New Celebration Items

2009-09-14T13:48:00.001+02:00

Little by little, we're adding the various Celebration releases to the database, one of them the EU 12" picture disc, which exact origin I'm wondering about. Is it made in Germany or in the UK? Come join the discussion here.

Check out the Celebration single page, the Celebration album page and the Celebration video page.

Introducing the Diary of a Record Bulimic

Read about my addiction in my new blog. I promise it won't take me too far away from MadonnaCollections.net.

Where is the Royal Box?

2009-08-31T19:54:00.002+02:00

Being a cool geeky site, MadonnaCollections.net has its own Easter eggs, in the form of two hidden pages for the Royal Box (one for the CD version, one for the cassette version).

I could tell you where to find them, but then they wouldn't be Easter eggs, would they?

Help needed

You might have noticed that the song database (a.k.a. the songbook) needs completing. If you like filling forms, you can give us a hand.

E-mail webmaster@madonnacollections.net for instructions (and gratitude).

New Songbook Section Open to the Curious-Minded

2009-05-22T18:44:00.005+02:00

You can all catch a glimpse of Madonna Collections Version 2 (Beta!) — a.k.a. mc2b — by visiting the newly opened songbook section.

In this section, you'll find a rather incomplete database of all Madonna songs and remixes, which will eventually be linked to the discography section.

By visiting, you will also get a rare chance to witness painstaking web design in the making...

Current Madonna Collections users should log onto version 1 first, so that their account will be upgraded for version 2.

If you're a patient and meticulous person willing to help, please let me know.

Twitter Frenzy

2009-03-25T20:21:00.008+01:00

I opened a Twitter account for MadonnaCollections.net a few months ago (I was an early Twitter user myself). I got a few followers (some real people, some spammers) but lately things have taken a new turn. March brought 38 (edit: 48) new followers so far, which is as many as the past 8 months altogether. No need to say I didn't do anything to make it happen...

Is Twitter the next big thing? Or should I run away from the birds?

(This is normally a pictureless blog, but I thought this fitted)

Facebook Comments Box

2009-02-20T12:49:00.004+01:00

It's been quite a while since I worked on the site but, this morning, I had to try the new widget from Facebook: Comments Box.

As a result, you can now post comment on most of the site's pages, using your Facebook account. Your comment can even be displayed back on your Facebook profile if you chose to.

Try it here.

Les photos de ma collection

Unrelated to the site, I've posted a few in situ pictures of my collection on flickr.

Announcing "My Stuff"

2008-06-13T18:30:00.004+02:00

In version 2, no more begging for database additions! (I know it sometimes feels like it…)

You can add your unlisted items yourself. Not just the kind we already have (CD, vinyl, DVD…), but any kind you feel like collecting. Magazines, T-shirts, books, memorabilia… you name it!

And when you add something that belongs to the discography section, we'll review and transfer it.

MadonnaCollections.net on Twitter

2008-06-12T13:08:00.003+02:00

Twitter users can now follow mcollections for site and database updates. At first, these will be manual, but I plan on posting automated updates of the database from version 2.

FAQ: What Will Happen to My Existing Account?

2008-06-10T23:38:00.003+02:00

Your existing account on version 1 will be transfered to version 2. So will all your collection items.

Once the new site is up, you can use your current username and password to log in. All you will have to do is tweak the new account options.

New Collector Features

2008-06-10T17:18:00.006+02:00

Here are a few of the new and improved collector features you will find in version 2:

Add multiple copies of the same item to your collection (ideal for spares and alternate stickers)
Improved seller manager
Receipt manager (store your scanned receipts to keep better track of your purchases)
Export your collection as an Excel-friendly CSV file

Announcing MadonnaCollections.net Version 2

2008-06-10T15:21:00.002+02:00

Dear collectors,

Some of you know I've been working on version 2 of the site for ages. I still can't say when it will be up, but it is taking shape now.

Version 1 had too many flaws and was too hard to maintain. I had to re-program from scratch and do a little database re-modelling too.

Version 2 will do more and look better!!!

I'll be posting feature previews here just to keep you yearning (and to keep me motivated), and I'll also try and keep you posted about what is still happening to version 1.

À bientôt !
