Welcome to Maximum Ink

Wisconsin's Music Magazine | Established in 1996
***PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE: This is the "beta" version of our new website. It was developed from the ground up using ExpressionEngine technology that lets our readers "sort" through our articles in a new way to find out about the artists Maximum Ink has covered since the original launch in 1996.

Keep in mind that this new site is still in the "beta" mode, and some sort results may come up "blank" as all of our articles and reviews have not been ported over to this new site. There are enough, however, to give a good feel of how this new site works and sorts information.

Sorting is a new feature, you can click the different sorts in the sidebars and table of contents pages to bring up articles and calendar listings in different ways, by month, by year, by first letter of band or last name, and more. Just click around and enjoy the results, the "lightbulb" moment of navigation structure should come naturally, we hope. ;)

Continual updates will occur, adding articles, reviews, news and blogs regularly, as well as design and structure repairs and additions. Features like search, related articles, photo galleries and many more are forthcoming. Please enjoy your "live" vantage point as we further develop this site to serve you our vast archive of editorial, as well as the current issue on the streets.

Anyone wishing to submit "error" notices (this is beta) please email webmaster (at) maximumink (dot) com and we'll do our best to track it down and fix it. This site is a very large project and we appreciate your help with this grand cause. We already are aware of a few "glitches" between the Firefox and Microsoft browser, but those traitors will be dealt with.

Our new technology will allow our staff to update the site on a regular basis and keep it updated on a much more regular basis, allow for commenting for each review, article, news item or blog,

In no way is this site finished, the development process will continue on a regular basis. Thank you for your patience while we grow.
