The ability to sort songs has been added. You will see the circular arrows on the song page. Just click it and drag and drop songs in the order you like.
Congrats to G I and Joe for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week! Check out the song here !
Bio
All kinds of influences breed all kinds of creativity. G.I. (Stephan Hoff) and Jo (Joellen Cabot) have grown up embracing all kinds of different music. Joellen loves the vocals of the R & B divas, past and present, and it shows in her soulful, emotional vocal expressions. Her songwriting draws the listener in to relate-able experiences about life and all that a woman senses and feels. Stephan grew up singing and playing in the church. A musical family environment lent itself to his abilities to find a place to fit in, vocally and instrumentally. A stint in the 82nd Airborne Division provided his nickname. His influences range from rock, pop, jazz, and blues, embracing almost all genres of music and using a little part of all them as the driving force behind his songwriting and producing.
So we are now about a week in and I just wanted to touch base with everyone. I have started to add in some of the old site feeatures. You will notice a Radio Link in the menu with Podcast and Stream Links. I also added in Page Views and Lyrics to the artist pages. I will try and get to Song Review Counts added soon.
I have been asked, Why did you Change The Site? The simple reason is that the code on the old site was several years old. When we wanted to add new features, it required the developrs to make changes in multiple areas and was time consuming. The new site pretty much sets us up for the next several years. The old site was not built in a day and for those f you that were around in the beginning, you saw changes all of the time. This will be no different.
One of the new features you will see is Foxy Cart. One of the issues we were faced with on the old site is not everyone likes paypal. So people wanted to buy artists music but did not, or should I say would not, use paypal. Foxy Cart was an easy way to integrate with the site and allow users, from pretty much any country, the ability to purchase your songs, cd's, t-shirts and any other merchandise you would like to sell on your page. if you click on the link on your page, you obviously get a lot of feature rich reporting.
What I would like to ask is what features from the old site would you like to see on the new version? One of my top priorities is getting a Facebook App up and running. I would also like to see some new audio players that are a little cooler. So what do you guys want to see?

Hey Everyone! Slowly we are getting everything added back in. The goal of this new layout was due to a lot of feedback we had that the site was too complicated to navigate. I was not seeing that but when you work in it everyday it flows lol. With the changes coming from your page, I find it a lot easier to use then the old control panel.
It is my hope to add new audio players in the not so distant future. We will also have Facebook embed available as soon as possible. We will also try and add a lot of missing features from the old site,
We are now on a new server that is obviously an upgrade over what we had previously. The down time we experienced was due to seven years of data on our servers that we had to transfer to the new server. Our apologies for the delay. Originally I had hoped for 12 hours allowing me ample time to do some tweaks before we opened it back up. After being down as long as we were. I just wanted to be back online. So you guys are experiencing the worst part of code release. Bugs in the live environment. We will get them resolved 
Thanks again for hanging in there,
Todd
Hey Everyone!
There is still a lot of dust around here but it will all get swept up. The move took a lot of time and rather than be down any longer while I tweaked what was here, I decided to just open it up. We still need to add a lot of stuff that was on the old site but we will get there. By the way, to add comments to a blog the link is now at the top of the blog vs the bottom!
Thanks for your patience!

<p>It looks like Sunday will be the move to the new release. This is a pretty epic release everyone! I think everyone is going to like it from the standpoint that the site is the same layout/color but with some functionality changes.</p><p>As mentioned before, the audio players will be a bit basic and we will remedy that as quick as possible. The same is true for posting to FaceBook. </p><p>So my guess is on Sunday we will be done most of the day. </p><p>Thanks you everyone for your support!</p><p>Todd</p><p> </p><p> </p>
<p>I just wanted to give everyone some advanced notice that the current audio players we have will not be moving to the new version of Mixposure. If you are using them on your websites, you may want to make some other arrangements soon.</p><p>We will be going to HTML5 Audio Players and right now they are pretty basic players. I am hoping to add some new ones in the next 3-4 weeks but for now, they do not stand out to me as "cool". </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Todd</p><p> </p>
<p>The new Mixposure upgrades may be taking place as early as this Sunday or possibly the weekend after that. Once I know for sure, I will let everyone know.</p><p>The new changes have me extremely excited. I like change! There are just some cool features in this not to mention that the design is very intuitive. The control panel is gone and everything will be done from your page. It was also written using HTML5 so we have responsive design. What does that mean? It means that when you open the site up on your phone or tablet, it will resize and you will still have full site functionality.</p><p>Stay tuned everyone, it just gets better from here!</p><p>Todd</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
<p>Just a heads up that I have a ticket into out host about thbanded width error message being displayed on the artist pages. It should be resolved shortly. </p><p>Thanks and sorry!</p><p> </p><p> </p>
