Dag Danny,
Jahsonic hier, ik ben met iets gelijkaardigs begonnen.
http://www.artandpopularculture.com/July_5
Groeten
Jan
fijn. er komen enkel wikipedia-dingen in? mijn informatie heb ik over de jaren quasi allemaal handmatig uit boeken, tijdschriften en kranten. ik gebruik wikipedia soms wel om aan te vullen of te verifiëren.
Nee, zo is het niet echt, ik begin vanaf mijn bestand bij Jahsonic.com en ik vul aan met Wikipedia, nu ik artandpopularculture begonnen ben merk ik dat er wel redelijk wat moord en doodslag bij betrokken is. Maar wil ook aandacht geven aan film en album release dates, alsook data van belangwekkende exposities etc...
succes
hm, moet ik misschien eens nader bekijken bij gelegenheid. de pagina's updaten dus min of meer vanzelf als je iets aanpast? ik kom natuurlijk af en toe fouten tegen, maar ben niet van plan telkens die blog-pagina's te gaan aanpassen. ik zou eigenlijk alles van filemaker in euh, 'iets' moeten krijgen....
zaterdag overigens weer art and popular culture met een vleugje moord & doodslag bij air, de marc ruyters big band speelt "sympathy for the devil".
