Fanrealm

This weekend marks our 2nd birthday. Time sure flies when you’re having fun. I read over the post we did last year for our first birthday. At that time the site counter told us we had had about 62,000 hits. This year is it approaching 130,000. In the interim, though, I discovered the stats...

Over the next couple of days we will be having the entire multistory steel and glass Fanrealm corporate headquarters rewired for DSL so we may have some downtime here during the switch. It won’t affect the website in any way just my access to it. To keep you informed and entertained here are some...

First of all, we want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes especially 67 Music, Slainte Steve and Oracle. We especially want to thank Gaelic Storm for the return link. It was a great birthday present Everyone looked simply stunning in their silly hats at the virtual birthday party. Many a pint was lifted...

Don’t worry we won’t sing. We’ve posted some widgets that belong to people who can sing and they do it quite well. This has been an amazing year. We started out with a simple idea – to have a place to collect the great music we either have loved for ages or discover on...

We have added a like button to the bottom of each post, similar to the ones at Facebook. If you enjoy a post please click the thumbs up at the end. This helps tell us what people like so we can use this info to decide what we cover. We now have the ability...

The photo glitches were a bigger problem than we originally thought. The mechanism in the program that made the thumbnails proved to be incompatible with our server and crashed the site so we have switched to another theme. I really liked the old one but this is a really nice one too and we...

We are having a little problem with our images or more specifically with the cropper that makes the thumbnails so there will be broken images for thumbnails till we get it fixed. We are working on it. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you found this post by way of a search engine, please click...

June is the start of our 8th month on line and during that time we have grown a lot,  thanks to the readers, contributors and all the bands and singers who have worked with us. We have just passed 36,000 visitors and to celebrate our growth we will be changing format over the weekend....

Okay after many trials and tribulations and way more downtime than we expected, we are finally all moved and things work again. A few little ascii codes sneaked into some of the posts while they were swirling around in cyberspace but I will take them out. Once we get all those cobwebs swept aside...

Just wanted to give you all an update on the move. We are getting the site set up on the new server but still have a few picky things to add and adjust. The current plan it to move it one evening early in the week so there will be some downtime in the...

We had intended to move this site to a new server last night but had unforeseen complications. My IT Dept (aka my daughter) worked on moving the site for hours but due to a lot of technical things I have no actual understanding of at all, it didn’t work out. The nearest translation I...

We would like to take this time to welcome all our new members and new readers. We are growing fast because, as we suspected, there are a lot of Celtic, Irish and Indie Music fans out there looking for music and a lot of singers and bands wanting to provide it. We want to...

Congratulations to Spacerbunny. We have already contacted her so we know we can actually get the cd to her. The cd will be put in the mail asap. When artists send us cds to review they often send an extra for us to share with the public. Sometimes it will be one we already...

A month ago we had a drawing for a free CD. Unfortunately, we could never track down the winner via email. I suspect we are getting caught by a spam filter. To avoid this from happening to you, whitelist fanrealm.com in your email client. The way to do this varies from one to the...

We have updated our contact us link. It now leads to a contact form so you won’t need to have default pop mail client to use it. Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions of bands to cover or events to list. Or just contact us to say hello. Just click the link...
