An FAQ is a list of Frequently Asked Questions about a particular topic. Here I am trying to answer some of the common questions about the recently announced Man of the Moment project which is part of this site.

Man of the Moment is a fan site for some of the hottest looking men around. Every couple of months a new man is selected to be the Man of the Moment. Usually you will find that the person in question is in the news for some reason and most of the selected men are in the entertainment industry. Thus, men in the television category tend to be on a current TV show; in the music category they may have a new record out and in the film category they probably have a new film in the works.

Jon, of the Listen to Musak blog, selects the men featured in the Man of the Moment section. It is not a public vote yet but there are plans for people to nominate suggestions. If you have any comments on the current selection, you can leave a message in the comments section for that entry.

Man of the Moment is a personal selection and the men are selected when there is something to say. There isn’t always somebody worth featuring every month.

No, Man of the Moment is created for fans but is in no way connected nor endorsed by the people featured. Most of the people are in the public eye and you will see links to other fan sites. It goes without saying that if people connected with the individuals concerned have any problems with the content of Man of the Moment they should contact us at once.

The pictures are all sourced from sites on the web. We do not own the copyright on any of the images and have not scanned any material ourselves. If you feel we should not be showing some of the images, let us know and we will remove them.

Man of the Moment is not designed to be a gallery or image collection, there are plenty of them on the web. The images are only there to show you who the people we are talking about are (and why they’ve been selected). Most of the entries have links to other online image galleries (however those links are not connected to Man of the Moment).

Of course. The idea behind the project came from the fact that the Listen to Musak blog talks a great deal about these people – the music, films or television programmes that feature the men concerned. It was originally designed to provide me with some content to allow me to experiment with multiple content generation tools and to provide me with some traffic to look at web analytic software. It also enables me to evaluate search engine/keyword marketing: all things that I have needed to do in my professional life but wanted a more personal environment to look into these things if I was going to do it for fun. I wrote a little more about that here.

Listen to Musak is my personal area on the internet – it’s a piece of personal publishing – something I think the internet is ideally suited to. Click here to see Listen to Musak content or click here for the Listen to Musak FAQ.

The blog is written by somebody from England so I use the British spellings of words.

2002: What is Man of the Moment?
2002: Is this me?

I have been writing online since 1993/4. I started off on bulletin boards and later moved into the realms of HTML. I used the name Musak on Monochrome back in 1993. I have always believed in the power of personal publishing to add to our society; maybe even to add to the power of democracy.

In the period since then, I have experimented with various sites but it wasn’t until Movable Type that I was able to easily manage a great deal of content and this site became, what is known as, a blog.

I have been involved in the development of several sites of the years (some large, some small) but it is only now that there is the software easily available to bring the content management of the larger sites to the smaller ones. Although this site is a useful creative outlet for me personally, it is also a little playground to allow me to look into the capabilities of the software (web log analysis, referral logs and content management to name but a few).

I have been looking for a way to experiment with combining several instances of Movable Type but, for the life of me, I have been trying to find something. And today I have launched Man of the Moment – which is using another Movable Type weblog to create and I am trying to integrate some of it into this site.

Man of the Moment is, therefore, a technical experiment and may not last very long. Of course, if is also a shameless way to get pictures of good looking men on the site. I suspect the quality of the men may determine how long I keep it going! So get a look while it lasts!
