Website changing by June 17

We're nearly ready to change the site over to the new design and web hosting arrangement, and are planning to make the change in the next day or two. During that time you may see some strange behaviour -- the site may appear to be down, or some things might not work properly. But it will come back in even better shape. Make sure you visit www.insidehomerecording.com and not homepage.mac.com/garaymusic to see the correct site.

One reminder: please ensure that you are subscribed to the podcast using the correct RSS feed: either feeds.feedburner.com/insidehomerecording for the Enhanced Podcast (here's a one-click iTunes link) or feeds.feedburner.com/ihrmp3 for the MP3 audio-only podcast (iTunes link).
