Latest Eagles News

Networking

As you can tell from the badges over on the left, we're experimenting with a little social networking. We've had a MySpace for a while and it's been working out okay. We've added a Facebook and we're a little unsure how that works. If you're on Facebook and want to friend us (or whatever they call it) please do so that we can play around with it a little more. It seems like there are a lot of Eagles fans there. We're trying to figure out if we should start a group there or join groups. It's a bit confusing for us oldsters, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Admin Note RE: Comments

Just a quick note to let you know that we've deleted some comments today. We provide the comment capability to allow readers to discuss the articles and news pieces we post. We do not provide them so that everything gets turned into an argument/rant about Don Felder. If/When these off-topic Felder comments pop up, we'll delete them. We're sick of having to moderate these arguments and then get the nasty/abusive comments and emails that usually follow.

There is already a place on this site to discuss Mr. Felder and all aspects of his career. You can rant there until you are blue in the face. The comments section in stories that have nothing to do with him is not the place for that. Thanks!

Features and Links Update

I've finally updated the Fastlane Features over on the right side of the page. Check them out and then come over to Eagleland to talk about them with other fans.

Yesterday, I told you about our new Links page. I've configured something with the program to post any new links we've added to the blog here once a day. We'll see if that works. I'm trying to add topical things. Tomorrow morning when you log on, you should see a bunch of Glenn golfing links here for your viewing pleasure. If you have feedback about the new links or how it's working, please let us know.

Getting Linked

As many of you know...this site is huge and it sometimes gets away from us. We've been working on this thing for over 10 years and some of the pages were made about that long ago. We were horrified earlier this week when we took a look at our Links Page. About 85% of the links didn't work.

It was kind of sad to see that many of the old fan sites have simply slipped away. There have been some great fan sites over the years. We remember the first we ever visted...the site Bev set up on the Powell River, BC chamber of commerce site. Anyone else remember that? Annette's site in the Netherlands with all of the great photos? Most recently, Wim decided to close his Desperado site. There have been many others as well and we certainly want to keep track of those that still remain.

We've gotten rid of our old links page and set up a de.licio.us account so that it can be updated more easily. Make sure to check it out. Use the tags on the right to find just what you are looking for.

Most importantly...we need YOU to send us links you think would be of interest to Eagles fans. We'll probably start linking up to page on this site in an effort to help you explore this place better, but please either email us your suggestions or if you have a de.licio.us account yourself, join our network and send us links. We can't wait to build this resource together with you.

Fastlane Features

We've long been frustrated by the fact that sometimes there's too much stuff here on the site and people don't get a chance to check it out. We're going to try to highlight some of the older or rarer things in our archives. If you look over on the right ----->  each week we're going to list a video clip, audio interview and print piece. Take a watch or listen and then head over to Eagleland where we're discussing them.

This week, we're talking about "selling out", lip-synching,  and band interviews in general. Join us, won't you (remember, we've made it even easier to register and post on Eagleland).

Eagleland Forum

We've been having some problems with the email notification system on our forum. Because of that, some folks have been registering and havne't received their confirmation email.  We've turned off the function that makes you wait for confirmation. So...you should be able to register and post right away.

We're having some great discussions about the upcoming tour, so feel free to come on over.

Just head to the forum, create an ID and get started!

Calendar Reminder

Just a reminder that we will be ordering the next (and final) batch of calendars on Saturday. Please have your order in to us by tomorrow.

Calendar Deadline

If you're still wanting a 2008 calendar, please have your order to us by January 11th. We'll do one more printing this year. Thanks to everyone who helped out by purchasing a calendar! 

Archive Feedback

I've been set with the task of archiving everything that's been on the site for the past year (we've kind of let that slide) and since I've got a ton of stuff to add, I'd love some feedback.

Check out the audio, video and article pages below and let me know what would make them easier to use. We want to make these pages easy to use and make things easy for people to find.
