Madonna:
Single Summaries Update
01 JUNE 2002Madonna: Single Summaries has been
dormant since the end of 2001, but changes are taking
place behind the scenes. Here are some important updates
about upcoming changes.
MSS 4.0 Launching
This Fall
A complete rehaul of the site is in progress, with a new,
cleaner design, more in-depth coverage of each single, as
well as new album pages, features and a greater wealth of
information. A preview example of the new page design can
be seen to the left. Overall the site will be much more
attractive and more user-friendly. The new site will be
up and running before the release of Madonna's single
"Can't You See My Mind" from the upcoming James
Bond film "Die Another Day."
New Email Address
Although all the links on this website still indicate the
old email address, Madonna: Single Summaries now has a
new email address. Please direct all future queries and
comments to gotomadonna@hotmail.com. Emails sent to the old address
will likely be lost as it now has a stringent junk mail
filter. This new address will be devoted solely to the
site and hopefully will result in faster response time!
Now Accepting
Questions for a New F.A.Q.
It only makes sense that a site specializing in
information would have a section where visitors can ask
questions they do not see answered elsewhere. The
relaunch of Madonna: Single Summaries will include a new
F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) page. Email any
questions you have or you think may be of interest to
others to this email address: gotomadonna@hotmail.com.
Other Features?
I have been trying to think of ways to improve Madonna:
Single Summaries not only in design but also in content.
Your opinions have always been important to the site, as
evidenced by the numerous fan-voted lists, countdowns,
and special presentations. I am curious to know if you
have any other ideas or suggestions for the site. Some
ideas I am considering iclude:
- Chart Predictor - A weekly game where visitors
can guess how Madonna will perform on the charts and see
how they stack up against my own predictions.
- Newsletter - Receive updates before they're on
the web.
- Forum - I attempted to launch a forum before
the release of "Music" in 2000, however it
attracted few visitors and was soon closed. Is this
something you would be interested in or are there already
more than enough Madonna forums online?
Please vote in the poll to the left on what you would
actually use (for example, please don't check
"forum" if you don't think you would actually
post frequently), and also email me at gotomadonna@hotmail.com with your thoughts on these ideas
and any other suggestions for new features or
improvements to old ones. Remember that this also depends
on the amount of time I have, so if you would be
interested in helping out with any of these features
please let me know.
Problems With the
Current Site
I am aware that there are a handful of errors on the
current site, and most notably, none of the ranking polls
are working. This is becuase the company that provided
the free iReviewIt service discontinued most of their
services and deleted all their accounts. I have been
unable to find a similar service online. The dead links
will remain until the site relaunches, and the ranking
service will be discontinued altogether. Hopefully all
other problems will be fixed with the MSS 4.0 relaunch.
Thank You!
Thanks to all the visitors who have made this site such a
rewarding experience! July 6, 2002 will mark three
years online and roughly 150,000 visitors. That's
all for now, see you at the relaunch!
