Hey Doc,

You might want to create a signature tag line with the site's URL for 
posting to this list.  A lot of the time people will click on the hyperlink 
in your first post with the URL, check out the site, but then delete the 
message, and thus loose the URL

Also, from my experiences at creating and maintaining a site that centered 
on specific musical form, and maybe you know this, I found that you really 
have to do it for the love of it more than anything else.  Many people will 
appreciate the work, but you'll find that you'll get relatively little 
feedback on it all.  Don't expect people to be bowled over with any site 
until it actually provides content and services that are indispensable.

If you list your site on all of the major web engines, and post the URL to 
everywhere you find an appropriate spot on the net, eventually you�ll build 
up your own audience.  You�ve got to have a passion for the work though, and 
just enjoy the work for doing it, and for the info it gets out to people.  
The rewards for the thousands of people that start up websites are few, at 
least until the ball starts to roll.

I maintained my site for 2.5 years intensively, but came to the conclusion 
that the subject matter was just too obscure, and my work too incomplete, 
and the effort to keep up just didn�t make all the effort worth it.  I 
maintain the files for the occasional person who stumbles on something of 
worth to them via a web search.  An occasionally someone posts a nice note 
from the site.

Again, I think a few good pages on various OS installation procedures for 
Librettos, and written up procedures for installing a >8GB HDD could be 
really useful to people.  Though I haven�t checked David�s adorable website 
recently to see if he�s covered these yet.  It may be a good idea just to 
start asking people on this list what they�re like to see on a new Libretto 
website.

Good luck!

Matt
