Wow your hair has grown. You look very gitano! Like the guitar too. I think you should do away with the laughing band leader and can-can dancers though. It doesn't tie in with the Spanish them. What's important though is that you have a website and use it to get some exposure. It appears your doing well. I'd love to go down to AZ. one day and check out one of your gigs. That is if you don't mind.
I wasn't saying that you'd have to put me up for the weekend Don't worry, I'll find a nice place to crash close by. You staying busy? I gotta get you a gig here in TX and you can stay with me. Plenty of room.
MP3: See if this makes sense. You could put this link in a table, along with other links to different MP3 files. The table will let you place the link with a good degree of success, where you want it. If you do not know how to create a table let me know.

Search Engines: If you have a PC and not a Mac (God help you) go to my web site and with your mouse right click on my home page – flamenco.html. Select “View Source” and copy the area that begins with meta http and Content = Thomas Whiteley.
Within that space put anything that relates to what you want people to know.
That will get you into the search engines. Who knows – you could be a programmer before this is over!
Any questions? I charge $150 an hour for my advice when I have a client. This advice is offered free and contains no warranties implied or otherwise!
I haven't been doing much playing lately. Still working on guitar building. Takes up a lot of my time but I do try and squeeze in some practice when time permits.
How are you and Katie? How's Brian? still playing I hope.
Tom, Tom, Flo, Simon, thanks for the information and feedback. I did some work on it this morning to get rid of the dancers. It looks like the site has more templates and I chose a new one. I have all these cool Spanish/Moorish pictures and I would love to make my own templates but for now I'll use this stuff. In a few days I'll put the rest of your advice to work. Thanks all!
Flo: My hair is long now. The pictures in the gallery, with shortish hair are 2 years ago. Now my hair is longer than shoulder-length. Apparently it makes me look somewhat gitano, amazing since I am Korean/Japanese/German/Irish. And have poor rhythm~ :)
Every one is fine. Cristina is in her last quarter at UCLA, and will be here for Thanksgiving. Lots going on. I will send you a e-mail. Brian plays every spare moment and is doing well. The lessons with Juan Serrano really helped to get Brian into flamenco.
Miguel i just saw this movie : " Brothers in Arms " Korean, i am convinced the Korean women are the most beautyfull in the world, if you know any hot ones give em my email :-)
And talk good stuff about me.
good luck with your web, consider getting a free webpage with mp3.com
do this .....try to put some background sond to your page Take a simple and small loop ,for example a simple wav or mp3 where u just strum a chord (I recommend a F# backwards like in a taranta ) and add in your main frame source this : <bgsound SRC="http://www.migueldemaria.com/strum.wav" LOOP="3"> if u place the strum.wav in the same dir as the index.html.U'll have a some background music to your site. u can set the loop atribute to "infinite" but i wouldnt recommend it ,cause it will drive me crazy.
For other question i charge 10 bucks per hour:) (observe that i'm a cheaper than Thomas , go for romanian programmers ... cheap labour :) ) Anyway , i have to disagree with the coreean chicks ...blondes rule!!! And Florian ...you traitor ,promote romanian chicks !

Sorin;
Is that why all our work is being outsourced? We have some Romanian programmers on the Universal Thread (UT) forum. They are sharp and very talented.
I work with a Russian programmer and she is from Bella Russia. She said, “Polish women are the most beautiful women in the world”! Half of my mom’s family is Polish so I will not argue!
I will say that the most beautiful woman in the world is the one you are married to. In December Katy and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
Your site is coming along great. I go for the orangey brown colour scheme too. A couple of minor observations:
You have a HTML error at the bottom of your page2 "See Miguel play", which is causing that Href link to appear.
Also On the menu bar at the side, when the user hovers over the first three links, a little cog appears but it doesn't on the other links. This could be intentional, but looks like a mistake as its inconsistent.
Like the long hair and the 'tache. I think you are starting to look kind of Mexican/South American - no bad thing in this business! Nice photo with the reflection in the water and all that - very pensive. Your black boots are bigger than mine, which I simply cannot have
