"Year In Review (2024)" Article Now Posted

Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, January 4, 2025 - 02:36 PM

Good Saturday afternoon, everyone; although I'm currently in the "weekend mode" routine at this time, I've snagged the opportunity to get our annual "Year In Review" article written up and posted in regards to looking back at the music arrangement cover activity that has occured during the previous 2024 year. And here's a hint: there's at least one featured Mario series' game installment to literally thank for triggering the bulk of that activity itself.

You can find out what game in question it was along with the other "usual 2024 review statistics" involving featured Mario game series installments and featured Super Nintedno music instrument set involvement by going here.

January 2025 Greetings: Making Preparations for the Challenges Ahead

Posted by Merit Celaire on Friday, January 3, 2025 - 04:17 PM

Good afternoon, friends; yours truly has finally snagged the chance at this time to write and post this formal "monthly greetings entry" for these music operations as a whole to officially start off this month and the 2025 year itself. I am still looking forward to what challenges this year will bring for these endeavors; however, although I'm still trying to get myself resituated at this time after we've finished the "New Year's holiday period", there are a few things from the backend that I need to let you know about so it doesn't look like I'm still "dormant" from the backend (and believe me, it's definitely for real). And the situations so far are these:

(1) Getting Funding Together To Pay The "Site Hosting Bill" Before The End Of This Month
As what was discussed in the "anniversary statement document" last year, because of certain situations prior to our having being forced to go this route, the respective hosting account with AwardSpace is in the "paid hosting" status; we've just gotten a reminder notice from them the other day that we need to prepare to make a renewal payment with them before the end of this month. At this time, this is a high priority situation to ensure that we've got the funding together to get this taken care of as soon as possible so we can get through another hosting year with AwardSpace services without any further problems. I'll keep you all posted on any further developments as well as when this has been accounted for.

(2) Site Materials Backup Procedures Scheduled for Later This Month
Along with having to ensure that our hosting account gets successfully renewed for another year with AwardSpace, we have to also ensure that we've got our entire site materials themselves backed up as well in case of "unfortunate situations" down the road, heaven forbid. It's my hope that we can also get this taken care of before the end of this month before having to prepare to switch gears for our "anniversary month" in February.

(3) Planning Procedures for Upcoming Music Arrangement Content in February
Which brings me to discussing about this briefly because after the above two angles have been said and done, I need to recheck our "Music Arrangements Progress Page" to see what are our next steps to bring our backlog number down even further. Hopefully I'll have a much clearer mind by then so I can plan accordingly for when we arrive at the "anniversary month" itself next month; more details to come at another time.

(4) Reviewing Our "Interactive Community Portals" (Including the "Forum Portal" As Well)
That's right, I still have not forgotten about our music operation's "interactive community portals"; it's just that so many "real life situations" from last year have literally had me put my management of our existing ones on the backburner including trying to figure out how to get certain ones back in action again to get new "followers"/"members" on board who are interested in what these operations have to offer and share (of course, and who especially match the criteria that we ask about on this "About Us" page). Hopefully as the weeks progress, I can do separate announcement postings regarding when will certain "community portals" get back in action again to accept new signups including our main "forum portal" and our "Discord Portal" (which as you also remember, my "account crisis" with Discord itself was the ultimate culprit in regards to why my music operations management efforts have been severely hampered for quite a while; I even mentioned it briefly in our anniversary statement document last year). So stay tuned regarding any further developments on this matter as well.

That's all I have to share for now in this formal "monthly greetings statement" for this first month of 2025; let me just say how grateful I am for you all to still be sticking with yours truly as we get through another new year together for these music operations as a whole. I don't take these God given musical talents for granted and I'm hoping that more Super Nintendo music styled arrangement opportunities involving Nintendo's famed Super Mario videogame series as a whole definitely get found for this 2025 year itself as well. Also, don't forget to let me know via these two online suggestion forms what songs in question you hope I'll consider for my planbook in the months to come (as well as what existing featured Mario installments for our operations along with featured Super Nintendo music instrument sets are you definitely familiar with). And finally, if you have any further questions for yours truly after reading this posting itself, please don't hesitate to let me know via this main email contact form as well and I'll get back to you in a timely manner upon careful review. Take care for now, everyone, and have a fantastic first weekend of 2025; stay warm as well. I'm out.
