-<h2>Recent Changes</h2>
-
-<p>I've made some more changes:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Removed the list of songs from the front page. There were getting to be just
-too many songs listed to be helpful. Instead I now have a drop down list of
-artists and songs as well as a search box. Select an artist or a song and then
-select go to go to an artist page or a song page. Or search for a term. The search
-will search for a word or phrase in the title, artist or in the song itself. The
-search is not that bright but works fairly well.</li>
-
-<li>There's a new artist's page which shows you all of the artists songs in one
-page. Many artists have only one or a few songs. Some artists have quite a few
-songs.</li>
-
-<li>The song pages now are on auto play. If they have music assoicated with them
-then their music will start playing automatically.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Past Changes</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Changed the home icon to something much bigger. Clicking on this gets you
- back to the <a href="/songbook">Songbook home page</a>.</li>
-
- <li>Now if the song has an associated .mp3 file in the Media folder that
- <b>exactly</b> matches the song's title then a little HTML5 MP3 player will
- appear. You can play the song while you read the words and follow the
- chords! <b>Note:</b> You can right click and save the song's mp3 file to
- your computer. If the song does not have a corresponding .mp3 file then
- no .mp3 player is displayed. For example, <a href="http://defaria.com/songbook/webchord.cgi?chordpro=/web/songbook/Songs/Amie.pro">Amie</a>.</li>
-
- <li>Again, if the song has a corresponding .mp3 file I now re-write the .pro
- file to include {musicpath:/sdcard/SongBook/Medai/<<i>title</i>>.mp3}.
- This string "links" the ChordPro file with music such that (in SongBook, the
- app I use on my Android Tablet) you can play the song's mp3 file on your
- tablet! I'm not sure if OnSong (the iPad equivalent of SongBook) does the same
- thing. If you sign up for sharing my songbook via DropBox (<a href="mailto:adefaria@gmail.com?subject=Please share your SongBook with me">send me email</a> if
- you want an invite) you should be all set.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p><b>Note:</b> Currently my code is very picky. The file name for the .pro file
-and the .mp3 file must match <b>exactly</b> - is case sensitive, etc. If you
-have access to my songbook in DropBox and wish to add a .pro file and it's
-corresponding .mp3 file then be sure to match the names up correctly and put the
-.mp3 file in the Media folder.</p>
-
-<h2>Future Changes</h2>
-
-<p>Here are some of the things I'm thinking of implementing:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><strike>I'm thinking of re-vamping the main page. Instead of listing all the
- songs, which are getting to be a bit much, I would like to possibly make a
- little search facility that would scan the .pro files for text matching in the
- song titles and lyrics themselves.</strike></li>
-
- <li>Another change I'm thinking of making is making it so that when you hover
- over a chord a little popup happens that shows the chord's fingering. Sorta
- like it's done over on tabs-ulitimate-guitar.com (For example:
- <a href="http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/steve_miller/serenade_crd.htm">here</a>).
- Anybody know how to do that?</li>
-
- <li>Maybe a simple editor so people can edit songs directly.</li>
-
- <li>Maybe interfacing with Dropbox to display information about the last
- person to update the songfile...</li>
-</ul>
