So we finally opened our doors late last night to our brand new website for Michigan musicians/bands & fans of local music. I have decided to use xoops to power MM this time as it is my favorite open source cms out there. It has given me the possibility to add some new modules to the site that we have lacked in the past such as an image gallery were our members can upload photos, an inline forum to replace our former remotely hosted proboards forum, a callsifieds module, a module for members to submit and watch YouTube videos of local bands, blogs, reviews, an events module for submitting shows, an online store for artists/bands to sell their music on our site, and best of all a module that allows artists/bands to create a band page.

I will be adding more featues to the site soon as well as a link to my next upcoming web project "MichiganMusicRadio.com" that will feature pre recorded radio shows containing music from Michigan artists/bands. You will be able to listen to the radio show by streaming it in our media player. You will not be able to download the music files however for copyright reasons.

Well that's all for now ... hope to see some of you there soon!
