Hi i wonder how to put Latest Search artist or songs at my www.bandstreaming.com as you can see at the homepage all the artist list there is manual. Can i make it auto updating list? Like a tag cloud or something different? Like when someone search for madonna then it will appear at the homepage?

Please kindly help..

Sure, this can be done rather easily with a database, if your interested I can code you the required scripts, send me a pm. Otherwise I think there might be some opensource alternatives if you search on google.

I called it a tag cloud, though I'm not sure what the real name would be. Basically it is a script that checks the database for a word, if that word is found it adds to a value in the row, if not it's added into the database. It also keeps track of the last time that row was accessed. There are also functions to retrieve the data, in varying ways (Top count, Latest, etc). I can upload the scripts to my website if you want. Otherwise there are some others on the net, just google Tag Script.
