The new Indie Ave is ready to help guide indie artists to the best web resources!  Come check our our new layout and features. Here’s some of the new features:

• Automatic content management – almost all new content will be added by new blog posts – like this one. You can follow new posts via our RSS feed or on Twitter. Posts will be automatically added to the appropriate site pages – e.g., Reviews, Site Building, Tutorial, and so on.
• Upgraded link list. We’re building what we hope is a fairly comprehensive set of links to sites potentially useful to the indie artist.

We hope to become one of the best sites available as a resource for Indie Artists – promotion, web site building, fan exposure – the whole bit. If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute an article or other content, please contact us using the Contact page.

Thanks for visiting!

Indie Ave is currently in the middle of a site redesign. The site Wordpress template will change, and I will be reorganizing the existing content.

I’ve discovered some really cool capabilities of Wordpress (soon to be described in the Wordpress pages). These new discoveries will allow me to build this site incrementally and automatically fill in various pages. Essentially, Wordpress will to all the content management, and I will just make entries here in the blog. Reviews will show up on the Reviews page, hints and practical site building information will show up under the Resources page, and so on.

Everything will show up on the Home blog page, and will of course be in the RSS feed, as well as the new IndieAve twitter account. So it should be very easy to keep up.

In addition, I’m redoing the Links page to take advantage of Wordpress link management features. It will all be automatic, with a search box and links organized. There will even be a thumbnail for each link, all automatically generated by Wordpress. Now all I have to do is find the useful links.

So I hope all these new automatic features will allow me to slowly but surely add useful content to this site. It all really is just better technology. I hope to describe the Wordpress plugins that allow this to happen in the Wordpress category, because they can be useful to almost any WP site.
