...to everyone who has been participating in our 80's album review section (http://www.80sxchange.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=60).

To see the pages I've been working on with your reviews, click here (http://www.80sxchange.com/reviews/reviews.html)!

As for those of you who have not participated yet.. Ahh, that's okay! I know you'll be drawn in at one point or another! You will be assimilated!! ...or something like that.

Anyways, it's been a lot of hard work for me - especially since I don't have a lot of time. But this is something I'm really taking pride in - so I don't mind the work at all.

If you can think of any way to improve this little idea, please let me know.

Thank you!!

Ok, ok...I added my two cents to a couple in there finally...consider me assimilated...LOL :p This is a very cool feature Sal which could grow to be a great resource for 80's fans new and old looking to check out other music styles they may not have tried in the past and finding out what's hot and what's not :cool:

Looks great, Sal! I enjoy trying to write reviews to these. Actually, it can be quite a challenge sometimes. I have an idea, but I don't know if we could do it. I got the idea from the Duran Duran "Rio" review. It would be cool to have a picture of the album in the post. That way, if someone was looking for this album in the store, they could identify it very easily. I don't know how hard that would be to incorporate that into this.

Thanks Roem. And Stacy. There certainly can be an image to go along with a review. Just supply me with that image and I will add it in. I wonder, though. Is there any copyright infringement to worry about there?

I'm not sure. I need to try to look into that somehow.

I've really enjoyed reading everyone's reviews!!! Doing a great job!! :D :D :D

Sal, this is great! Very good idea. I'll send some reviews along as soon as I get a bit of time. :)

Thank you to all the posters from me as well. It is really a good read and a nice reminder of albums I completely forgot about. :)

Thanks again, all. This is really turning out nicely. It's a lot of work for me, but worth it. One of these days, I'll get enough time to figure out a program to make this happen automatically instead of me having to update and create new pages constantly.

But, like I said, I'm glad it's happening. This is some nice original content for the 80's community...

That is going to be one great album database. Is there any way the artists can be sorted by last name? Not that it is a problem now, but with the database expanding it will be.

Another suggestion....you may want to put a horizontal rule &lt;hr&gt; or divider between albums by the same artist. Like the review of Rio and the review of Seven and The Ragged Tiger on the Duran Duran page should be clearly separate on the same page.

Oops...nevermind...I see how you got it separated with the bookmark link method :p

Thanks for the suggestion, Roem. Should I still add a horizontal rule? What do ya think? I thought it was a pretty good idea...

Yeah, it would probably look a little better....just in case someone goes through the page straight down without hitting the 'back to top link', they can easily differentiate between the two album reviews :cool:

Okay. I added 'em in. I think there's only two right now. Various and Bon Jovi...

The Duran Duran page needs one too :cool:

Done. :) Thank you!

This was a great idea Sal. I'm not good at album reviews so I'll leave that to those who have done a wonderful job so far. Love the reviews everyone!

Sal do you have a banner in the works that will also promote the album review page because I'd love to put that on my page :)

Stuck an idea in my head Zel....my creative mind couldn't resist cookin' up one of it's 10 minute specials...lol :p Just a possibility...

I love it Roemy!!!!

I love the colors. let me know when you can get a link going :)

YOu are the graphics God! :)

Thank ya! :) The link would be something for Sal to set up if he wants to use it ;)

Cool banner! Yeah, I like it.. Ahh, I'm not sure what you mean about the link. Just link it to the main reviews page. You know where it is, right?

Yeah...nothing to that actually. You obviously got my permission to use it, so just save the banner, upload it to your webspace, add it to your page with a link back to the reviews page and boom! all done :)

Although if you really need exact coding (which I doubt you do), feel free to ask ;)

Hey you two :) Let me know when the banner is ready! I want to get that up on my site. I'm going to put it at the top :)

Sal I have done a few messages here and there and since you and your staff probly stay up till 1:00 in the morning trying to make this site on of the best websites. So I am trying to add a ton more replies to all of yours topics and your staff's!So keep on keeping the 80's alive man ;)

Hey! Thanks, Chris! You're learning about this message board stuff quite early! :)
