Michael Jackson music legacy as well as his generous input through music to the world has mesmerised millions of people throughout the world and it won’t be forgotten in a hurry. To me personally he was an Inspiration. Firstly as an Artist, Dancer, Performer, Songwriter, Visionary and Outstanding Singer who brought so much love to the world that will be felt for years to come.
My good friends at Create Digital Motion and Create Digital Music have recently developed and launched Noisepages: Websites for smart artists – Blog Networking service which allows artists to publicise and promote themselves and Digital Arts as a means to spread Visual and Sound cheer across a wide world of http. The system used to support it is based on Wordpress MU which is a multi user Wordpress environment, very closely related to wordpress itself with ability to handle large number of users for all blogging and content purposes.
It didn’t take me long to join in and so my own channel is born http://vdmokstati.noisepages.com
Please join in, bookmark, rss feed and enjoy!
