<p>Hey Everyone!</p>
<p>We decided to add something new to help promote the iMS Artists!</p>
<p>If you have listened to Mike's show Saturday Night Rocks over the last two weeks, you will have noticed a new feature he has added. It is called, iMS Radio's Center Stage Presentation. This is a fantastic feature to spotlight the many talents on iMusicScene by doing a short interview with them and playing some of their music.</p>
<p>Last week Mike featured Kephas and the week prior it was the Easton Brothers! So every week going forward, we are going to do a special week long Feature Spotlight of the artists here.</p>
<p>This area is still under construction so give me a few days to make it look nice 
</p>
<p>Dazed</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: large;">Happy Father's Day to all of you Dad's on iMusicScene!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who tuned into the iMS Radio Interview of Kieth Miller. We will continue running the rebroadcast for awhile if you missed it. Just click on the iMS Radio Button on the Menu. I think for those of you who tuned in, you will agree that Keith is an amazing guitar player! Please check out the interview if you have time. It runs about an hour and 10 minutes.</p>

<p>I have had some inquiries on our partnership with 2GuyTalking.com. There are banners at the top of the page by the way. Here was the press release which will provide some more information.</p>

a case full of "mix tapes" on CD, which make us think: Is the best way

out expensive CDs to people they've never met, hoping they'll like
their music?
<br /> <br /> *Of course it isn't!*
<br /> <br /> * *
What is way more like likely is to have them submit it to an online
traffic center like 2GuysTalking, a showcase for thousands of

great content in the form of your music. Those listeners then become a
gauge - as to who has the best music at The 2GuysTalking Musicians Corner!

let us know about your interest in the contest. Select your best track
that you'd like to have showcased and get it to 2GuysTalking. Whether

<p>Tonight is the night! iMusicScene is proud to announce an evening with Keith Miller.
We will be featuring the songs off of Keith's new CD, Over the Abyss. The show
will start at 9:00PM EST so please tune in to <a href="http://imusicscene.com:8010/listen.pls">iMS Radio</a> and join us in
the <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/chat/">Chat Room!</a> To keep the chat secure, we do require an iMS Account. Signing up is FREE and you can sign up as an <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/signup.php?mode=signup&quota_id=4">Artist</a> or as a <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/signup.php?mode=signup&quota_id=-1">Listener</a>. This is some mind blowing guitar work everyone. Keith is endorsed by some major companies and has played NAMM. That in itself is an accomplishment considering the caliber of players at that event!</p>
<p>From Keith's Bio -
<br />Born with a love for music, Keith Miller started playing the viola, and then the violin in grade school at the age of 9. Keith dreamed of playing the guitar and his parents agreed that if he learned violin that they would get him a guitar. Keith worked hard and got a 6-string acoustic guitar for Christmas when he was 12. He then taught himself to play by learning chords from a chord book.<br /><br />Keith advanced to writing his own songs and formed his first real band, “The Patriots”, in the 6th grade. The “Patriots” evolved into “Faith” a very good and promising band that Keith continued to play in until after high school when the band broke up. Keith continued playing violin though Junior High and sang in the choir in Junior High and High school.<br /><br />In 1990 Keith Miller enrolled in Musictech College of Music in Minneapolis. Always desiring to be more proficient as a guitar player and a better musician, Keith strived to master the guitar and music theory. After graduating from Musictech College of Music, Keith has kept himself busy with music by playing in bands, as well as doing recording/studio work. “PLEX’D” one of Keith’s most noted bands, received rave reviews in national magazines as well as some label interest. Keith also worked with the distinguished producer, Ira Ferguson. While Keith still plays with “PLEX’D” and has plans for future side projects, his main focus now is that of a solo artist. With that, he has released two successful albums, “Groove Train.” and "CHALK". Both CD's have been receiving great reviews and have charted in the top 10 most popular and best selling Instrumental Metal CD's on both Guitar Nine Records and CD Baby. "CHALK" was also picked at #4 for Best Instrumental Release of 2004 by ©QUINTESSENCE METAL</p>
<p>Hope to see you there!
<br /> Additionally, I took the liberty of uploading a 30 second clip of one of Keith's new songs.

<p>I have had this come up a few times so I thought I would do a quick post on it. When you are creating a message or updating your profile, the box you type in is what is known as a WYSIWYG (pronounced wissywig) or What You See is What You Get. So when you are creating the message, if a picture is not displayed that you added, it will not be there when you post it.</p>
<p>So how do you add videos? You will see a little HTML button in the top left next to B-Bold button. If you click on that, you can copy and paste the YouTube, MySpace, Google embed code in there. Scroll to the bottom, click update and you should now see the video in your text box. You can also do the same for links or pictures using html code. Videos will not appear in the WYSIWYG box but most other html formatting will.</p>
<p>You can also click on the YouTube button and just add the id. For example, usingiMS Promo all you would need to do is click the botton and add j3EIfm9tfDM in the ID field. It will look like the below.</p>
