<p class="maintexttitle">This time of year is when we typically do Holiday Song Submissions. Nigel happened to post the information about NASA and we both agreed it would make a great song submission for Mixposure. We have created a song genre of "NASA" so please use it when uploading your songs. Below is the information and links. Also please start thinking about or annual Mixposure Holiday song submissions! Any genre just have fun!</p><p class="maintexttitle">Dazed</p><p class="maintexttitle"> </p><p class="maintexttitle" style="text-align: center;">***********</p><p class="maintexttitle"> </p><p class="maintexttitle">Welcome to NASA's Space Rock!</p> <p>The wakeup song has been a part of the space program since the days of the Apollo missions, and now NASA is giving you a chance to be a part of this history!

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We have added an Update Status to your artist page although it still needs a little work. This is the same one currently in your control panel. It just makes more sense to change the location to make it easier. Right now when you use it, it is not redirecting properly and gives you an odd message. It does however update your Facebook page if you have linked your account. Just press the back button for now until I get it resolved. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have not linked your Mixposure Account to Facebook, just go into account info and scroll down and click the Post To Facebook button. Then follow the instructions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are also working on adding a Twitter integration. It works but unfortunately broke the Facebook application lol. Until that is resolved, I would rather just work with Facebook since we know it works. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hopefully the bugs will get resolved soon!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">OK so lately I am having one of those, "What gear would I like to buy" moments. In reality I need absolutely nothing. Since when did that ever matter though? I have been considering a PRS Guitar over the last few months. I would love an acoustic but PRS acoustics are about the price of a decent down payment on a car. Lately I am just not feeling very musical so I was wondering if something new would kickstart the drive and motivation back in me. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So anyone else in the market for new gear?</span></p><p> </p>
Just an FYI that we are doing some code changes so you may see some minor issues on the site. These will all be resolved shortly! Thanks for your patience! Dazed

Apologies for the site being up and down on Sunday! Our host identified some hardware issues that were causing the site to slow down. I am happy to say they fixed it and Mixposure is now smoking again! I see a huge difference in the page loads. <br /><br />We made some code changes to the site today and some more will be coming this week. Once I get everything in I will send a message out detailing what was changed. I think I fixed most of the bugs today but please let me know if you see anything!<br /><br />Thanks and Sorry!<br />Dazed
