I have moved my site (AGAIN!) to yet another server, because AOL seems to have suspended my web account without notice. I hope all the links work correct, please let me know of any problems. I am still hosting the Image Gallery at separate AOL accounts and so far, they seem ok.
Wu-Fam: Real Names, FAQ, Reviews: How High (Soundtrack), Reviews: Deadly Dartz, Reviews: Ten Tigers of Kwantung, Reviews: The Mental Chambers, Ol' Dirty Bastard: Trials & Tribulations of Russell Jones (Front + Back Covers). As you can see I'm making an effort to write a lot of reviews.
I get the feeling the Champ MC (Real Audio) account on Geocities has been disabled. If I get the chance next week, I'll upload it onto another server.
For those who follow the goings-on in the 5 Elements Forum, I posted a thread about the cartoon series Transformers. A US company called Rhino has finally decided to release the first season on DVD, but will only release the next two seasons if this one sells well. I'd like to see this happen as I'm a big fan of the Transformers. So if you have the cash and love the cartoon like I do, visit Amazon.com.
Props: Tha Masta, Wu-ADAS, B Fists (for designing the banner which I'm using on the Pre-Release Album Info page) & GhostDog

Release Dates, Reviews: Iron Flag, Reviews: The Sting. I have more updates coming soon.

April 21, 2002 - NEW SITE
The Wu-Tang Monastery has been redesigned once again. This time I've opted for a more professional look (the last design looked fairly dated) including information mixing the old with the new. Navigation is far easier with the "Navigation" panel on the left, replacing the fairly clumsy system of the last WTM. One noticeable feature is that there are no pop-up advertisements, a welcome relief which I hope will stay. I have paid an annual fee to my "Go.To" re-direct server to keep those pesky pop-ups away, so now everyone can browse the Wu-Tang Monastery without seeing those annoying ads. I am currently housing this site at AOL with the Image Gallery and Real Audio at other webservers.
Speaking of Real Audio, I've re-introduced that page which I will update as often as possible. Even though there will always be biters waiting to steal such links, I'm no longer bothered. The Real Audio files have tags embedded saying that they come from this site anyway. So those people (or person) will simply look stupid by posting up files which they didn't create.
Also on the same subject, I am housing the audio files on various "free" webservers on the Internet. They do not allow the housing of such files which are then linked to other websites such as mine. So when the webmasters of Geocities for example, find out that this is happening, they will suspend the account and any files therein. So you can imagine that the Real Audio section is probably the most unstable section of my site, but I will keep it running as long as possible. But I am always on the lookout for a more dedicated server, so anyone has any recommendations, I'm always happy to hear them.
I have tested this site on various browser versions and every page works. Some design elements will vary according to the browser but I personally prefer the look given by Internet Explorer. If for some reason something just doesn't seem to look right, please e-mail and let me know so that I can fix it if need be. This includes any broken links etc.
Some pages may seem incomplete such as the FAQ page and the Real Audio: Singles page. If you have a request for a particular Wu song let me know and I will post it at a future date (provided the song exists and I have it). Similarly, if you know of a particularly important question which you feel should be in the FAQ section, email it to me. Most pages have new info/content on them (eg. Release Dates, New Images etc.).
I may report Wu news from time to time in this section, but it won't be a priority for me though. My main objective is to keep this site updated and running. One area which I do hope to become more involved in is the Album Reviews. To date I have only written one review, but this is something I hope to rectify in time. Anyone who fancies themself as a competant writer are free to submit their reviews to me and I will post them for others to read.
All in all, that's really everything that I have to say. Please take some time to browse this site and peace to everyone who supports the Wu-Tang Monastery... leave me a message in the Guestbook.
