Welcome!

This is the new site for the Bert Kaempfert page.

Work on this site began one month ago today, on April 17, 2013. I'm continuing to add compilation CDs to the discography as I find time. I've also been updating albums with credits and liner notes, two or three each night which you can find under the recent updates page.

Much of the more recent work has been on the back end; creating a user interface so that Jürgen and Nils can update album details. Shortly I'll work on the album detail pages to make them appear more polished. I'd like to add the ability for fans to add comments and ratings and perhaps add audio samples.

Next week I'm off to Portland, Oregon to attend DrupalCon, the semiannual Drupal conference. Perhaps I'll learn something which will benefit the Kaempfert and Conniff sites.

I'm building this site to learn what I need to know before taking on the bigger task of redesigning The Ray Conniff page this summer which should be live before the 2013 Ray Conniff Convention in Brussels in September.
