New Additions and more news
Well it’s been a pretty busy few months for me. As you may remember I have put the build of Emmageddon on hold BUT have purchased the hosting and domain again as I do want to finish this.
The things that have kept me busy for the past couple of months have been very much worth it and are ongoing. Under my design site Nineteen76-Designs, I have been working with the legend that is Rob Zombie on his new official site. Although final sign off is delayed as Rob is currently filming The Lords of Salem, we have a holding page which delivers news and keeps updated until we are ready to fully launch. Also I have designed two single covers for John 5 – Beat It and Noche Acosador. And there’s been a lot more too.
BUT I am still collecting so wanted to let you know.
New additions: (more…)
Site build to be delayed – sorry
Despite my best intentions, Emmageddon will be on hold for at least the next month or so. Which is a continuation of the past few months of delay but it has been very busy for me with work.
This year has seen revamps for all my clients sites, a new site build in the form of the new John 5 Fan Club site and I have just this week begun working with a new client under my design company Nineteen76-Designs.
My collection still grows and I will do an update on that at some point but as to building the site and the collection, this little project will have to wait for a while.
Tis a shame as I have been enjoying working on this, even with the small updates but it is my intention to finish this, even if the deadline now moves to Winter 2011. Thanks for the patience and support

Muchos apologies first off for the lack of updates to the main site – things have been more hectic than I bargained with but I d have some time set aside so I am working on the site still.

- Green Backstage Pass
- Remix and Repent Digipack
- High End of Low promo sticker
Second photo upload completed
Afternoon all.
First of all thank you to all for the interest so far. Have received a lot of comments here and privately regarding the site – many people expressing an interest in seeing it completed. Thank you. I’m getting there with the photographing and uploading. Part two went in today. Had hoped to photograph up to and including Holywood but back is pretty bad today, so I finished at the last Tour on Earth. Again please remember this is just at the moment for music owned, not other content – although a couple of Mechanical Animal silk pass sheets did sneak in. But nevertheless once all the albums have been done then the rest gets put in.
But for today:
- Remix and Repent albums and related which includes Long Hard Road out of Hell and Spawn soundtrack
- Mechanical Animals albums, singles, promos and some related material
- Last Tour on Earth albums and promos
I’m still putting in the descriptions for these items but should all be done very soon today. Thanks again for the interest.
First photo upload completed
Well that was fun. The first batch of photos was uploaded with content summaries. So far:
- Portrait of an American Family: albums, singles, promos
- Smells Like Children: albums, singles, promos and related
- Antichrist Superstar: albums, singles, promos and related
This is just a small start in the content upload and there will be more added to the site as a whole and other items to each page already listed.
Simplified top menu and new top header
It occured to me the other day that the top menu system was getting a little bloated. So I decided to change this to introduce Parent and Child Menus. So for example you click on Albums, Singles and Promo’s a drop down menu appears which shows each album era etc etc. Things become simpler when it comes to Paraphernalia, John 5 and Other Artists. These pages are one with seperate bannered section galleries for relevant collection items.
Doing the menu this way allows me to account for future releases from Marilyn Manson and allows me to step away from the album abbreviations I was using before (LWF, HW etc) which although for the fanbase will be immediatley recognisable, to anyone just venturing a look and not aware of the abbreviations mean, this could be confusing on the menu system.
Finally I have put together a new top header. This image of Marilyn Manson was taken during the Lest We Forget promotional shoots. A promotional self portrait (Thanks to S.D. from Provider Module for the information), the image has been manipulated using the same background that the site has, a weathered leather look. I think it fits perfectly with the site look. And it’s not bad imo, for someone who is currently suffering with insomnia and surviving on 3 hours sleep a night (if lucky).
Now operating a link exchange
One of the features the site now incorporates is a link exchange. My aim is to build a network of sites up, fan sites, collectors etc etc and help promote one another. Community has always been important to me as a fan online. This is my way of helping to build and connect that community.
I have imported all the links I had on my blogroll to the link-exchange. You can find out more and how to submit by going here: link-exchange/ You’re very welcome to submit your site – I look forward to seeing what you do.
