<p><span style="font-size: small;">Facebook has now been fixed and you can use the application. You can go to any artist on Mixposure and click on the left side link for the Facebook Music Player to add that artist to your Facebook page or just go to the Application Page </span><a href="http://apps.facebook.com/mixposure/"><span style="font-size: small;">here</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. Once you add the artist, you can go click the drop down under Account > Application Settings > and click on the Edit Settings for My Music to determine who should have access. The songs will appear on the tab section like Wall, Info, Photos, Links & My Music. You can change the order of these by dragging them to the spot where you want them. This was a quick fix to get the music back up there. We will do some layout changes soon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The Chatroom is back together again. For whatever reason, there were some conflicts going on with the existing flash player so we just put a new one in. I should have done that first versus spending many hours trying to get the existing one to work. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">That leads us to where we are now. Since we have only had the new server in for less than a week, please tell me how it is running. Are you having any issues? Slowdowns? If you are having login issues, please close the Mixposure Page and delete your cookies. Then try and login again. If you still have issues, please try another browser to help isolate the issue. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just wanted to let everyone know that the server has been moved. There are probably a ton of things I will need to fix when I get home tonight. Depending on when you signed up, your user id may not have made it over. I will look into these tonight and see if I can get everything loaded that was missed. Somethings may have been dropped and we do apologize!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Also you will notice that the www2.mixposure.com url is now gone. This will change your embedded flash players you may have loaded on any external sites and they will need to be updated. I will look at the code tonight and make sure the embedded code is correct. If you want to fix it on your own, just drop the "2" in all the "www2" entries. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This move was very difficult due to the size of the site. Between all of the mp3's, videos and pictures, we had a lot of data. This took some time to move over. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So our apologies for the inconvenience.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Update:</span></p><p><span><span style="font-size: medium;">ok reloaded the chatroom (done) </span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Forum - If you can't login, just clear your cookies. There was a redirect setup that was killing this. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Still working on these stubborn issues</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Facebook App <br />If you see anything else, please post!</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wow I had no idea! Pascal (Old Mixposure Member) sent me an email today and had mentioned </span><a href="http://www.garageband.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">GarageBand.com</span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> is closing their site effective today. I think I need to get out more since I had no idea. This kind of amazes me because I always thought that was a great site with some talented musicians. Granted not as talented as the Mixposure Artists! <img title="Cool" src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is hard to believe that Mixposure has been around since 2004. I think that says a lot about the community here that we have been able to survive. So after reading about GarageBand closing down, it just reminds me to always take a moment and thank you for being a part of Mixposure. Without you guys, it would be very lonely here!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for being a part of this site everyone!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Just some updates!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The Facebook Application has been fixed! I spent a few hours today trying to get is resolved and I think it is there. If you are on Facebook and have the application loaded, just click the Change Artist Link and reload the same artist. That will then load all of your songs into the box. If you have not added it, just go here </span><a href="http://apps.facebook.com/Mixposure"><span style="font-size: small;">http://apps.facebook.com/Mixposure</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. You can then add any Mixposure </span><span style="font-size: small;">Artist to your page that you like. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We also added a Mixposure Social Networking Icon to your widget page. This will allow you to add an icon much like Facebook, MySpace etc. to any site you like with a link back to your Mixposure Page. Just choose your size!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><img src="http://www.mixposure.com/images/mix_icon_48x48.png" alt="" width="57" height="57" /><img src="http://www.mixposure.com/images/mix_icon_32x32.png" alt="" width="41" height="41" /><img src="http://www.mixposure.com/images/mix_icon_16x16.png" alt="" width="25" height="25" /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We have also added some links on your artist pages for social network sites. I still am looking to make a slight change to this but as it stands right now, you can click the Facebook Link,MySpace, Google etc. to post messages to those sites with links back to your music song page. I need to make one fix where it will actually post the Mixposure Song Player on it. It works for MySpace but the others I am still working on. To find these, just go to your music page and click on the Review and Info Link. That will take you to the Song Page with all of the song details and links. See the example below.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks for being a part of Mixposure everyone and a big thanks to all of the musicians that have become Premium Artists. Without your help, we would not be able to make all of the changes we do.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">ex:</span></p><p><img src="http://www.mixposure.com/image.php?mode=photo_image&band_id=10&image_id=5083" alt="" width="400" height="176" /></p>

This band has some very catchy tunes with amazing hooks. Their music is fresh and in my personal opinion, some of the best music I have heard on the internet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why do I think it is some of the best? Because I have always felt that a great tune leaves you wanting more and is memorable enough that you hear it in your head all day long. Do you remember the first time you heard Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, Photograph by Def Leppard, Drops of Jupiter by Train or anything by the Beatles? These songs simply had staying power. There was something in these songs that always stood out that made it memorable. The <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/The_Maudlin_Hounds/">Maudlin Hounds</a> write music much in the same way. There is something that sticks out in their music that makes you take notice. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Congratulations you guys, you deserve it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed </span></p>

If anyone is fickle about the right tone, these guitars hit the mark. No matter what genre you play...it sounds genuine to any signature guitar in the market. The pickups are truly innovative and the sustain is fantastic. Made with the great hardware and resonant woods like ash, maple, rosewood and mahogany. The finishing, playability and craftmanship is second to none. <br /><br /> How solid are they? When I took it out of the case for the first time after travelling all the way across North America...it was still in perfect tune when I picked it up ! I feel lucky to have the opportunity to experience one first hand. I also have to tell you that Frank is one of the nicest, most helpful people when it comes to making the right choice, because he makes all guitars to suit anyones taste & preference, and you are talking to a man who backs his product 100%. <br /><br /> I love watching my friends try out my Stratage and seeing their jaw drop with bewildered amazement. I can guarantee you will be nothing but elated to own one of these 6 string marvels ! - Bilbozo</span></em></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Frank was just at </span><strong><a href="http://www.rockitcon.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Rockitcon</span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;">as well as the </span><strong><a href="http://www.guitarshow.com/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dallas International Guitar Festival</span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;">where I had a chance to play them. These are truly remarkable guitars and ahead of their time. If you are in the Florida area, you can visit Sam Ash and give one a test drive.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks Frank for your support of Mixposure and the artists here!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A big thanks to everyone who participated in the June 2010 Same Song Title Madness! We had a bunch of entries but more importantly we had some amazing entries. The talent here never ceases to amaze me. Thanks to everyone who created a song a thanks to everyone who reviewed the songs. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We will do another site song in the not so distant future so if you missed this one, get ready for the next!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Frank was kind enough to give us a sneak peak at the new guitars he is putting out. These will be unveiled at </span><a href="http://www.rockitcon.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Rockitcon</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> next month I believe. I love these designs!!! I have added all the </span><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forums/showthread.php?12655-Sneak-Peak-at-Stratage-New-Guitars&p=108989#post108989" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">pictures to the forum</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> as well as some additional information that Frank sent me. If you are interested in buying a guitar, please let Frank know you are from Mixposure since he has added a special discount for our members. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Mixposure does not make any money from the sale of these guitars. Stratage advertises on Mixposure and also provides us with free guitars for Contests. Just ask Bilbozo about his Stratage Guitar!! I had the opportunity to play a few <a href="http://stratageguitars.com" target="_blank">Stratage Guitars</a> at the Dallas Guitar Festival. They are very unique and have sustain for days. I seriously think Frank has come up with the pickup system of the future. I get the feeling that it won't be long before the big guys are infringing on his patents and the lawsuits start flying. Sorry Frank but I think it is inevitable because your system is that good.
