Блоги: заметки с тегом My websites and blog

Fresh re-start

Daniel Sokolovskiy — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 00:39:33 +0500

Over the past years, I’ve been posting all sorts of things on my blog: from new podcast episodes to life events and random personal updates. That partly was intentional, as I like to keep everything around rather than having it scattered across different platforms and social media. I thought posting here everything was a good idea. But when I recently scrolled through the blog, I felt it had become almost like a newsfeed, and I didn’t like it.

I want to have a blog with more meaningful posts. A blog that would invite people to read, and encourage me to write. Fewer ‘check it out’ posts, less noise. More thoughts, more meaning. This is the type of blog I would like to have.

With that in mind, I’ve hidden a substantial amount of posts. I’ve been pretty ruthless in clearing it up, so don’t be surprised if you miss a post or two (or a few hundred).

At the same time, I’ve done my best to find more appropriate places for some types of content that I’m posting regularly. For example, the Ask Me Anything series now has a dedicated page for each episode on the website. The same goes for almost everything music-related, like Rave Podcast, which now can be found on the website of my music alias. Some work is still in progress in that regard, so you might see occasional ‘not found’ pages for the time being, which I’ll fix eventually.

I want to encourage you to grab the RSS feed to subscribe to new blog posts, which I hope you’ll enjoy reading. If you want to keep up with all my news and updates, my Telegram channel is the best place. For anything else, don’t hesitate to hit me up via email.

Website split: new changes

Daniel Sokolovskiy:

As I dive into different roles, both within and beyond the music scene, I’ve decided to split my website into two separate entities:

dsokolovskiy.com now covers everything about my persona — music, education, blog;
daniellesden.com is dedicated exclusively to my music alter ego, where you’ll find my tunes, gigs, podcast, and more.

Don’t worry; I’ll still be posting everything here on this blog, same as always. If you stumble upon any broken links due to these changes, just give me a heads-up. I hope you like the new look of my websites!

Advice section on the website

Daniel Sokolovskiy:

Finally, the advice series got its own separate section on the site.

Earlier you had to go to the blog, find the tag “advice” in the blog, and only then a person would find out that these posts were even there.

Now it became easier: now advice posts are on a separate page with a convenient short address dsokolovskiy.com/advice (all posts there are grouped by topic, a sort of rubricator), and the link to this page is located directly in the top menu.

So, come in to read and show it to your friends:

Website 4.5

Daniel Sokolovskiy:

A huge update for mobile users

I’ve been in the music business for 5 years and know for certain that I will continue pursuing the passion for music production for the rest of my life. For me, this is a journey, not a destination.

People keep asking why I care about my website so much and spend hours tweaking and improving it. Well, it’s quite simple: I want to have a perfect place to log all of my career accomplishments while giving the visitors and the fans the best user experience. And the same as with my music, I’m doing my best in this field.

Website 4.5
Website 4.0
Website 3.0
Website 2.0

Today, I’m excited to introduce the new 4.5 version of the website with huge improvements for mobile users. It’s not just desktop and mobile templates, it so much bigger than that. The whole website adapts and changes its layout to help you focus on the content, whether you’re using a large desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or a smartphone. It almost as if the website is alive and it’s absolutely fantastic.

I would also like to highlight some important changes in the «Advice» section. Every week I answer the questions you send me on various topics, from music production to music industry insights — basically, that’s how the «Advice» works. I sincerely want you to find these blogs useful for years to come. The problem was, each time new posts came out, the older ones would go down, blocking new users from discovering useful articles.

From now on “Advice” section has spotlights — fixed places for the most important articles, grouped by topics: music production, DJ’ing, marketing, music industry, and the special «Getting started spotlight» for newcomers. But no worries, all other posts are still there and available as usual.

It should help you find relevant articles much easier, whether you are a first-time visitor or a follower. I think it’s a nice little feature. Do you?

There are more cool little updates across the whole website, but I’ll leave them for you to discover.
