site administration
Dave, brother of Mike (the drummer), volunteered his time to help the band with the site, newsletter, sound, recording, and mixing. He built the original hollowe website from scratch using just HTML, CSS, SQL, and PHP. The Guestbook was the only prebuilt add-on. Dave also built a suite of simple administration tools so the band could keep hollowe.com fresh without writing code. Dallas added the shows and Anthony posted the setlists. Dave thought about packaging these tools up into a product for other bands, but that never happened. Here’s a peek at the old admin screens that lived at hollowe.com/admin/. Archive only — nothing here is live.
- admin hub — The welcome screen — Dave’s way in to the tools.
- book show — Where Dallas added upcoming dates.
- add setlist / show dropdown — Where Anthony populated setlists, which would appear on the Shows Dates page.
- add news — A quick news blurb for the homepage.
- mailing list emails — Fans who’d signed up for updates.
- mailing list details — Names, zips, and notes from sign-ups.
- download stats — Here, the band could monitor how many people have downloaded full songs.
