Main Artist Page
<p>Hey Guys!</p><p>You may have noticed the main page here is a bit different. I wanted to make sure we were doing what is right for our members. Every now and then we had members posting more than 1 blog, excessively long blogs or even several songs at once. </p><p>The problem some of the existing members had was it bumped their blog or song off the main page. What I did was to removed all songs off the main page and we have the flashing banner or the link in the top right now. Once you click either one, you will get the most recent 15 plus at the bottom you will see Next Page to see the next 15. This should work out a lot better.</p><p>As for the blogs, we increased the number of blogs and reviews on the main page. We also limited the amount of text on the blogs and you can click the More Button to read the rest. </p><p>Hopefully this will help!</p><p>Dazed</p>

Hi Todd , i wanted to voice my vote and opinion , that i very much like the new layout plan of the Main page.
In the give-and-take tug-o-war of front page real estate, and how best to utilize it,, i think you've hit it real good with the idea of limiting blog text, and reserving main page space for the blogs and reviews !!!! Excellent.
Then , New songs , is a click for that list , which is now longer and the overall list is now more directly to hand.
Setting it so that new reviews rotate down the main page , is EXCELLENT, because that will help keep older song submissions moving in the public eye a bit-
I think you've made wise choices all round, and i for one, am a happy camper. - uh,, punch me if i say that again (happy camper) . LOLOL.
sssssssssssssssssssss
Yep,cool.
Took me a few seconds to locate the new songs button,but other than that
Good to see the thinking never stops.
Also noted the new forums,again,understood the reasoning and hopefuly the new one won't hate my pc so much LOL
Nigel.
Page looks great Dazed, and so do the comments, especially since that there Tsargoth fellow hasn't posted any of his negative juju on this thread.
The thinking may never stop but it sure has slowed down over the years!
Hi Dazed, great new design. My only suggestion might be to make the new song button a little more visible for us old folks wearing trifocals. I had trouble finding it at first.
actually I would like to eventually remove the button completely! We have the New Songs Link in the Menu at the top.
Thanks everyone! If there is one thing I hate, that is drama. I am glad to see some positive comments on this so for that I thank you guys! I think this was a win win for everyone.
Hey Wave! Glad you like it here
The song page has the ability to page forward to get the next 200+ pages of songs from newest to oldest. I would not want to set that up on the main page just from a coding standpoint alone!
Miss that ? Why ? He's not leaving,( at least he didn't tell me that he is ), just taking a break for a while until things settle down around here.
hi Dazed
I'm enjoying my time here.
I was wondering if the songs would be better on the main page and click for reviews, no?
