I hope you like it. Not all the pages are up yet but it hopefully won't be long until they are. I have more pictures that need to go up in the gallery too, I just need to get to them along with everything else. In the mean time enjoy, and remember your input is always appreciated.

Continuing problems with Geocities: If while visiting the site you get any "Forbidden" or "Not Found" errors, or if any of the graphics fail to show up, this is due to on going problems with the Geocities servers, and not problems with the page.

Notice: (10-22-00)

Reciently, there was a message posted to the message board attached to Billy's official site. This message, which appears to be sent from me, was not. Although similar in appearance to my userid, the "L's" in BillyGilmanFan were replaced with "I's".

Unfortunately in this world, there will always be people who will spend their time trying to make other people's lives miserable, rather than leading a life of their own. Please join me in ignorning any posts that this person may make. He is not worth our time and effort.

I appologize for any confusion that this individual has created.

On a related note, I have been in contact with RPM about the user "Billy2005" and their official statement on this user is:
"Billy never said any such thing about his fans. And you have my permission to tell people that you contacted Billy's management company and this "friend" is not a friend of Billy's; nor has he/she been given permission to speak on Billy's behalf. Further, Billy loves his fans - young and "old" (is that anyone over 15??). I will let the website director at Sony know to remove such posts."

Site improvements (12-04-00)

As part of my continuing efforts to improve this sight I am pleased to announce that starting right away the site has a new host, thanks to the generosity of ByteHosting.com For imformation see the notice on the next page.

Site Improvement Notice!
Hi Everyone! As I mentioned on the front page, in my continuing efforts to improve the site I am pleased to announce that the site has a new host thanks to the generosity of ByteHosting.com

In terms of improvements one of the first things you will notice is the gallery. It will take me a while to move all the galleries over to the new host, but as I do you will notice that the gallery images will load faster as well as improvements to the pages.

The new host will also allow for future additions to the site that were not available before. I've received a few suggestions and will look into implementing them shortly.

New Address
The site's new address is http://www.bytehosting.com/~billygilmanfan/. The old address http://www.geocities.com/billygilmanfan/ will now become the mirror/back-up site. To make things easier the front page now has two "Enter Here" links, the original large one takes you into the site on the new host. Below it there is a smaller one that will take you into the mirror site.

Discussion List
The first new addition to the site, (unrelated to the new host) is the that TUBGFWS is the new owner of the Billy_Gilman eGroup list This list is open to all of Billy's fans, and it is my hope that by including it as part of the site you will all join us and make it the best list on the internet to discuss Billy, his CD's, songs and TV appearances.

Have fun!
