Date: Feb 06 1999 18:32:02 EST From: Songs of Praise Subject: Songs of Praise Hello everyone! You will notice that we shortened the name of the site to just "Songs of Praise". Gilberto is still here working with me, but we decided that so many people have contributed to this site that we need to have a simpler name. On top of that, I am securing the domain name "songsofpraise.org" so that we will also have a shorter url soon. I'll tell you when it is ready. So what has changed at "Songs of Praise"? Everything! The graphics are completely redone. I think you will like it. Many of you have sent suggestions in the last month and I have tried to implement most of them. Here are the changes... - Someone asked for graphics you can download as wallpaper. You can download our graphic in either 800x600 or 1024x768. - Another person suggested that we provide a link to each song that is being featured on various pages. That is done. - Still another person asked for an easy way to tell their friends about the site. I have added a button for "Recommend It". - No one suggested it, but I made a new animated banner. The sun (or is that Son?) is shining down on you as you enter the site. So why do you come to our web site? New songs! There are 2 new songs available... - "He's Coming Again" - An anthem about the impending return of our Lord. My friend, Rhesa Siregar, in Indonesia is busy making new Band-in-a-Box styles which will soon be available for purchase on another site. He sent me this style for evaluation and it really worked well for this song. I wrote the music and lyrics for this song. - "You're My Strength and My Song" - Larry Holder provided the lyrics for this one and I wrote the music. I think you will like it. It is a waltz and sounds like you are in a little French cafe. That's all for now. Thank you for your continued support and interest. Please feel free to contact me if you have any more suggestions or comments. God bless you all! Yours in Christ, Elton Smith cots@airmail.net
