Minor, but recommended update: v2.71
We have just released a minor update to MyBandTheme, bringing the version number to 2.71. The update is a recommended update if you updated to v2.70 last week, as a bug was introduced, which inhibited the free download of music files. This update fixes the problem.
The fix affects 3 files, so we recommend not replacing the entire myband folder, rather just the 3 changed files you'll find in the changelog.

Read MoreFlash Doorway Pages for Band Websites?
We've received a few letters from clients, who asked whether we could program a Flash intro page for them, to appear as the hompage of their MyBandTheme powered band site.
Flash intro pages, also known as doorway pages, serve the purpose of having a pretty animation appear to the user, before they are finally taken to the content filled part of the website. These doorway pages were popular in the early 2000's, when lots of sites were built on purely Flash.
Things change though, technology advances, and trends die off.
