<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">In an effort to make it easier when it comes to song reviews, we have added a new feature. On your artist page menu you will see that we added ALL SONG REVIEWS. This will basically give you a chronological order of all your song reviews in one location with a link to who wrote the review. I think this will make it a lot easier for all of us!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #ff0000;">Also I just added a new banner on the side of your artist page that will allow you to link an image as shown below on any web page directly to your artist page. I am not the best artist so if anyone wants to do banners, by all means jump in!<br /> </span></p>

Happy 4th of July! Be safe out there tonight everyone! <br /><br />I wanted to take a moment and welcome all of the new members that have signed up recently. Welcome aboard! Please stop by the <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25">Introduction Forum</a> and tell us a little bit about yourself.<br /><br />I have had a lot of emails and private messages of support for resurrecting the Mixposure.com domain name. It was a pricey investment but I hated to see it sitting there with stupid ads on it. We may not be the Mixposure of old but I hope with your help we can build something even better. <br /><br />I have been a member on many different music sites and have never found one with the caliber of musicians on this site other than MySpace and Soundclick. But let's face it, we are all on those sites! So I thank everyone for being here! <br /><br />Oh, we kind of spaced the Same Song Title Madness with everything that was going on. Stay tuned and we will set a new date.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dazed<br />

<p><span style="font-size: small;">We added a page on Facebook and Twitter will slowly be adding to them. Once we get them a little more up to speed we will be looking for everyone using them!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Also we may be integrating a twitter application on Mixposure in the not so distant future. Stay tuned!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">One of the cool things about the Mixposure Artist Theme is that you can customize it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In your Control Panel, click the Customize Your Site icon. This displays your theme layout colors. If you want to add a customized background, upload an image to Photoucket and link to it from within the theme. There are a variety of things you can do in here, play around with it to get a feel for it. If you are proficient with HTML, you can also click on the advanced view for more options.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">One of the other options is to click on View Shared Skins. This can also be a great starter point for some people. You can use one of the existing shared skins and modify it to however you want.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I am thinking we need to do a contest for coolest theme. Anyone up for this?</span></p>

<div>I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for all of the reviews that are being done. We have a ton of new music coming in and I see a lot of reviews being done. For that I thank you! I never want this site to be a storage bin for people's music. Maybe the free account upgrade is helping? If so we may have to do this periodically lol.</div>
<div>I also wanted to say it was nice to meet a lot of you Saturday Night in the Chatroom for Mike K's Saturday Night Rocks Radio Broadcast. This is a weekly 4 hour long live show where Mike plays music from the Mixposure Artists. This week he featured my fellow admin ReaperSG aka RWK during the Mix Radio - Center Stage Presentation. It was cool getting the inside scoop on Rick . If you are free this Saturday Night, please stop in and say hello!</div>
<div>If you have not visited the Forums as of yet, please stop by and Introduce yourself. Also if you have heard a great artist on Mixposure, please let us know in Nigel and Brian's Corner. Maybe your band is already mentioned in there?</div>
<div>Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or you can ask any of of mods or admins.</div>
<div>Additionally, I wanted to thank all of you that have upgraded and supported the site. It is greatly appreciated!</div>

<p><img alt="" />First I wanted to welcome all of the new members to Mixposure.com! If you have not already done so, please stop by the Introduction Forum and tell us a bit about yourself!</p>
<br />Thanks to Venuestudio for helping the artists out here and mixing all the songs you have done! Kent is a mod here and co-moderates the Recording Studio forums with Beerhunter. If you need a song remixed, post a message in the Help Mix My Song Forum. We have an upload server setup so you can send him the full wav files and not smaller mp3 files. Kent is not charging for this and will do it as time permits. He has done numerous songs for the members here and for that we all thank you!!<br /><br />Our apologies for the Same Song Title Madness version 10!! With everything that went on recently, we dropped the ball. The winning title was I KNOW TROUBLE. We will still use that song title and let's set a new due date of August 2nd. If you have not participated in one of these before the concept is simple. Everyone creates a song using that song title. It can be any genre you like. Vocals are not mandatory but help sell the song better! This is a great opportunity to collab with some of the members here!!<br /><br />As we announced before, we are running a Contest for July! As many people know, what makes this site unique is the members and song reviews! Many sites are just a storage bin for your music. Let's face it, we want to know what people think of our music. So for the top reviewer for July, we have decided that the person with the most reviews will have their account upgraded to a Premium Account. The Premium Accounts are not much different than the Basic Account other than they allow more songs and videos. We did not want people to have to pay to have all the features offered here. We would have liked to make this a 100% free site but that was just not possible.<br /><br />If you are knew to reviewing and are just not sure what to say, these may help! Remember, the best thank you that you can give for receiving a song review is to give one back in return!!<br /><br />Strength of hook/title:<br />Originality:<br />Appeal:<br />Focus:<br />Phrasing/cadence:<br />Arrangement:<br />Musicianship:<br />Strength of Melody/prosody:<br />Vocal delivery:<br />Backing vox:<br />Collaboration effort:<br />Recording mix/technical:<br /><br />Also, we made a slight change on the site some of you may have noticed already. Fans must be approved now and will not be auto-approved. You will be notified via private message that you have pending fans.<br /><br />As a reminder, I hope everyone is getting involved with 2GuysTalking and their hunt for the best songs of 2008!

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: large;">July Song Review Contest</span></span></p>
<p>We wanted to announce a little contest for the month of July. We are going to take a count of all "song comments" made by every member here and we will post the results. At the end of July we will see who has done the most song reviews and will upgrade their account to the next level. We will post updates through the month so everyne can see where they stand.</p>
<p>We will be looking at the review content. A review is not, "Cool Tune" or "Enjoyed it" so please make your review count. Here are some ideas for reviewing.</p>
<p><br />Strength of hook/title: <br />Originality: <br />Appeal: <br />Focus: <br />Phrasing/cadence: <br />Arrangement: <br /> Musicianship: <br />Strength of Melody/prosody: <br />Vocal delivery: <br />Backing vox: <br />Collaboration effort: <br />Recording mix/technical:</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
