George's songs are now all done. If I've missed out anything major do let me know (no bootlegs/unreleased songs though).

I've just added an A-Z of Ringo's songs, though tbh I'm very unlikely to do individual articles for most of them. I'll probably go through the Photograph best-of and do those songs, and maybe I'll tackle some of the more important albums (Ringo, Goodnight Vienna etc), but I don't think anyone would lose sleep if I didn't cover Ringo Rama or Scouse The Mouse in-depth.

Thanks @Richard. Here's a list of 31 songs (one for each day of the month) that I drew up. There are a few that diverge from your list, and I'm open to suggestions.

I'm not sure if I'll do them at all, though. As far as I know the performer line-ups for his songs aren't always common knowledge, and I'm not convinced I'd be able to find them. If there's a good source out there please let me know.

I've now got feeds for John, Paul, George, Ringo (song/album of the day), and Wings (AOTD) and the Wilburys (SOTD), cycling on 7 or 31 day loops. I think it looks pretty good. Fortunately the Wilburys had seven singles (one was a promo), and George *almost* released 31 singles, though I had to add Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea to make up the numbers. That's OK though.

I decided not to do any more Ringo song features for a bit, because the data really isn't out there for who played what. I might revisit that section in future one day, but I'm going to head back to Bowieland for a bit now

On the subject of Ringo, is there a site or page anywhere that contains a list of all his live shows? I know a lot will be on setlist.fm, but I wonder if anyone knows of another. And did he tour much, or at all, before the first All-Starr Band in 1989? I'm a bit ignorant of his solo activities, but I do like to give him fair coverage on the site.

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Yeah, I'm not aware of any headlining shows at all before the All-Starr Band. I'll add a couple of links to the one above:

setlist.fm (Ringo Starr )

setlist.fm (All-Starr Band)

There's a bit of overlap between the above and I'm sure there'll be inaccuracies, but that's normal with user-generated sites. I'll draw up a list of tour dates and see how feasible it is to add to this site.

Edit: I forgot all about the Eight Arms To Hold You book, which has dates and info up to 2000. Should be OK now

This process is now complete. Sorry if you saw some downtime earlier in the day – my server needed a little TLC. Anyway, the site should be a lot faster than it was. The forum is always a little slow because it's component-heavy, but the rest of the site is nice and speedy, and hopefully will remain so.

I'm rolling out the new theme now. Many things are broken! Please don't report them yet – I'm working through a list, and I'll update this post when I think it's complete.

Edit, an hour later: OK, I think it's done! Let me know here if you love/hate anything and I'll try to do more/less of it. Also do please say if anything looks awry.

You might have noticed that the background image montage has mostly gone. It used to be on every page, but it felt a little dated. It's now only the background of the footer (still on every page, but less so).

Edit: It looks like bullet points and numbers aren't appearing, but I'll see if I can fix that. It might screw up some of the homepage layout, and if so I may need to leave out the bullets and numbers. This should be OK now, though I might tweak it a little in future.
