Blog Entry #1
Welcome to my new online home. I felt that now was the time to get something up so we can centralize this crazy world of MySpace’s, Facebook’s and the millions of other distractions. This site will grow over time and I am up for suggestions. My greatest moments in life have always been the moments when I connect with people. On or off the stage I believe that is my purpose. This is not an ‘online presence’ for me, it is my inspiration. To me, fans are not followers, fans are the fuel. You will never get some bullshit update or response from my label pretending to be me. You will get me. That being said it may not be as glitzy or planned, but in the words of the great 50 cent, ‘Me, I’m just me’.

Congrats as always, Ryan. You deserve it all!
March 18th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I’m so happy for you Ryan. You truly deserve it and I love you for what you do and who you are. I have met wonderful people through you and your music. I have alot of memories through you and thank you for them.

All things work 2 ways… *inspire*
Thank you x

Congrats Ryan, you are talented musician but an even more amazing guy. Glad to see you will always be there for your fans. In return we will always be there for you, no matter what. You music has helped me through some rough times and still helping me make it through the days. So thank you Ryan. Nice 50 cent reference, gangsta.

Hey Ryan,
So glad to see a central spot to keep up to date on your news. Hope to hear the new album soon. As much as you respect your fans, I bet we respect you even more. Keep it up : )

This rollercoaster ride with you is fantastic; I’ve got some more friends that want to hop on and I told them it’s free, just enjoy.
Wonderful love for you bro!

Great looking site Ryan - from a marketing standpoint it looks fantastic. Not a bad idea to centralize. Perhaps add on a forum for the fans to discuss everything there is to discuss about you. LOL! Don’t forget to set up your online store too - sell Ryan products and music! I would certainly purchase a Ryan t-shirt or two. I love the idea of you being an integral part of the site. Fans can tell when it’s a publicist - keep it real and the site will succeed!
Am I too old to be a fan?

So, so, so smart…
Good luck with EVERYTHING!
March 18th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Like the design, I think you should add some of the stuff from the old website aswell though.. the history page and the forums maybe.
March 18th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Congratulations, foxy!
March 18th, 2008 at 2:45 pm

I’m so glad to see things up and booming. The newest tracks I’ve heard sound as fantastic, if not better, as everything else. I’m glad you’re doing well and things are still wonderful. I’m looking forward to the new album.
March 18th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I love what you have done with the place! ~Incredible. Your realness and humbleness is the reason us fans will always have a place in our hearts for you and your music Ryan.
Wishing you all the best on the upcoming album. I cant wait to get my hands on it

Hey,
I think it’s awesome that you’re not the epitome of “hollywood” as one of the other people mentioned. Your music is amazing. It gives me goosebumps (which is not something that happens often). I can’t wait to read some new blogs and hear what you have to say.
Peace,
Lindsey

Hi Ryan, Love your new site.It’s so amazing how you
continue to share yourself with your fans giving us such
a feeling of value and worth in your life. Your are such
a accomplished musiciam and, above all, a man of substance.
No wonder you have such loyal following
Suggestions for your site:Scheduled time live chat with fans
Your fans would love to talk to you,since we can not all come
to see you. Stand alone player for your site music, so the
song does not start over each page we go to.
Online store to buy music and tees, caps, posters etc
Produce, and distribute your next album your self on line,
like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails.
More photos, and videos… we love to see you and yours.
Fan connection….were we the fans talk about you.
Ok that is all for now, but more ideas to come . We can
not wait for your album release, can you give us a hint as
to a releas date????? Yo
