Internet: New Arts, Music Sites, and Ydaho
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The newly listed Mormon websites this week
include a number of arts and music sites. LDS artist Del Parson's
website, Providence Music Publishing and Mark Hansen's website are
probably the best of the lot, with a lot of information and clean,
clear design. A very useful addition to the web is Preston Hunter's
page on LDS Filmmakers. while Hunter claims the list is incomplete,
it is far more complete than anything anyone else has put together.
In the odd department is the new site, Ydaho, a bald-faced attempt to
capitalize on the change of Ricks College to BYU-Idaho. The site
sells tee-shirts, sweatshirts, caps and other material that read
"Ydaho," apparently the owner's nickname for the college.
