drop one of my tunes into her latest video. And she loves me enough to ask for permission first (like I’m going to tell her no?). Hence, I love iJustine too. :)

And, of course, everyone loves ice cream (everyone at Pixar, anyway).

If you like the song, by the way, you can buy it (and the rest of the album) right here!
