Day two: Progress

I’m pretty proud of myself for coming this far in just a day! In my very first post I listed my plans for this site:

- Upload kunkunshi .pdf’s
- Upload sanshin music
- Write instructionals (Kinda…)
- Create FAQ (I get tons of sanshin questions. I’ll try to answer them all.)
- Find more to do

Progress so far:

I created the FAQ and Links part of this site using a tagging system, so these two sections will be sorted by the date they were added. The more questions and links I get, the fatter these two sections will become, so the best way to find something you’re looking for is using the “search” feature at the top of the sidebar. I’ll probably organize them better once I get the chance, but for now this will have to do.

As for tutorials, I’ll continue to post them under FAQs until I have a decent amount to create a separate section for. I’ve already written an “introduction” to the sanshin that briefly goes over the history, and once I post more instructionals, I’ll collect them into one area for easier navigation.


Problems:

Without proper web hosting, I’m forced to use several different sites for MP3, PDF and simple page storage. This wouldn’t be so bad if the free web hosts were stable, but they’re not. Which means that the radio can be tad glitchy at times, and the kunkunshi PDFs may be unavailable for download depending on the server’s mood. But they’re all free services, so I guess I can’t complain.
