I think just a Bio or About Jason type button would allow people to know with one click that they are at the right place and to find out more about Jason -- all without losing the poignancy of the waiting chair

Casting another vote for a Bio section/tab. I don't think it needs to be terribly detailed. It should focus on Jason's musical career, and be updated when he releases new music or signs with a label or something.
I also think there should eventually be a Music section/tab. This is the place for extended liner notes for his CDs, concert dates/venues/ticket info, etc. There can be links to purchase music, too.
ETA - deleted random stuff that made no sense

I agree with the Bio section, just not a long one. I know when the bio's are long I don't read them, just skip over it.
I also like the idea of Jason writing the bio, I love the one of his on his myspace. When I start reading someones Bio and can tell it was written by someone to sound all professional, I skip them. I don't know why, just do.
thats my 2cents.
eta: not saying Jason does not sound professional, or that I don't think he should sound professional...I just mean you get a different feeling from them.

You're welcome, Mariana.
We've heard the request for the bio section and will pass it along. Thanks for all the feedback!

Definitely needs a bio of Jason and a picture. This site is brand new and has so much information on it, it's gonna take quite a while to make it perfect. Just glad it's up. I'm having a lot of fun here! Just wish I could find my way around quicker. It's gonna take me some time too!~ How about a video section of Jason? I have a very nice video slideshow with the over the rainbow song with very nice photos of Jason. You can check it out on youtube- tvpeachie and let me know if you like it. Borntorun has seen it and it has her some of her pictures in it.

I've just realised that the ability to sign up to a mailing list/for news, seems to have been removed from the front page - or at least I can't see one anymore? - Please ignore me/the following if it's still there:
I realise that there is now (or will be when it goes live) a fanclub to sign up to within the store; & also this forum too. However, I see those as separate things catering for different types of fans. There are people who, whilst interested in receiving email news about an artist, their music releases, tour information etc... have no interest in joining fanclubs, or participating in forums. So, it's generally usual for both the artist and those people, to have a continually available separate mailing list & sign up option for that purpose, that's easily accessible to sign up to from the front page.
This has also made me realise, that I can't find a general contact link for the website either.
On another note, I'm really looking forward to a Music section like Sheribaby's mentioned, in the future too! - <insert - Jason performing his music smilie> is there one of those? ;D

moonlight - contact me with anything regarding the front page for now. lizlemon@castrocopia.com. I'll make sure we get a webmaster or admin email up on the front page.
Also the mailing list will be distinct from the fanclub. Those links should be up very soon.

Borntorun has seen it and it has her some of her pictures in it. We have a video section in Jason Media. Go out to the main index (click the home button) and search though the Just Jason category for the media (it's the fourth one down.) Click in there and there's a video section.

Thanks for the "front" button. I'd like a bio tab too, but not a bio on the front page. I like the simplicity of it. I don't mind not having his picture on the front. It's fun to go looking for one. I've heard people using Safari don't have the fan club button on the front page.

That's cool then. Both those sign up links are up and working for me in IE, thanks Lemon, you're the Bomb! #thyourock# ;D The welcome message brought out a squee lol! I'm in love with that waiting chair picture & gazing at that pad & pencil with excited anticipation

Not sure how difficult this would be, but I frequently use my iPhone for surfing the Web and nothing on the Home page displys for me. I just get a brown page with the blue question mark because the iPhone isn't compatible with Flash. I can visit the other pages with a direct URL though, so I would like to suggest a prevalent link on the Home page for those who don't have Flash that would take the user to some kind of index page from which to acesss the news, media, store , cafe, etc. pages.

I am sure I am the only one who liked the uncluttered look. I prefer all buttons, unobtrusive ones so as not to detract on the beauty of the front page.
My daydream: I am picturing the empty chair and a mirage of Jason coming in and out of the screen on the chair. then after the TOUR ends, then he can be added as permanent fixture.
I think I just like to have a cover that is not overwhelming.
This is just my opinion #whoop# #whoop##whoop#

Thanks Liz for getting the front page button up there, I too had been trying to figure out how to get back there, I found the button before the thread, but was happy to see it and now I know who to thank. I also like the idea of have a bio and pic of Jason on the front page, I lurked in many sites before I had the courage to go in and post, so yeah, there could be alot of people at first that just look at the front page at first and that would help. Have a great day everyone, Sher Oh, and I almost forgot, I love Erinavery's suggestion, I find myself spending so much time trying to remember where I posted and find my way back in case someone has replied. My worst fear is that I will miss one and not reply to someone who had made a comment to me. If there is a space where we can see our last posts that would be great. Do we ask to much or what? lol

You can see your last posts in your Profile. If you want to see them all, you could do a Search on your username. I don't know if it's possible to put a link up to do the same thing.

Just hopping in since I broke Liz's Boards today. You could also just bookmark your posts each day then when you check them clean out your bookmarks and start again. ETA: Mine is easier to do I just do a search on "oh god not him again" .....grin
