We're aiming to "freshen up" the look of robingibb.com as well as reorganise content a bit, by early/mid-december. Do let us know what you like/dislike, and what (new/more) content/type of content you'd like to see added. We can't promise to take all ideas/suggestions into account, but we may be able to pick up at least some of the ideas!

Of course, I love it here, the only thing missing is Robin laugh. Wouldn't it send us to the moon crazy should he become more involved shocked tired smile !?!

If Robin were to answer and surprise us all shocked , one of our questions, or, upload a picture from his phone!?! Even if he corrected some misinformation or elaborated more on anything from the past or on an upcoming event!?!

Then all of our hearts would be on fire blush blush blush....

Whaddya think smile !?!

That's right, a little more Robin involvement would be much welcomed, maybe some news about new music and upcoming projects. I'd also like to see the site become a little more Bee Gees-orientated. Perhaps with some photos of Maurice, Robin and Barry together here and there outside of the History section.

More Robin involvement for sure! smile I faithfully stalk the "images from Robin's phone" area. . . and would love to see questions answered in the questions section. smile I absolutely *love* this site, and hearing from Robin regularly would be the ultimate! smile

I would like to hear about concerts from Robin's perspective, also. Pretty much I'd like to hear anything and everything. I LOVED the clips where Robin was talking politics. Video clips of Robin's thoughts on any subject would be quite welcomed. smile

Thank you so much for this lovely place to share our love of the Gibbs and make friends from around the world! Bless xoxoxoxo smile

PS Pictures. . .we get quite a few and they are so appreciated! But we're greedy LOL! There can never be enough photos of Robin! wink

These could be my very words. wink I generally am content with the contents of the site, with a little more input from Robin himself it would be just perfect.
As to the look however I would like to make a suggestion. There has been much complaint that the white on black is so hard to read. Of course we can enlarge, but then the sides are cut off, and scrolling back and forth is not really comfortable. From the examples we have seen the new pictures are supposed to be black and white (which I love, by the way smile ), I could imagine some lighter shade of grey (at least in the text parts) would go well with them and would be more eye-friendly.

Avalanche, you wrote everything I could have written, but keep thinking though :lightbulb: smile

Just have had a look on Barry's site. It has also changed!
The colour got darker, but it seems to be more alive!
But less informative (?)

As everyone above has mentioned I would be happy to see Robin's presence a little more too...I always enjoy his blog when there is an addition and look forward to the messages for holidays etc...but it would be nice to have an unexpected message or video, or the Q & A section become a regular feature. Also, I don't know if this is workable but is it possible that a music loop of Robin/Bee Gees songs could be continuously playing on the site? I think it would be nice to click on home and hear music!! You know maybe someone visiting the site will hear a song they do not recognize and it will encourage them to go in search of the song!!! grin But I don't know if perhaps that would interfere with the working of the audio and video already available on the site.
Thanks for listening!! smile

Great ideas smile !

Thinking it might be helpful to have a refresher course regarding Robin's Corner, for example, on how To Submit A Question To Robin smile .

Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback.

First of all I'd like to see the past newsletters available for logged-on members, or perhaps an easy way to access them (I still haven't received anything).

More photos would be great.

What does lovely Robin want to read about from his lovely fans?

I absolutely agree with all ideas above especially more involvement from Robin and more pictures. In the past, I know that Barry sometimes chatted with his fans via chatting room in his website, but I do not know whether it still exists now. Maybe, we have a chance to do like that with Robin.

The chatroom is still there, cuteRobin, but for a long time I couldn't re-register to Barry's site.
I took part in two chats, it was hectic, you just could not follow what was happening. Decided not to see it any more shocked I don't know if a new chat was since that time.

I do not think that a chat would really suit Robin. We might end up with him never appearing at all. wink Besides I feel there is not much essential ever said in a chat. In my opinion we would profit more if Robin could find time to share his thoughts with us in his Blog more regularly.

Some time ago I found a clipping from the Fab 208 magazine where around 1970 Robin used to write a column about his activities. It would be great if he would do something in this style here for us, maybe once a month. smile

Ann (& Robin),

It looks like the fans that check the website are looking for a more personal side of Robin, so any aspect of his past, present, or hopes for the future would be appreciated.

Personally, I'd be interested in seeing any poetry or prose, what books he recommends, visual arts by him or that he appreciates, photos, stories- even "seemingly insignificant" memories are fun to read, etc.

Many hugs to you and Robin.

The History section of the website has always been a great asset in my opinion with the photos, videos, etc from the past to the present. Always love to see more and new photos. Perhaps Robin could share some of the more candid ones taken while working in the studio either alone or with Barry and Maurice? Love to see them creating together!!Any awards or moments that may have had some extra special meaning or remembrance? smile Thank you!

Wonderful example, Gabriele from the source cool.

A short diary with whatever happens to be going on, or on his mind at the time smile !

Would love to hear more about Robin's historical interests, and, or, jaunts smile !

The Sky News Reviews are great. I find Robin's input valuable as it pertains to current events.

As a footnote wink. There is no doubt, should Robin participate, when his participation becomes known, there will be even more participants smile .
